2010 Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Special Edition

Last week, we asked what supercar you would buy if you had an imaginary budget of $300,000. Today we’re getting a little bit more realistic – so, what car would you buy if your budget was $40,000?

Let us know your pick in the comments section below and make sure you do some research before you answer. You’d be surprised what you can purchase with $40K.

Omar Rana (Editor in Chief): Chevrolet Camaro SS 6-speed manual with Transformers Package.
Stephen Calogera (Senior Editor): Audi A4.
Kap Shah (Senior Editor ““ West Coast): Nissan 370Z 6-speed manual.
Anna Tarasova (Editor): Waiting for her response – 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor.

    BMW 135i 6-speed manual. Although Omar's and Kap's picks are making it hard for me.

    family car – A4
    fun car – 135i manual sounds great!

    If I'm going to get an Audi, It's going to be the A5. So what if it's the 4-banger, I just love the body style.

    Sienna Limited AWD. Big enough to carry 7 people and their stuff INSIDE the vehicle. AWD for the nasty snow we just had here in NYC. Sliding doors for those tight parking spaces and luxury abound with NAVI, HIDs, video etc.

    2010 Subaru WRX STI because its fun, its a realistic buy, and it wont do you any wrong in the long run.

    Taurus SHO..Though the $40 grand limit would keep me from getting it as I would.

    Damn… wish I had another $40k for the 135i. However, I'm very obsessed with the Camaro SS.

    For my friend GMfan87: The Chevrolet Vapor – oh, wait – the alleged price will be in excess of $40,000 and it may never make it to production.

    Make mine Nissan LEAP (frog).

  • GMfan87

    haha we'll see about that…

  • GMfan87

    I'm with omar, Camaro SS (RS), 6-speed, without the transformers package though. Maybe an '09 G8 GXP instead…not sure. If we're going used, Z51 '07 vette.

    A slightly used Jaguar XF with the 4.2 engine. Gorgeous, tight steering, and a divine interior..
