which car for the boss

[lostdude]

bmw m5

[TZENU]

Ford wise i would go the Fairlane or maybe the Force 6/8???
International wise would say a BMW...

[jdg]

5 series is classy but not that much room in the back and quite expensive compared to other models listed here...

Get a black Caprice

Do you have any more specific requirements?

All three are quite nice. Is power of any major concern or is it more room/comfort?

[XR8-260]

Out of those three - Territory Turbo :

[Blue Oval Mopar Man]

None of the above !

Go a Lamborghini ! So he may have to make a few trips, but damn.... he will enjoy the hell out of it !

But seriously, the Fairlane would be the best for this situation !

[v8falconsrule]

i would honestly recommend the g8 fairlane- v8 grunt and sound, very confortable ride, and they look hot.... only problem is they may be dropping the fairlane soon? will you be buying soonish?

otherwise go the fairmont ghia, for a good ride, not as big and bulky, good looking body and interior options.make mine seduce or ego, sunroof and xr spoiler thanks :1syellow1

[snailracing]

I can't beleive the amount of people recomending GM product WTF!!

My personal choice would be the new BFII Fairmont Giha. They have amazing road presence, look as sexy as hell, and with the optional 3v 5.4 I think it would be a great board directors car.

If I had the cash, and was looking for a car of this type it's what Id buy, even over a XR8!

[Dean C]

How about the Force 6 / 8

[XR6TCraig]

M3, M5 or Audi RS4. Impress the clients plus there are plenty of $$ for the accountant to depreciate each year at tax time. These cars are also more expensive to maintain, insure, etc, which also means more meat at tax time!

[XPfalcon170]

i say the fairlane or even LTD (even if its just a different badge). nice big spacious sedan for the boss man.

[stevz]

Another vote for the Caprice.

[irsa76]

Fairlane, LTD if he could reach that far. The LTD used to be the choice for Aussie businessmen who have made it. Plus I reckon you could get a really good deal on one, I doubt a Territory Turbo would have much wriggle room on the price.

[Iphido]

I would concider:
- Statesman, They are huge, new, comfy, and definately luxurous on the inside. If you had to move people in style and comfort get one of these. Atleast drive it to clear the air and have no regrets. These things are like a club lounge or a yacht inside.

-BF II Fairmont Ghia, smaller but should be fine for driving 3 passengers around. Tight in the back tho, small adults would be ok, or for a short distance. Tan leather is nice, the added chrome is a very nice touch on the inside. Get a V8 and fit a LSD and a supercharger.

-Territory Ghia, if you can live with owning a 4WD.

-Audi A8, take one for a drive. Fantastic car, lifeless drive.
-Merc S class, huge! Brand new shape, all the gizmos, radar, 80GB HD etc.

[Interceptor]

biggest thing to consider is what kinda business is it?

[[Tonko]]

Black G8 with china beige (slightly off white) leather, dark tint and 19's....mmmm.....

I would choose the Territory. Plenty of room for driving people around.

However I do like the idea of beers in the back of the ute.

We have a Territory turbo Ghia and I'm impressed by the votes. T has good resale and userfriendliness on it's side. It would be a good option and worth a drive for sure. I'd also consider a LR3 Disco or even a Volvo XC90, V8 sport is nice.

Fairlane and Fairmont Ghia are great and would probably be the way I'd go. Big savings should be easily attained. Choice would come down to deal.

Clients and especially suppliers seem to be more impressed by a boss who could obviously afford a much more costly car, but drives something nice and both sensible and affordable. This shows someone who has substance not just flash and dash - they will pay the bill or concentrate on the business, not milk and run.

A Fairmont Ghia in say Ego with china beige is about as nice as a Jag, and now at a bargain price.

If he's in no hurry tell the dealer you're happy to wait for an Orion, unless they can swing a deal now and changeover in say 18 months.

Mini Cooper S

[Feathers]

Fairlane in black.

A **** to keep clean, but gives off the powerful "mafia staff car" impression.

[mr_xr8]

now i was thinking about it last night
if we go the terry turbo i could get spiro to work some magic on it wonder how that would turn out???

[cool65]

A aussie territory ghia turbo (in right color) rolling on 20's will impress all customers.

As a boss (that meets & greets compaired to the ivory tower type) you don't want to be driving around in a 100k+ car as customers think that the price margin they are paying for supply is also paying also for your extravagent set of "euro" wheels. and envy is a b&@#$

My point exactly...

BTW what is the right colour? IYHO
I have Seduce which replaced Silhouette, friend has Neo - nice but probably not dignified enough, which goes for Obsession too.
Silk if it happens sounds like the goods with a description of between Ego and Mercury Silver.

[TUF_302]

Id go the BF Mk2 Fairmont ghia, heaps of room, and a bloody lovely car to drive, best car ive ever driven

[schnoods]

I would get the Fairmont.

If he is taking out clients all the time it shows that he has style and is also down to earth as well. A four wheel drive is cumbersome at times especially any where near restaurants and so forth and can bring on fustration when trying to park it. At the same time if you drive a fairlane or statesman it can also give the wrong impression of the way the company does business.

I should know, i just sold my 2003 statesman and i have been labelled everything from a budding entrepreneur to a dealer of some sort.

Plus the savings would make it sweeter.

Buy a second hand one, they don't hold their value very well.

[fou_bleu]

Fairmont Ghia anyone?? Fairmont would be good. Fairlane culled and Territory Turbo would be seen as 'absurd'!

[BAFalconXT]

What about a Typhoon, GT, Force 8 or 6???

Otherwise a Fairlane Ghia...

My boss has a Turbo Terry as a company car and he's in his 70's. Hang on that is absurd! :

I still say a 'Lane for the extra space but he better get in quick if he wants a newy.

[DJM83]

Audi S4

[Binnie]

Go the Fairlane gotta love it
