So pending the sale/trade in of the current monster of mine, I am looking at getting into a new ride for the '05. Now, heres my situation:

I am at a toss up as to the new v8 4.6L AWD STS...

or the AWD Infiniti FX45

I want something big body-like (as you can see) where I can't go mod crazy,(NO MORE TUNER CARS!!) yet something practical. I am 24 years old, no kids (yet, or that I know of)
Image
and about to get into a house in a little over a month. Not sure if any of that helps, but gimme some opinions, or something similar...

Nothing else out right now really screams out at me, unless I'm overlooking something?? Let me know what ya think

STS is nice and all but it is still an over 50's kind of vehicle.That said I would say go with the Infiniti FX45.

OR.......
The new Audi A4

FX45 all the way. A good friend of mine has a FX35, and that is one sweet car. Faster then I expected, and corners incredible for something that size. That thing will keep up with the focus in the twisties, no joke (my flame suit is on, fire away). Just an all around great car.

The caddy, eh. I'm not a big fan of domestic cars, focus excluded......

I'd say its about 50/50 with you peeps... The reason I want the STS even though its not the "sporty" car, is the overall car appearance. Its got the nice big grill w/a very clean front end, and the interior is very well put together. I rented one a few weeks ago while on vacation and fell in love with it. Ease of use was the key with this car. It had remote start, (no ignition at all!), controls were fairly easy to operate... I mean granted, its not the CTS-v, which I would really like, but the STS is a great vehicle for me. Big body, it says luxury and I've always wanted a Cadi

The fx45 I think would tempt me to mod again, as my girl has already started with her G35
Image
The car I really wanted was a Cadillac Fleetwood, but the woman says NO, and I can already see me puttin switches on it...

I may be lookin at the FX again this weekend, and possibly an Audi dealership..

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do at 24 that you can afford either of these vehicles. It would also help me answer your question better.

Fortune 500 huh, I think you may be setting your goals to low. Wait for the STS-V. Oh, and I'm really not hating on you, its just that I'm a 25 year old broke d--- biologist. Just very jealous.
