the GT is a much newer car and has a fresher looking interior. i love when the dials turn when you start the engine. i've also noticed on my dads 04 liberty that when driving in his undercover carpark the dials are all lit up, though i doubt the dashboard is the most valid reason for buying another car.

is the GTB a grey import? would there be anything you could/would remove from your current car to put on it?

would you want to sell your rims? or swap them with my 16's and a bit of cash (o:

october isn't too far away, and if it doesn't hurt you financially, go for the GT.

i say go the GTB

bit rarer as well

but also check insurance costs too

damn mickey thats a tough one..

soo many differences... single/twin, strong gearbox/average gearbox
id drive them both and decide then.
just think you too could have a ghetto exhaust, hahaha

id probably take the GTB myself, all the rareties and bilstein goodness

The only GT I'd go for is the STi. Handling in the standard GT is pretty similar to a regular 3.0R but with a 2 litre turb.That's why I went for the Spec B.

You probably already know this but over the standard GT it has 2 differences. A great suspension set-up (for a stock car) done by Blistein and awesome looking 18" alloys which I get looks about all the time.

Insurance is about a third of the price of a turbo, you are getting a brand new car and you can pick up your car now! Well they are hard to get, but I doubt you'll be waiting til October.

My 2 cents......

Both unreal cars.

But 2 big choices, newer, almost always better and nicer.
Gen3, rare, looks hot, harder to resell as they are unknown.

GTB FOR SURE! are you nuts? so much more unique!

i would of thought the GT's would? as they aren't imports and would attract more buyers as they are more well known?

Aus delivered cars will hold there value much better.

But at the end of the day I am not really looking forward to resale, as I will have it for a while.
I want something that has power, and have plenty of room for my snowboard stuff.

As you probably know Gen 4's are much smaller and less ergonomic inside than Gen 3. Gen 3 will also hold its purchased value much better. I say go for the Gen 3.

I really can't see why a 3G would hold its value better than a 4G. The GT-B's being TT wagons that were never sold here new will be unique so they would command a small premium over a 2.5 RX wagon but I cant see say a B4 keeping its' value in relative terms over a 4G GT, irrespective of its apparent greater interior room. Remeber that for most people, arranging insurance for an import can be more costly and this does negate the value somewhat.

The 4G looks even classier inside and out and the styling is excellent-one of the best looking sedans on the market irrespective of price. That's not to say the 3G is bad (I am currently looking for a B4 myself..), but in most respects the 4G is an improvement, even if the Bilstein equipped B4 or GT-B does handle better than the mushy Oz spec 4G GT.

I said - hold its purchased value. So, a $55,000 car will loose approx $20,000 within the first year or two, whereas a $30,000 car will loose approx $5,000 within the same period of time. Obviously, the $30,000 car will also cost less to start with.

I misinterpreted the context of depreciation you were using. I do know that much of a car's depreciation occurs early on.

thing is he wants a GENUINE one. not a conversion. gotta get the feel of the car.

Do the back seats fold down in the new GT sedans??
