Don't forget the $19,000 GTi 1.8T, just as quick as the RSX-S for less, or the $24,000 WRX, which I'm looking to purchase soon.[hr]

I dunno if you have ever seen a Gti, but that is not a defentitly not a girl's car.

The depreciation on a Camaro is absurd. An hour after you drive it off the lot it is worth 1/2 of the orginal value. Same thing with all American cars. At least I have the assurance that when I want a new Honda or Acura I can at least trade in my Civic for a down payment or something.

And the winner is the Camaro! If you don't like Chevy's spotty reliability on the Camaro then there's the Mustang GT. Even the Altima has a better power to weight ratio than the RSX. If you really want power, trade your car in for something with power people.[hr]
[hr]
Since when has the Mustang GT been known as a reliable car? Mustangs have had a pretty horrible track record in terms of reliability.[hr][/QUOTE]

WTF are you talking about? In over 250K miles on my 4.6L there has yet to be a problem...

Good, then you wouldn't have plans to trade in for a sports car.

Depreciation on A NEW camaro will not be like that - ......I have the car insured for the purchase price for 2 years and after that I have a written guarantee from Chevy Canada that it will nto depreciate more than 20% (as long as I keep it maintained) - ...becuase of the 35th anniversary thing .....but I see your point....and I take that guarantee with a grain of salt

[hr]a Mustang and an RSX are just as reliable.[hr]
Thats the funniest thing Ive heard all day. You back that up with proof and ill give you a cookie [hr]
Every Mustang since the introduction of the 4.6L engine has been given a 5-star rating for reliability. I don't see why it would change for the latest Mustangs using the 4.6L. Even the 5.0L Mustangs during the 90s were very reliable.

With the exception of the Nissan, aren't they all "sports" cars?
