I would think the Vette comes to mind and possibly a used Viper. The Vet will do me just fine. Make mine Red.

Yep, 2006 Corvette Z06 - Born in the USA!!  

A definite winner in my books. MMMmmm, think it would take the Bullitt plus $x and the "x" is too big for me to handle. Oh, well.
2011 BMW X3 35i Vermillion Red, MSport
and
2012 Toyota Camry SE V6 in Alpine White

Detroit having trouble getting off the "employee discount" treadmill - a bad sign for profitability. Extended to Sept 30 now.

The next marketing campaign will be very similar to Wallmarts everyday low price.

Quiz - easy at that - What car is made in America, weighs only 3132#, generates 505 net HP, does 0-60 in 3.7 secs, tops out at more than 190MPH, and costs about $65k US (probably around $85K in Canada)???
 
Oh, yes, you canNOT buy it under the Employee Discount Plan. <img src="http://www.canadiandriver.com/discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>

It might top out at 190, but at the end of 1 mile, it's at 154 mph, the Viper SRT-10 is at 159, Ford GT is 171.....

Hmmm... you think they would push it to "buy 1 get 1 for half-price" soon?  Or, you wanna 'supersize' the engine for a buck and twenty?  LOL
