    Default VY Berlina, VX Calais, or WH stato??

    They're my options.

    As it stands, My first preference would definately be the VY, then the WH, then the VX. The WH is a little impracticle, being in the city and all, but still an option I suppose.

    All these cars are around my price range so all thats left is to ask you guys for your opinions!

    But wait... There's more!!


    But that's not all!!!

    The series 2 berlinas look a whole lot nicer, but just a matter of finding one for the right price... I love the series 1's anyways so its all good.

    Any other suggestions also welcome. Depending on how much I get for my car I have 13,500-15,000 to play with. Really looking for luxury over sports

    But wait... There's more!!

    I had the same choice last year... VY Berlina or VX Calais... I chose the VX over the VY, with the same choice now, I would go either VX Calais still, or get a VY SS (but those choices are all in the V8 variants).

    So I vote V8 5.7

    Seriously though probably go the VY for resale value.

    Have you looked at a VX S? Or is that a little to much out of the price range?

    My thoughts exactly. Stato has a lot of weight to pull around for a six banger.

    The berlina would be my preference!

    Of all the cars you showed me over MSN, and vice versa, that black VY Berlina was by the nicest. So I think have a hunt around for something like that, with the leather and all that wicked extra stuff!

    There are a couple in my price range, but not really looking at an S

    Ermm and L36 (L67 is the supercharged right?) I suppose if I cant find one for the right price I would, but thats not what I'm too concerned about, either way is ok

    But wait... There's more!!

    I'd go with the VX Calais, mostly because i think they look damn good. Don't bother with a V6 Stato...in the city i can imagine a V6 Stato being a complete PITA.
