Talking

In the next few days I am going to be buying a new car. Although I love my Camaro, she has just been having too many problems as of late. And I don't have money to keep pumping into it. I'd rather have a nice new car with a warranty on it, or newer used car with an extended warranty on it. So... I am looking at Ford Explorers, Chevy Impalas (The newer ones), maybe a Malibu, I am open to other cars as well. Just wondering what you might all get if you were gonna buy a new car. Don't want to spend over 17,000-18,000 US. Not sure what that translates into Canadian. Just looking for some input on the cars I listed or any other suggestions all you fine lads may have.

R.I.P. to my poor Camaro. This thing has just been one big headache from the start!

My Car a.k.a. The Money Pit

How are those in the winter? I should have mentioned preferably something that will get around good when it snows a foot and a half!

EDIT: Oh I'll tell you what! This looks mean as hell!

</font>[/QUOTE]depends......The 17 inch wheels and tires are not the greatest in the snow. Not bad mind you...but if you buy a cheap set of winter wheels from walmart and get a good set of winter tires it would ROCK!

btw.....that is a mazda 6 in that picture.

If you wanted to keep in the Chevy family (despite the probs with the Camaro), I'd check out a Malibu Maxx.

Looks pretty sweet at this angle.

^that G6 looks nice. Is it replacing the GrandPrix?

The Maxx has good system possibilities with that hatch though.
