Daily Driver car ideas

I've had this car just under 2 months and 3,000 miles now so figured I'd do an update.
It's getting 26-27.5 mpg on my commute which is roughly 22 miles 55 mph backroad, 28 miles 70 mph interstate, 25 miles hwy 1 into downtown. That's just driving how I normally drive, I'm sure I could squeeze 1-2 mpg more out of it if I tried, and it would do 30+ on a highway trip.
It's the most comfortable car I've had, handles great, and has decent power. It could really use 50 more horses and a limited slip rear to be really fun. In a few years when I'm shopping for the next car, I'd probably lean towards a 330i if I get another BMW.

A little over 5 months now, 8,000 miles and damn you car ADD! Nothing really wrong with the car but it's just not what I expected and I'm not in love with it... seriously considering putting a for sale sign on it by the road and looking for something else.
Any of you car dealer guys have any experience with G8 GTs

No, but they are bad ***. Good luck finding one for a decent price though.
Go ahead and get something you keep and pony up for a gxp. I was beside one In traffic on 285 one day and It was the best sounding car I've ever heard. Camming like hell and loud.
I want to find a trailblazer ss. Best all around vehicle I think. Haul *** and yo kids and pull your trailer along. The trans in them suck but they can be fixed/upgraded. They're reasonably priced too. Always wanted a typhoon, it's kinda the modern version

Yeah, they've held their value really well. I should have just bought one in '09 when they couldn't get them off dealer lots. I know where one is that I think is reasonable, but it's got 130,000 miles on it. That doesn't bother me too much with a chevy ls though.
Not interested in a GXP. They cost too much and don't get the mileage I'd need for a DD. The GT has active cylinder management, uses 87 octane, and a 2.92 rear end. I've run some numbers and I think it would actually be cheaper than the 26 mpg on premium of the 325.
I plan to pay off my student loans if I get back what I'm expecting from taxes, and I just got the OK to have a car payment as long as it is less than my loan payment
. So... come on W2s!

Typhoons are cool as ****. We bought one with like 36K miles on it years ago at an auction and I wanted to keep that thing sooo bad. Maybe one day when I get ahead in life.
I read somewhere they were selling 5K under sticker at times. I think mostly because of the fear and rumors of Pontiac going under.
Could be. I know the used ones were always on the money.
I think he's asking $5k for this one, it needs cleaning up but damn http://columbia.craigslist.org/cto/4837345253.html
Guy my parents go to church with have a syclone and a typhoon, bought new. Id love to have a typhoon but a T type regal is my preferred GM turbo vehicle.
The GXP's are priced ridiculously high. I like the GT's though, would be a nice car, huge potential. I got stuck on the interstate yesterday morning bc of a wreck and watched an hr of youtube videos of g8 GT's and TBSS. They both sound awesome.
A ctsv wagon would be sweet!
