Go test drive a GTO. I'm betting you'll get bitten like I did Prices for used ones have dropped a lot recently too.

Back seats are very comfortable (kind of a pain to get into, but once you're back there it's real nice).
LS1 and LS2 engines have a lot of aftermarket support
I got 25mpg on my last road trip from Phx to Abq doing 85-90 the whole way
Mid 13's in the 1/4 bone stock

Any LSx engined car is going to get bad city mileage. You're looking at the wrong type of cars if you are concerned with gas mileage.

If you have the truck with an auto, get a manual in the car. You can have fun driving it, but if you get tired of driving stick go back and drive the truck for a few days.

BTW, my GTO gets about 18 in stop and go city traffic, and I don't drive very nicely.

thanks for the input from everyone oh and thats not true than any lsx engine gets bad intown mileage, like thunder said, the gto is decent for a v8 and i know vettes get pretty damn good mileage also. i think its gonna be between CTS-V, GTO, and a G8 guess ill just have to look and room,price,mileage,insurance rates and drive one before i can make a choice.atleat i got it narrowed down to three .. i guessing cheapest to mosts expensive will be GTO,CTS-V,G8

Being 18 and insurance playing a big role in what you get I would opt for an older GM car. Whether it be an older LS1 Camaro or TA or an older Impala SS w/ an LT1. When I was 18-20 I opted for a Grand National. Although not exactly cheap, you can find good deals on them if you look. They have a good aftermarket, room for 4, and insurance insures them as if they were a Regal. There is also the 3.8 SC vehicles like the GTP and Regal GS. All these vehicles have good aftermarket support.

You can get the G8 with a 6.0. It goes 0-60 in 5 seconds. Roomy inside. 6 speed tranny.

I plan on buying one within the next year. Technically it would be my wife's new car. Do you think she would notice if I installed a procharger on it? HAHA
