yeah I hear you on that, I wish the outside of the camry was a little bit nicer, it needs some serious attention, I think its going to be a 07 TSX Im kinda fallin for it the more I read about it, I was thinking about gettiing an STI but my Insurance will totally rape me.
The TSX is kinda what im looking for, at least that and the A3 are what have my attention.

and the car i really want ... 350z/s2000

btw, lowest depreciation for a car = mini cooper and next is s2000.
lowest depreciation for a car is actually:
prius
mini
xB

and really it should be the 2004 vw r32, go try and find a used one.
anyone with less than 50k miles is like 28k. still. they were 32 new.
What about a 90's RX7? They still want $30k for those things!

^^ same for all of the 90's Japanese turbo coupes. Except maybe the Z, only because there's about 10x more of them the than the Supra and Rx7's combined. Must have been the commercial with GI Joe taking Barbie for a ride.

Actually no, I wasn't blindfolded. I said the SE V6 because it looks more agressive than the regular Camrys. If everyone hates the Camry this much, I don't think I'll be showing pics of it when my mom ends up trading the tC in for the Camry Hybrid. But sorry for threadjacking man! TSX would be nice! Then you can JDM it!

my problem with the camry is the bulging rear and headlights(which is why i don't like the fj cruiser nor the new xb) and the fender "flares"/lines whatever you call them.

the camry is a great car. the power vs. the gas mileage is phucking sweet, but every professional reviewer of the thing makes the same negative comments as i did about it's exterior.

The Aura is pretty nice too, amazing what can happen when you just rebadge some Opels. Now if they'd just rebadge some more Euro/Aussie models.

well I think its gonna be the 2007 Acura TSX w/ navigation, Im probably gonna go pick it up on wednesday, any opinions on color? Im thinking black, but I do like the red and the white as well, I know black is a pain but man I think that car with blacked out windows would look hot when its all crisp and clean!

let me know guys!
thanks again

black has the highest resale value of all colors.

most of the tsx's i see are gray or blue.
i'd get black, black cars at night look the best imo. but i always would unless bright orange or envy green is available ;p
