It's That Time Again....Guess What I Bought This Time

[Frisky Dingo]

Over the years, I have done many of these now, especially with those among us who came over from MT. So, staying true to tradition, let's hear some guesses on what made it into the Frisky household this time.

 

I'll start off with ONE hint- It's used.

[ccap41]

I'll start off with an easy one.. another 335i (E90)

[Frisky Dingo]

Very good guess, and while I did actually try to buy another one recently, someone beat me to it. 

 

So, not a 335i.

[ccap41]

Dang, I knew you loved that car. I thought maybe you got the itch and went back fo' mo'!  

 

hmmm.. All we got so far is that it's used.. 

[Cmicasa the Great]

the sweetest compact entry of them all.... an ATS 3.6L Automatic???  

[G. David Felt]

CTS Coupe 2 year lease returned with low miles.

[Frisky Dingo]

the sweetest compact entry of them all.... an ATS 3.6L Automatic???  

 

 

No, though I saw a gray stick ATS-V sedan yesterday at a dealer, and damn, was it sweet!

 

 

 

 

I'll let the next poster pick the next hint- Would you rather know who the vehicle is for (me or wifey), or if it replaced a vehicle in the house hold.

[cp-the-nerd]

What did it replace?

[Frisky Dingo]

Sadly, the 4Runner is no longer with us.

[oldshurst442]

I was just gonna mention the 4Runner...so Ill go with you replaced it with a GMC Acadia.

[ccap41]

Sadly, the 4Runner is no longer with us.

Didn't you just get that a few/handful of months ago..? That was a sharp lookin' vehicle. 

[Frisky Dingo]

It is not a GM product.

[Frisky Dingo]

 

Sadly, the 4Runner is no longer with us.

Didn't you just get that a few/handful of months ago..? That was a sharp lookin' vehicle. 

 

 

Yeah, back in May of last year. And worse, I just put a 3" lift and 33's on it back in November. It had to go, though. We are moving to STL in a few weeks, and the size, gas mileage, and practicality are just unacceptable for a city vehicle. I hated to let it go, but it had to be done. Hopefully I can pick up an older FJ in the future as a dedicated off-road toy.

Whoa, few things.

 

Do you have any pics of it lifted with 33's ?

 

Moving to STL????? Will you actually be downtown or where at-ish? (If you don't mind me asking.) I work downtown but live in IL. 

 

Smart. You're getting a Smart car. Ya know, for all that inner city stuff. But not any Smart car... A Brabus Smart! 

 

Or maybe an Abarth...

(I know it isn't an Abarth.. It's a Gucci edition..but I thought I had an Abarth saved on my photobucket account and apparently I was wrong but this'll do). 

[Frisky Dingo]

Going to be staying in the Ballwin area. Working on Manchester Rd somewhere. Wife got an awesome offer from St Luke's Hospital we can't pass up. I'll see if can dig up a pic or two.

 

 

Also, not a small car of any kind.

[cp-the-nerd]

A new model Chevy Malibu.

[oldshurst442]

A Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.

[G. David Felt]

A new model Chevy Malibu.

He said it was NOT a GM auto.

 

How about Camry Hybrid?

[Frisky Dingo]

A Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.

 

 

Would be awesome, but no. I needed better gas mileage, not worse, lol.

 

A new model Chevy Malibu.

He said it was NOT a GM auto.

 

How about Camry Hybrid?

 

 

Tis not a Camry, or an I4.

[G. David Felt]

Is this a Family based auto or more of a personal inner city transport option?

 

2 doors, 3 doors, 4 doors, or 5 doors?

 

Is it Asian, American or European company?

[ccap41]

Swing and a miss cp!

It will serve as primary family transportation for the time being. So more than 2/3 doors.  It is NOT European.

 

So-

 

-More than 2/3 doors.

-Used.

-Not an I4.

-Not Euro.

-Not a compact car.

-Replaced the 4Runner.

-Primarily for wife.

I want to stick to BMW for some reason.. M3 this time around. Somebody beat you to the 335i so you said "screw it" and found an M3 to your liking instead. That's what happened. M3. 

 

Edit: Oh shoot, big swing and a miss..

 

You also said it was not a GM. 

 

I also assumed it was for you. This is harder thinking about a non-enthusiast's car. 

 

Ford Edge?

It was listed in one of the last 3 posts.

[oldshurst442]

I was gonna say Lincoln MKX next, but since it was mentioned already, Im sticking to my choice of Ford Flex.

 

EDIT:

If it was the Flex, you woulda said bingo.

 

Nissan Murano.

It is the only one on that long list that isn't an I4(other than the highlander but I assume he didn't get rid of his to get a hybrid model).

 

I'm sticking to my guns even though I no loner have a good feeling about it, lol. JGC, FTW. 

 

Edit:

I'll go ahead and ask what hear JGC..?   (got cocky after saying it wasn't a Nissan  ) 

Edited January 20, 2016 by ccap41

[Frisky Dingo]

While I am a fan of the current GC, that's not what I got. And it's not a Highlander, either.

Yes I did try, I went with those models that have an I4. He never said only had that engine. Gotta scale it down to the right zone and I believe he got an Asian built CUV.

[ccap41]

SHOOT! Flex it is, right? ...Or Santa Fe(non-sport) with the 3.3...?  I think those are the only two that don't have 4cyls. 

[G. David Felt]

OK, Reread and realize he said does not have an I4, so we are V6 engines and now that I have realized that then I agree with CCAP.

 

Ford Flex or Santa Fe.

[Frisky Dingo]

It IS Asian.

[G. David Felt]

OK, so then I go with Santa Fe.

[Frisky Dingo]

Not a Santa Fe.

[Cmicasa the Great]

It is not a GM product.

 

 

I'm out.. later

Just messin... Grand Cherokee

[Frisky Dingo]

Man, this one is giving you guys fits, lol. What I bought is a pretty overlooked model. Some may not even know about it at all.

[G. David Felt]

Kia Sportage

[Cmicasa the Great]

Is it still on the market? If yes.. a Volvo or something? They are pretty invisible IMO

[Frisky Dingo]

It's Japanese. AWD/4WD. V6.

[ccap41]

Ahhhhh that makes more sense then. That is where the miscommunication was lol. 

[oldshurst442]

Toyota HIGHLANDER.

 

Toyota replaces Toyota.

[ccap41]

Toyota HIGHLANDER.

 

Toyota replaces Toyota.

He already said it wasn't a Highlander, I believe. 

 

Yeah, post 33.

 

Well, Olds... He still hasn't said "No" to the Ford Flex yet.

Edited January 20, 2016 by ccap41

[oldshurst442]

He said it was Japanese though.

[Frisky Dingo]

Not a Flex. It's a Japanese V6 AWD/4WD.

[ccap41]

He said it was Japanese though.

$h!. lol 

Holy $h!. I didn't realize they made a V6 Rav4!. THAT IT!
