    Default Help me select a new car

    So as some of you know, my poor 2015 Mazda 3 GT met it's match when it slammed into an improper left turning vehicle at an intersection. So now comes the time to select a new car ...and I'm thinking of perhaps selecting something other than a Mazda 3 (sorry ).

    Up for consideration is the following:

    1. 2018 Acura TLX Elite A-spec 3.5L V6
    2. 2016 - 2018 Lexus IS300 or 350 V6 F-sport

    Let me know your thoughts 
    Current: 2021 Audi A5; 2008 Saab 9-3; 2003 Acura RSX Base

    Previous: 2015 Mazda 3 GT Hatchback; 2008 Mazda 3 GT Hatchback

    Nice. Going with a bigger engine V6! Lexus 350 would be nice.

    2018 Acura in white looks great. My coworker loves their 15 Lexus IS350. both great cars. the Lexus might retain value a bit better?

    For a few thousand more, you can get an Infinity Q50 Red Sport ( 400-hp 3.0-Litre Twin-Turbo V6 ; AWD) or the Q50 3.0t LUXE (300-hp 3.0-Litre Twin-Turbo V6 ; AWD) at roughly the same price as the Acura

    I'm no longer allowed to have a white car ... I think it's my cursed color ...I've totalled three white cars in 18 years (none of them my fault!!!)

    Acura in red or black then? Both in red would look awesome.

    I think the IS300 is more affordable to me atm ...

    I went to test drive it today, love it ... probably a 2017 IS300 F-Sport 2 package in blue with black pleather (I can't believe they don't have real leather seating!!!)

    Looked at the Q50 today, I like it, but it's a little big ... looks more like a car I should be driven in rather than driving.
