What Do YOU Think IS The HOTTEST 2011-12 Ride Under $75k Base Price On The Market Right NOW?

CTS-V wagon.

Mercedes-Benz CLS

Audi A7 Prestige with Innovation package or a loaded Mercedes E550 Convertible.

1. Mercedes CLS550: Awesome (though polarizing) looks, beautiful interior, and that awesome TT V8.

2. BMW 550i: Another great engine, sleek body, and a very upscale interior.

Others in no particular order:

M3, C63, CTS-V, S4, A6 3.0, 740i, A7.

I agree with you on CLS, too.
Judging by the rest of the comments/suggestions, it looks like Lotus Evora or Porsche Cayman are the top choice.

M3 coupe competition package, 550xi M Sport, or CLS550.

A base Lotus Evora is under 75 K as is a Cayman R. So either of those 2.

Audi S5

-4 deboost for the Audi S5. Ouch!! But I agree with the deboosters for I am one of them.

Cayman
M3
E class

392 SRT Challenger

To answer this question properly you really must look at where your priorities lie. Do you want a jack of all trades, master of none sort of mish mash vehicle that tries to be a bit of everything? Or is there specific traits that you desire more?

The best performing vehicle under that $75k price point would be the Z06 Corvette

From there, start sacrificing performance for luxury features and you'll start getting into vehicles like the M3, CTS-V, 550xi. Go far enough away from the performance end and you'll probably end up with some sort of Lexus or the Equus.

Acura zdx

LOL!

oh I'm sorry I meant to say the Jeep Commander

The Lexus.... Oh... I forgot, they don't have any all new 2011/2012 vehicles.

Seriously... my favorite under 75k car? Probably the BMW 550i followed by the CTS-V and then the Audi S4. The BMW 1M is also in the hunt.

1M

SRT Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Lexus E350 (Camry Edition).

I would say the CLS 550 and audi S5 but everybody has already mentioned these. The M3 has also been talked about. There just anything from japan that comes to mind in that price range. And from the US, forget about it. The E class has a strange hold on me, it seems angular and aggressive. Haven't seen enough of the new 5 series but it seems cool.

That Camaro Convertible ZL1 looks pretty hot.

Hey, Agent001! What is YOUR hottest 2011-12 ride under $75K base price?

It is evident that we have some haters here who keep deboosting most of the decent posts, except the ones who mention American cars. Hence, there is no clear winner.

PS. Sorry guys, but there is no American car in this luxury league close to 75K that is worth spending money on.

It does say YOUR. If I could find a brand new Ferrari GTO for $74,999 it wouldn't fit MY needs, therefore, would not be on my list. ...but it would be on most people's list here, wouldn't it. I swear there are a bunch of twelve year old kids inhabiting this site.

1 - Acura ZDX
2 - Audi A7
3 - BMW 550xi

Practicality is overrated...

so many good cars at that pricepoint. several options:

1. A7
2. CLS
3. 550i
4. M3
5. CTS-V

depends what you need....but i'd probably go for the A7 right now.

Boxster Spyder
Cayman R
M3

Boxster Spyder...Love the Cayman R too but the Sypder sounds better.

You cant be for real? All the cars you listed are boring lifeless appliances.

And you call yourself an enthusiast? lol!!! What kind of enthusiast are you? Blandness enthusiast?

i'm just making fun of the lexus freaks who've deboosted everyone on here who's listed great german cars. lol. i agree these are the most boring cars on the planet...and they're only getting worse with cars like the HS and CT sales bombs.

That's easy question, Cayman R.
