Don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but, an 03 or 04 Cobra. I know it's not AWD, but, man, the trunk space on that thing is insane. Not to mention it is pretty much a super car in stock form.

Jeep SRT-8 would take the win.

A sho is not "fast" compared to certain cars like a Panamera, let alone a turbo model.

The new infiniti sedans are nice too, with AWD to boot and they're quick.

So you call the SHO not fast then suggest a "quick" Infiniti lol. I think we all know a SHO is going to be quicker/faster than the Infiniti.

I agree with you on the Raptor. I think the Tahoe RST is going to be a flop.

Just looked up the RST. Is it a joke? C'mon GM.

I was in your shoes exactly 2 months ago. I had a RS Focus as my daily, needed AWD, fun, but needed more room and the wife to be able to drive on occasion. I was looking at the MKZ but by the time you do the twin turbo engine and drivers package it got up there in price.

I went with the Fusion Sport, slapped on a set of snow tires and a 93 octane tune from Unleashed. Car rolls out, is fun to drive, and is amazing in the snow. I could have afforded more expensive but why? At the end of the day I'm going to put lots of miles on it driving it around with the family, and it's a really nice car. I was looking at BMW, Audi, ect as well, very happy with the sport.

Why not an STI? My last one was an animal in the snow with Conti DWS's on it.

Infiniti Q70L is a low 13 second car whereas the precious SHO is a high 13 second car. Not to mention that the infiniti is way better all around. That being said, this is not a discussion of modded vs. stock daily drivers.

Used CTSV will shit all over a SHO any day of the week and can be found for high 40's low 50's. Want to argue what a SHO can do against a CTSV?

& a SHO can be had for under $20k. Apples to oranges now.

I assume you mean the 5.6L V8 Q70L. That's also a $67k car... Anyway.........

Of course not

Infinity is a nice car, I think you are going to get a SHO for a lot cheaper than a comparable Infinity after you are done negotiating.

For a CTS-V vs SHO complete apples to oranges comparison. For a daily SHO is AWD and half the price new vs new....so that might be a better choice for the OP. If you live in states that have no winters sure a CTS-V would be fine all year around. I don't think anyone is arguing that a CTS-V wont "shit all over a SHO".

If we are talking used cars/trucks now, SRT8 Jeep > SHO all day, Monday-Friday, 365 days a year. Looks better, more luxurious, faster, AWD, etc.

Used 2017 Q70L's are around 38-40K, which is not really much for a luxury car with AWD and a 400+ HP V8.

I agree with the earlier comments, I would stay away from those particular imports you mentioned. They can cost some serious money to not only buy but to maintain.

Well since I just got one yesterday I will throw my two cents in and say get a gently used Lincoln MKS ecoboost. AWD, really nice interior, adaptive suspension and all the bells and whistles you could ask for.

Yeah, Lincoln are making some really nice looking cars and love the interiors. Perhaps something worth looking into. I know I would.

ANd I do love the new SRT Jeeps. I've always been a Jeep fan.

 

[blk02edge]

Id be buying the SRT jeep

 

[ArabianOak]

Is the srt Jeep any good in snow??

 

[AustinSN]

RS is good in the snow traction wise but the chin splitter was a mini snow plow.

If it was me I would probably go for a Fusion.

 

[03Sssnake]

Audi S7, or S5, used late model low mile cars are definitely inside your price range.

 

[03cobra#2]

Srt jeep is cool. If you have to drive a lot gas will get ya.

I recently drove my cousins G37x sedan for a week while she was out of town. I love that car 300hp/AWD and is surprisingly quick. It lightly rained one day and the way that car was able to merged into traffic was really nice, could never accelerate like that in the rain in my SRT. I then decided to look up what they cost and was blown away that I could get a 2012/2013 model for ~13-15k.

 

[Malern28us]

Lincoln Continental is offered in AWD...
Maxda CX-9 Signature AWD
I just recently purchased a 2010 Acura MDX SH-AWD and am enjoying it.
Not much snow here so far but the 300 hp is fun to play with.
I used to daily an old Subaru Outback wagon....
