Can't argue that. Very good point. I should further qualify my statement as "worst looking" (in my opinion, obviously). It was a terrible deviation from the classic Porsche style that was quickly corrected with the 997. Personally, if I were going for a GT3, I'd throw in the extra bucks for a 997. If I wanted to save bucks with a slightly older model, I'd go for a 993 and get an air-cooled 911 with classic Porsche styling.

I'm quite certain it will be another Honda Accord, but I think it might be awhile before I wear out the one I have.

213000 and counting.

I'm in the same boat. 2 kids under 2-years old. While holding onto my M3, I'm going to see if I can man up and set an example for my wife by my willingness to drive a mini-van. She fought/whined so hard against me getting her a mini-van, so we compromised and I bought her a Lexus RX (largest vehicle she would accept). But, we need a bigger family car. We'll see how strong my own resolve will be regarding the mini-van...

im thinking of a porsche cayman s. My '07 5 series will be paid off soon..I'm keeping it since I have 2 kids but i NEED a weekend car...

Gonna go against the grain here. Getting tired of high dealership service costs and computer controls, ECMs, recalls, electronic this and that... All of it.
As good as my truck is now - when it's someday ready for replacement (as of my mood right now) I just want to get a nice old jeep. Simple, easy to maintain and diagnose or repair if necessary. All parts are available and relatively inexpensive.
Kind of a relief really.

I will buy a Lexus Ct 200H for daily beater and a Toyota highlander Hybrid for the out of towns.. I have lost my love for all German cars. I have had Benz, Audi (OMG dont get me started) Porsche (Current weekender) and BMW (Z4 daily) I guess im getting older. I want comfort now. Both the 911 and the Z4 just juggles my gels.

This thread makes me want a new car.

2014 BMW 335 xi.....ooooor a "softly used' 2010 BMW M3. I am currently trying to convince myself to drive my VW GTi into the ground before making a new car purchase

[ralfcom]

Those M package air intakes look great on your car!

Well my BMW 750li lease was up and just got back from dealer. I decided to buy vs. lease a 2012 Audi A8L loaded up. Great finance rate and free Audi Care Plus. The inside of this car is crazy and the features blow my 7 away which isn't an easy feat. Here are a few shots on showroom floor. HAGWE all!

A new A6 or Q7.

I test drove this car a couple of weeks back... The trunk space is tiny and the whole driving experience is boring.

Blasphemy....

Anyway, was contemplating a new car and just picked up another m5, missed my ex M so much and was toying with so many other car's out there.. Almost pulled the trigger on a Panamera GTS, but this M came up and had to have it (Silverstone on Red)... Now it keeps it's "smaller, big brother company" ;)

May be time to sell the RUF GT2 however , looking into Scuderia's... Anyone with a Scud, who actually drives it hard? (i'm sure i'll have to resort to my car forum's for this) ah well

I really like the CJ's...

Bought a JK as a 3rd vehicle in addition to the Acura MDX (family ride for kids) and Jag XFR (for thrills), but ended up driving it so much that I got rid of the Jag. Just no need for something so pricey taking up the garage space. It was liberating, to say the least.

Got her a month ago. I'm very happy!

[stephentross]

I love my 21 year old M5. But I have to sell it when I get my next car which is a 2012 M3. So I am stuck in the middle. :(

Keep the Porsche! The RUF GT2 is an amazing car Scuderias are awesome but a Porsche is something else

Plus, it can be driven hard everyday. Not so sure about the Ferrari...
