I think that's what a lot of the appeal of the Skyline is. I mean it only comes RHD. That was my fasination with it. Not that it was supposed to be some major super car, but that it was different. Hell I'd still like to have one...For a daily driver... Gotta keep the miles down on the Camaro when I get it.

That's just IMO though.

Just a Cobalt. It'll be a HUGE upgrade

I'm hoping for RHD (as that's what we have here) - reckon it's be nearer $80k though which will mean it may not be the car I buy (we'll see!).

I'm selling my 2005 Monaro VXR - IF and WHEN I hear more about a UK Camaro!

If you can't have a Camaro...get a Vauxhall VXR-8!!!:p
About how much do those cars run for ($$) in the UK?

[KRPT]ECP · 12-18-2007, 09:22 AM

I'll be selling my car as well as some of my more rare prized toys... I just keep em in a display cabinet anyhow.

LOL Not quite as huge an upgrade as mine. Aveo - Camaro.

Though the Aveo was a pretty big DOWNgrade from my '02 Camaro...

If it helps, I'm going from a beater Impreza to the Camaro. The AWD to RWD will be a downgrade, but I'll be upgrading from slow and ugly ricer wagon to fast and hot American muscle.

Well if it handles well (as in 3x as good as a Mustang) then I'll sell my RX8 if not then I don't know may have to keep both.

2010_5thgen · 12-18-2007, 05:26 PM

i sold my 1999 T/A about 2 years ago,which was right when i heard about the new camaro. i actually saw the spy photos of the silver one with the 2 different front ends, before the car even came out, and thats when i sold mt TA. that was basically my money for the camaro. the TA was paid off so i put all that money strait in the bank

*GTAHVIT* · 12-18-2007, 08:34 PM

The 03 silv crew cab and the 03 Mazda 3 Hatch Back will be paid off that year. If possible I'm gonna try to keep em both. May have to trade one in to get the what ever the max HP option is... We'll see.

The VXR8 is a 4-door saloon - very different from a coupe (and I don't like saloons). Besides, it's expensive and does nothing that my Monaro doesn't so it doesn't really feel like i'd be upgrading in any way.

$-wise - it's ridiculous. I can put $150 in the tank and get 200 miles... costing $2000 a year in insurance and $500 for road tax. I don't know what those figures mean to you guys but to me, it'll never be a daily driver. :(

*Mr. Wyndham* · 12-19-2007, 07:50 AM

...I didn't know it was that bad on gas....
Wth do they have in it that does that?!?! :eek:

heehee, sorry I suggested it, then - TopGear just made it look so cool.

What's road tax?

$2000 a year for insurance is high, but no different than a lot of people (generally younger, or ticket/accident prone) pay.

The gas though is ridiculous. What is it a gallon (or litre) there? (In American dollars if you know. LOL)
