gs300 is comparable in size as a 5series though. ls400 is comparable to the 7 series...

+1 for a cts. but id get a v8, those ls engines get pretty good gas mileage for a v8.
 
Posted by alexdel209 (Member # 9239) on :
 
no dont need another v8 and acuras are nice but they are too expensive

45k [Eek!] [Eek!] buy a 7k car and with the ramaining 37k you will have money for gas for the rest of your life!!

if you get the cts, get the v, think its about the same gas milage if not better.
i would say an ls1 notch its the best bet!
