Buying new is something I would like to do, yes.
However its not financially wise...
a 2007 GP GT would be nicely priced and a very nice vehicle.
Or even a 2008 GP GXP.
If you would like to wait a month or two... the 2012 Impala LTZ would make for a great vehicle.
303 HP from GM's 3.6L high feature V6.
