car) for a Budget of 50 – 60K what is the best Bang for the buck?

Answer 1

saturns are junk,they don't hold there value at all.Sure you pay 20k but in 3 years you'd be lucky to get $8.000 for that piece of crap,and i don't have to work at a car mag to figure that out.For 50 to 60k you could get a 2004 bmw m3 or a lexus or if you like domestics a new corvette or mustang.

Answer 2

Bang for the buck eh? Car's in the $50K+ range aren't usually spoken of in such terms. But if I had $50 to spend on a car for my family I'd probably get a Lexus GS 430 or BMW 550Xi, if you are single maybe a Porsche Cayman or Chevy Corvette or for SUV's the Acura MDX or Lexus RX430 are great.

Answer 3

The Saturn Aura, the North American car of the year.
Saturn has introduced an all-new mid-size sedan called the Aura. The 2007 Saturn Aura is the company's first truly credible entry in the most competitive segment of the automobile market. Compared with Saturn's last mid-size car, the unloved L-Series sedan and wagon that died quiet deaths back in 2004, the Aura is decidedly modern and fresh, with Euro character and aesthetic flair.
Aura comes with a choice of two powerful V6 engines. (And a hybrid model is on its way.) The Aura is competitively priced: The base XE starts at less than $20,495 and comes with a 224-horsepower V6 and four-speed automatic. The more powerful XR features a 252-hp V6 and six-speed automatic. Both V6 engines offer good fuel economy, rated 20 mpg city and 28-29 mpg highway.Underway, the Saturn Aura is quiet and handles well. I found it drives like a European family sedan, taut and responsive, with brakes, suspension and powertrain working together to respond to the driver's wishes. This is not surprising, given the Aura shares its structure with the German Opel Vectra.
The Saturn Aura is the #1 choice for consumers this year.
And soon you'll see why:

Answer 4

maybe a little over 60k but not much, the new Z06 is absolutely a brilliant machine. It can compete against Ferraris and Lambos and hold it's own or win. I saw a video of a new Z06 go from 0-180mph in ONE GEAR!!! Check out any articles about this beast and you will be at the nearest Chevrolet dealership with a check in your hand.
