Less than $30K daily driver,what you'd buy?

Lenie, we know of course that at least 500hp is the right thing to do for a daily driver, but does your wife want more than 200 hp?

Skip, you're definitely on to something with that statement. Greg's AMG barge, Josh's (tuned) E55, or even my GT500 are excessive on horsepower for a daily driver. If 500+ seems excessive, I would think 350 would be barely adequate for Lenie's wife, right?

Perhaps Lenie could post here before $$$ change hands to get our approval, rather than us takin' up all this bandwidth guessin' what the Missus wants.

Great thread, I will be treading this path soon as I may be replacing my DD in the next few months.

I'm with you, 500hp + but fuel economy here is a bit of a concern so yes something in between 300-500hp and she's the one who need it to be a little sporty also.
