got a budget of $60k for a new or near new car...

cant find anything that has as many features as the presara.

anyone?

$60k could easily get you a range of cars. I'd say get an Audi A4, they're so damn stylish!

Hmmmm... Lexus IS250 or Honda Accord Euro

This is the Aurion section of the Toyota Owners forum.. You should post these sorts of threads into the General section, not here.

You need to provide us with more information.

What type of car are you after would be a good starting point - Luxury, Sports Luxury, Sports, Euro, Japanese, Korean?

i say get a hot liberty

I agree with Taco wrong section for this topic.

Get a TRD Aurion or a Spec B 3.0 Libby from japanese cars.

Otherwise get a year or two old beemer and be done with it.

sorry, posted in the aurion section coz thats the only place i go...

looking for a lux or sports/lux - jap or euro

must be similar size with all the features of the presara, and have the same power

Audi a4 - maybe;
IS250 - too small;
TRD - doesnt have all the presara fruit;
Liberty - no fruit except the stereo;
Accord Euro - slow!

wat other european cars are decent?

mate, forget stylish, get a lotus XD
much more enjoyable

Evo

The thing about luxury cars in that price range is that they are either slow, or they are fast. There's really no in between, so with $60k that will get you base models of most of those vehicles which will be in the 4 cylinder range and definitely wont have as much power as the Aurion. If that was the case, then I would say the Liberty is your best bet as those European cars generally aren't very powerful until you're paying well over $80-90k.

Oh, and other cars in that price range include: BMW 3-series and Mercedes C Class. If you aren't worried about size and you want power, a VW R32 would be the way to go.

Up your budget or settle for a 325 beemer good balance of power and luxury and handles brilliantly
