I like all the options but the Mustang, but my vote is for the GTO. Although the Caddy makes a cool wife-mobile....just my two cents.

CTS, I wouldn't want to rack up a bunch of miles on a GTO or C5, but rather keep them in the garage.

I think the GTO would work out good. If you were considering the cts-v, that would have been my choice. I am a mustang guy (don't tell anyone), but the 97-98 cobras don't do much for me.

... nice clean low milage C5 Z06... IMO... it'll keep its value over the other selections. Although I wish the Aussies would have built the seats for the C5 (including the door panels)... the GTO seats and their quality are not matched in ANY GM vehicle to date, again, IMO

i vote cts.... i work at a gm dealer.


c5.... 1 little bump will destroy the alighnment of the body panels... not to mention damn near everything is expensive for them.

gto.... everything is expensive for them... the keys are way expensive... if you have a power steering leak it will go all over your alternator which is positioned in a great position right below it. not to mention the alternator runs over 800 bucks.. and the gtos have ignition lock cylinder problems, shifer problems, diff problems, rear seats the seams rip up top where the sun hits them... etc. etc. etc. you get the point

tahoe... mileage might get into the doble digits going downhill with a tailwind

mustang its a ford (enough said )
