Probably a Mazda 3 wagon, and if I was financially secure then I would get the Solstice or GTO as well.

Don't know why, maybe it's the 300HP, maybe it's just how cool it looks....But if we were going ANY car in the world.... I am a Ford GT kinda guy. Something about it makes me weak in the knees.

If I HAD to get a new car, I'd really be tempted to get an Acura RDX or Mazda CX-7. Or a Magnum R/T.But I'd probably end up with a Caliber or Honda FIT. Yuk.

Mazda Speed 3. I actually wanted a Vibe GT when they first came out but saw pics of the Mazda3 and figured I'd wait for one. I wasn't too impressed with the test drive of the 3S and heard rumors of a Speed version in the future. I couldn't wait and ended up with a left over 05 Vibe GT for VERY cheap and couldn't be happier.

I can't see getting a Mazda 3 wagon, it is so much a vibe clone that the "other than the Vibe" part of the original question should apply to it as well.

Ok, if I had to pick something OUT of the Vibe family, I'm thinking an orange Mini-Cooper convertible with black racing stripes on hood and bonnet. Yum.

Porche Cayman S in black w/red brake calipers and black interior. One of the best balanced, best handling, sweetest shifting, sweetest sounding, downrite sexiest mid engined cars on the market. All this with the practicality of two trunks. 14 cubic ft!Zero to 60 mph takes just 5 seconds and the car covers the standing quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds at 105 mph. 295 horse with the fuel economy of a buick (20-28). All this for 60k. Cheap for a Porsche and arguably better balanced than the 911. How can you go wrong?http://www.dailycars.ru/cars/p...2.jpg

An 06 350Z, just like my wife's. It is a blast to drive and you can get the base model for $26k.But since I car pool and put 25-30k miles on per year probably a 07 Camry with the V6. I wasn't pooling when I bought the Vibe, it has enough leg room (barely) but it doesn't handle or accelerate very well with 3 225# 6 foot plus people in it.

EEK. today is different from tomorrow... or next year or the year after. hard to say, but for now: i traded my VGT for what i wanted: 05 Legacy GT Lmtd (not the color i wanted but i like it more each day) 2.5L turbo 4 cyl 250/250 hp/tq AWD stock. now that i have AWD, i would NEVER get anything other than AWD for daily driving! no way! the handling is so smooth, holds onto the road, and dammit, it's sexy!next vehicle: so many choices, but my list would be:Legacy GT Spec B 6MT with STI swap (if i were to swap out my current LGT)BMW Z4 roadster convertible 6MTHonda S2000 convertible 6MTSaturn Sky Turbo 6MTNissan 350Z Sport convertible 6MTbasicly something with 6MT, a two seater roadster convertible (must have power roof). That's if I keep my LGT and just go with the upgraded turbo/TMIC/headers.

Probably a Nissan Versa. It would have to be big enough for 2 or possibly 3 people (at points) and would still have to be roughly as fuel efficient as the Vibe. I would consider a Mazda5, but that's probably a little more than I need.
