![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
First off, the Camaro isn't going anywhere, and is tucked away in a nice heated, secure garage on a trickle charger for the winter. I'm just looking for a new DD. In a perfect world, it would be new, have 4 doors, AT, AWD, factory NAV & Satillite radio, a touch of bling, big power, comfort, not be more than low $40's...but I'm open minded about this criteria...just looking for your ideas and opinions. TBSS, SRT8 Cherokee come to mind...SRT10 p/u has always interested me, as well as a GTO...what do you guys think? The Tahoe's loaded and 4wd price out north of $50K- too much for a Tahoe IMO even though I do like them...what else is out there?

I assuming snow or bad weather wont be a factor in RI.... Personally for a DD, I like GTO out of the group, the SRT10 pick up gets like 8mpg and is very nose heavy. That front end going to have to be rebuilt every 60k. I always like Acura's but thats me.
If they still offered a 97-03 style GTP id buy one of those now, but they dont

If your looing for a fun daily driver you can get the new Mazda Speed3. With 263 hp and 280 tq the thing should scream It comes with a 6 speed manual tranny and it's front wheel drive. good for the snow .. The base model is 22,800 and the grand touring is 24,550 . I was looking into getting one for the wife but she wanted a toyota matrix. The speed 3 does 0-60 in 5.8 sec. The Gto is nice but everyone is getting them .

I just got an 07 Avalanche and love it. You can get that or a Tahoe pretty well pimped under 40 and they have rebates and stuff. Its exactly want you described what you wanted.

I have always liked the Acura TSX for a DD car as well. My roommate has one and they are awesome cars. Good luck!

As much as I hate buying foreign stuff, I have to give my vote to the Accura for a DD. Drive everything you mentioned, then drive the Accura....you'll have a easy decision then....not to mention they kill everyone else in reliability...too bad we (USA) are killing ourselves in the auto industry.

TBSS - Nice SUV
SRT8 Jeep - Really nice but I worry about the powertrain/drivetrain. Since Benz took them over, things seem to be better but I dont know if they are using the same power/drive train combo so whatever. You dont see alot of high mileage Dodge's on the road for a reason in my eyes.
SRT10 - Plain out awesome if you dont mind the gas consumption and it is more of a weekend car and less of a daily driver... no auto and it's only rear wheel drive.
The new Avalanches have come a long way with style, they are slick. I always liked and still would take a Silverado SS AWD pickup over the rest.
If you dont need the extra seating space, I'd go with the Silverado SS, if you want more space, it'd be a toss up between the TBSS and the new Avalanche's.

I'd say SRT8, then TB SS.
I'll be getting a new D/D in a year or two. I Love the SRT8 and I like Cherokees, but either vehicle for me is not economical. Those things get like 10mpg, and I drive about 120 miles a day.
I'm looking into a Cobalt SS or a Mazdaspeed 3.
30+mpg, cheap, fwd better than rwd for snow, and fun to drive. I'm a Chevy guy at heart so I might get the cobalt.

TBSS for sure or a Silvy ss....thats what i want in the next couple years....you wont find me in a jeep!
My buddy has a new avalanche and he swears by it....people seem to love them
i just picked up a gtp for winter and it is alot of fun to drive, much quicker than i thought it would be and it gets decent gas mileage

Having the Viper motor is what makes the idea of it so cool...but I hear you- having a 2WD P/U w/ 500HP would be pretty gay for a winter DD in New England. AWD would make a lot more sense. Plus that quad cab Viper truck would not be much fun to fit into parking spaces.
