I travel quite a bit so I have been thinking about a G35 coupe for longer drives. It looks like u can have a 2-3 yrs old used w/ less than 50K miles anywhere between 13-20K miles!

Cool

08 Corvette Z06. I've even half convinced the wife that it's a good purchase for our "dates".

An American SUV of some sort. It's time to support the Big three and replace my 11 yr old Expedition. Either that or a 3 series diesel for the wife. I wish they sold the wagon here.

hmmm. The 335 was the car I wanted.

But I guess, I would take a few year old Aston Martin with a v12. There are a few around for a decent price. Or maybe an older Ferrari. Something exotic and rare.

Id love an X6 for weekend trips and tune the 335 for the track. Thats not going to happen though.

Thinking of an X5 xDrive 35d to replace my ML63.... but we'll see if I can live with the lazy diesel throttle response and step-down in power. I'm trying to be more environmentally responsible.

I'm in line for an R8 V10 as long as the price doesn't creep to close to $200k. $160k nicely optioned would be reasonable enough. If that's not the case, I'll go for the refreshed 997 Turbo with PDK or maybe go back to 6MT.

I'm going to try to convince my mom to get an A5. The lease on her car ends next month.



A G37 coupe would probably be another option.

This is the car I'm looking at now, a 2009 Cadillac CTS. 22" rims needed, not optional.
