Life is too short for boring cars.

You got something brewing?

Maybe.

Something with a Hemi perhaps??

Nope.

Nope.

 

It does have over 300 hp.

What colour?

So the Pentastar Challenger has 303hp.  The acharger has 300.  Bubba said over 300hp, so I call Challenger.

Hopefully in Plum Crazy Purple.  Love that colour!

I decided to not make the purchase.  It was a 2013 Hyundai Genesis sedan.

You keep lusting over Mopar products, then buying/looking to buy non-mopar products.  You're playing with my mental wellbeing here, man.

I had a Genesis as a rental in Arizona way back in 2012 and have loved that first generation since.

That would have been very nice.  Were they not willing to give you what you wanted for the Corolla?

I absolutely love those first-get Genesis sedans.

Well that's too bad you chose not to.  Having a 300hp RWD vehicle is definitely a step up from a Corolla of any generation, even if it's from a company almost the polar opposite of Mopar.  So is there a story on how this came about and why you chose not to go that way?

While I'm sure the Hyundai would have been a nice ride, you can also rest easy with the reliability and low operating costs of your Corolla.  Maybe take a second look at a Genesis when the market returns to something more like normal.

Being within five years of retirement, my plan was to buy a new car when I packed it in.

However, first generation Genesis sedans seldom appear for sale, especially with so few kilometres, so I thought I'd have a look.

I was offered $10k for the Corolla, which I thought was a fair trade-in value, and the Genesis price was right in the ballpark. 

Ultimately, I decided to stick to my original plan and buy new when I retire. 

The Corolla is the right car for $2/L gas, so I'll spend a few bucks on tinting and, maybe, the TRD lowering springs.

Great plan!  Here's hoping for an epic "what should I buy" thread!

Definitely fair.  Only issue I see, will you even be able to buy a Hemi new in 5 years?  Or even a V6 for that matter?

That's a good question.  I hope there's ICE car I like available in five years.

I have little doubt that ICE cars aimed at enthusiasts will still be available.  Look at the 370Z....that will have a loooonngg product life cycle, and it was just released.  Also, no way electric cars will be cheap enough the serve the entire market.....sales share will not go from 10% to 100% in 5 years.

I know you won't be looking for an SUV, but for example I would not be surprised if the next gen Pilot is electrified to some extent....but if Honda thinks the average family looking for a 3-row is going to drop $80k on an all electric one, watch them collect dust.  They will at the very least need to offer a gas/hybrid to keep pricing palatable.

I was speaking more towards the type of cars that Bubba typically goes for.  No more ICE chargers, challengers, 300's.  The only V8 sedans seem to be all high end stuff, and finding just a V6 is getting impossible.  I'm sure Hyundai will still have an N vehicle or two, performance compacts and what not, but does Bubba really want something like that?  Might only be the Mustang with a car that is somewhat affordable with a V8, but then you're driving a Mustang year round.
