Need to choose a 4-door. Ideas?

The camaro isn't practical anymore so I need to go to a 4-door option.

Problem is I don't want to downgrade in power and torque. So here is whan I'm looking for:
  • Must have 300 hp or greater.
  • Make/Model doesn't matter.
  • Can be a 4T to an 8 cyl. Car, truck, or SUV.
  • 6 yrs or younger.
  • $33k or less.

I know the Charger R/T and the G8 GT are options but are there amy other choices? I looked for a while but I haven't found anything that was powerful yet cool.

I don't want to get a Camry-ish and say oh well.

Thoughts?

Evo and STI are your 4banger turbo options. I would lean towards the G8.

I just traded my 2008 Cadillac CTS. Was a great car and loved every minute of it.

I drive the new Taurus at work and hate it, no shoulder room at all.

My suggestions are ....
1) Gently used Cadillac
2) The new Impala
3) The new version of the Charger
4) Jeep Grand Cherokee

How tall are you? I'm nearly 6 ft tall and did a test drive on a 14 Taurus SHO this weekend and it was great.

Same.

But a '13 SHO will be over 32k let alone a '14.

I'm 5'11 but I have very broad shoulders. The "B" pillar hits me in the shoulder when I adjust the seat to my height. So either I'm riding up on the steering wheel or have the seat all the way back were I can't see well out to my left.

If I had to buy a 4 Door I'd go for a 2011 Charger r/t or a G8.
