New car thoughts

[GTP owner]

Just though i would put this out there and see what ideas people throw up - prefer sensible ones, not "this car is ace and others suck".

Also, serious modding for the ford stuff is not really on the cards. There is only 1 workshop in tas with the ability to tune late model fords and i am not really full of confidence in their skills yet.

Ok, so what am i looking at.
1. gte. There is a thread in the fpv section where i have written about my drive in the gte demonstrator that is at this moment sitting in my carport.
Price $68,000 drive away price.
Good - engine, it is fast enough for a daily driver, front end bite and ability to seriously carve up corners, sound, 6,500rpm redline :1syellow1 , nice interior, it's a ford!
Not so good - it is slower than the current bf xr6t, woodgrain grandpa bits, seats are not as comfy for me, v8s should be manual, needs louder exhaust.

2. Audi rs4.
Price $110,000 second hand with 20,000km.
Good - seriously fast, sounds horn, retain value better as most depreciation in done, 4 wheel drive is suited to tassie wet roads better than rear drivers, subtle, rare (only 2 in Tas), and the wife seriously wants one.
Bad - not much room in the back. We have 3 kids, and they are a bit squeezy - maybe i should leave them behind. Not much else is bad.

3. f6
I can't get one for a test drive here in tas. They sell every one as soon as it hits the showroom. I have driven 3 ba-bf f6s, and they were all great, but left me wanting a v8. Fast yes, but soulless. So i bought a xr6t and it went faster than all 3 i had driven. And it would have to be an auto.
Good - seriously fast, best handling aussie car out there.
Bad - it's not a v8 (for those of you who are not v8 men you probably won't understand, but that is just me), sounds like a vacuum, fg is uglier than ba series (in my opinion - but then again i am the one buying), will i get bored of it in 2 years and wish it was a v8?

4. hsv senator manual.
I have driven a few of the hsv products now and i have been impressed. I like the looks, especially the senator's understated styling. 20 inch wheels yes please.
Good - mrc, handling at the limit leaves the gte behind, 20 inches of wheels, sounds horn, does't look like a boy racer, i can get it tuned here in tas, including cam and chip.
Bad - it's a holden, reliability?, dash looks crap, will it rattle after 50,000km?

So your thoughts? I don't want a winged warrior, or a highly modified streeter (i have a race car for that). I want something for the family that the missus will be happy to drive and not attract the wrong kind of attention.
