My three would be:
2008 Lexus GS 460 $52K This would be my weekend car.
2008 Toyota Tundra 4X2 Limited Double Cab 5.7L $35K This would be my work truck.
Then I would take the $13K and put it into my ES 300 (daily driver) to make sure she'll take me to another 313K miles...

1.Ford F350 dually diesel- it will pull anything haul anything and tons of people room also they are easily modded to about 450hp !!
2. Mitusubishi Evo 8 or 9- Recaros,brembos,6 speed,4 door ,4cyl good on gas,and super easy to mod to 450hp !!
3.Lexus LS430 about a 04 or soo (i know the thread says new cars) and this needs no explination !!

For a $100,000, here's the three rides I'll get and why:
1) BMW 535Xi ($51,600) - Weekend use, out of state trips
2) Mazda6 4-Door Sedan ($28,590) - Daily commute to and from work
3) Ford F-150 ($17,350) - Hauling and moving stuff that may not fit in or could damage the prior two cars.

Here's how I would break it up (estimated figures):
1. Dodge Charger SRT8 ($40k) - My baby, and fun car. Very presentable and still badass.
2. Lexus IS250 ($30k) - The beater and commuter. Who said you can't look great in a beater?
3. Ford F250 Crew Cab ($30k) - The work truck, for towing and hauling stuff.

Nissan GT-R for $80k
Keep my Lexus IS350 so I still have $20k left.
If I have to use all $100k to buy new cars without keeping mine then:
Lexus IS350: $41k
BMW 535i: $58k
I still have money to buy a navigation system and do the tinting.

1) Toyota Yaris - This would be my commuter car - to and from work. (15K)
2) Acura MDX - This would pretty much be my grocery getter and everyday car when I'm not cruising to work in the Yaris. Would also be used for long trips and such. (50K)
3) Saturn Sky - Cool lookin' car, it'd pretty much be my weekend car to go cruising in. (30K)
...and those are my choices

I'd prolly get these:
Audi A5 coupe - I believe it goes for approximately 45K.
Ford or Chevy suv for around 40K
Ford or Chevy truck for around 15K
Ahhh.......I'd spend it on more Lexus cars.
An IS coupe for 40K
A GS350 for 44K
Ford truck for 16K

Noticed that you said $100K on three new cars...
I assume you mean not just new to me, but actually new cars!
1) Honda Odyssey: for hauling my beach cruiser, sailing gear, work stuff
$28K out the door for an EX with cloth seats
2) Lexus GS 460: now that it has the new V8 and the 8-speed I could
do this car. Great for a classy night out or a little fun beating-up on
V8 Mustangs. MSRP $56,620, I should be able to get one out the door
for this.
That puts me at about $80K... the pickins are pretty slim for the remaining $20K.
3) Scion xB: what can I say, I like the new ones! Perfect for the
times you don't want to valet the Lexus, and pretty economical,
too. Throw some 20s on it with springs and fuhgedabboudit!

Awesome thread!
Mines would be:
06-IS350- 44k ALL MINES!
08-Highlander-33k family, winter , wifes car, travel
07-toyota camry- 27k smoking car, drive friends, do whatever!
If that was the cast and i had to choose, these three cars would fit perfectly for me for 100k
but in reality. Right now the 06-IS350 is on the list. And a 97 v6 xle-Camry(winter, yr round car). All we need is the wifes, family car now. Which will be a GX470! i cant wait.

a few possiblities:
08 GS450h as a weekend car - $60,000
08 Ford Taurus SEL with NAV as the daily driver - $27,000
And I'll find a older 4Runner 4WD V6 as the Tahoe/surf mobile
08 GS350 AWD with ML and NAV - $52,000
08 Toyota Sienna XLE AWD as the Tahoe mobile - $40,000
And keep the rest and restore my LS400
2001-2003 Ford F250 PSD - $20-30K, don't want the newer PSDs, the 7.3L one is plenty strong
08 IS250 - $38,000
04-08 Prius - anywhere from $20-25K
