I ain't buying a few of these:

Marauder? Friggin' overpriced slug.

Corvette? I'm a :patriot, but the build quality STILL sucks.

SSR? Spanked one (twice) with my Q... Would have slowed down to laugh at the slob who paid $50K for something that looks like an a$$wart, but why bother.

Obviously Kiplinger's not a TRUE enthusiast.

I'll take an M45 over the Marauder. In one year the Muckury would be worth 1/2 of its value. I'm sure more heads would turn with the Infiniti. The Marauder is nothing but a police curser look a like with rims, fog lights, and a cd player. Yuk. At night people would be slamming on the breaks "opps I thought you were a trouper in an unmarked Crown Victoria." Kev...

Also itss been advertised as a 4 door muslce car but is actuially quite a bit slower than a earlly 90's Q.

There are actually G35's that start at $23,000? I've never seen one.

No - The range for the category is 23K to 30K.

The G just happens to fit into the range (admittedly at the high end of it).

The Marauder is about 10 years too late.
