Someone Gives You 50k And You MUST Buy A New Vehicle. Will It Be A Sportscar, SUV, Truck Or Something ELSE?

When you're on lockdown, you have a LOT more time to think about things. A little TOO much time. And it's inevitable if you're a car person those thoughts may be about the rides you own, you're thinking of buying and the standard I've won the lottery dream car strategy.

So let's give you a little direction and play a game. To keep our edge.

Let's pretend someone gives you $50k and you MUST buy a new vehicle that is out now or will be in dealers by the end of 2020. The 50k can be the going street price of the vehicle, not the full msrp.

So which is it Spies? Are you buying a CAR, a TRUCK, an SUV, a SPORTSCAR or something else? Which IS it and what brand and model...

I would go with the AWD, Long Range Model Y. If the Cybertruck was available, the $50k version of that would be tempting but the Y would be more practical for everyday driving in an urban environment.

Honda Type R, a four door driver's car and when you are in it you don't see exterior.

If it was something available at this exact moment, I'd swap my Niro PHEV for the Niro EV. If it was something available within the next two years, besides the e-Niro I'd be looking at the VW ID.4, the Mach-e Mustang and perhaps the Fisker Ocean.

If I was given $50K USD and HAD to buy something I would get a Toyota Runner TRD Pro. I would also have Crown Rust Proofing (oil based) spray it every year religiously. Army Green is nice but so was the electric blue.

Since we're limited to new, I'd go for the BMW M240ix coupe. I'm guessing a bit of wrangling could get it fully loaded for 50K. It's almost the same size as the first Beamer I bought, a '94 325is. The new one goes a bit quicker though. Next on the list would be a crazy loaded up Mustang.
