2010 Nissan Titan PRO-4X (could use for transporting bikes...to track and on trips)
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee ...
2010 Infiniti G37 Sport sedan

those are just a few I am looking at. I don't plan on any major modifications to any of these. So if you have ever dealt with these, let me know your thoughts and opinions on these choices. Feel free to add any other cars.
Hopefully I can offer some insight from a mechanical point of view.
2010 Genesis....Sorry can't really help here only a few of them around my area and most seem to always be at the dealership for something.
2011 Sonata.... Its a Hyundai its cheap for a reason be ready for expensive parts that are hard to find outside of the dealership and get ready quick, breakage will start around 30K
2010 Nissan Titan.... Decent truck pain in the butt to work on and again fairly expensive parts. It WILL act up wet but the problems will go away when it dries out. It WILL creek, pop, and rattle as soon as you drive it off the lot. If you really want to haul with it buy a Diesel (personal favorite being the duramax). If you go Diesel for the love of anything stay away from Ford, just open the hood you will understand.
2011 Grand Cherokee.... Only buy this if you get the SRT8 then you will atleast have a fast POS. Just my opinion but I have never liked the Cherokee line. But as far as mechanical they are pretty good although I have no experience with the SRT8s in anything besides the cars.
2011 Infinite G37..... Sorry no real experience here either spent some time with a friends 07 G37 but nothing more than driving it around. Fun car to drive but it is a 4 door and you will feel it everytime you push the car, but still fun.

Hope this helps good luck searching. And please ask to speak to somebody in the service department about average cost of repairs before buying. I have seen lots of people buy a car and then get bit real bad on repair costs.
