Haven’t bought a 2019 model but....Bought a new to me Fcar (360) in 2019. In a strange twist/set of just right circumstances....I traded it on a 458 Italia a week later
Maybe an F-150 later this year

I don’t like the depreciation hit you have to take on new cars but in a few years that E63 S AMG wagon will be on my radar.

Lease is up on our family hauler - the X5
Wife loves that truck so guessing we’ll be getting the new for 2019 model.
Saw it at the dealer last week and it is awfully nice
Other option is the X3 M40i which is awesome but might be a bit tight with 2 little ones in tow most days.

My 2001 Toyota Highlander is going to be retired sometime this year......it will be replaced with another Toyota, most likely a 2019 RAV4.

2020 Corvette or ZL1 Convertible. Waiting to see price point on new Corvette. Hopefully it is within 20% of the existing model.

That Jeep Cherokee with 700+ HP looks crazy. Really like what Aston Martin is doing. Pretty sure my car will be a MB GLC 63S.

I waited over a year to buy a "mid-size" truck until I could assess the Ranger. I'll probably go with the GMC Canyon Denali diesel. Rangers look real good though.

Be sure to read the reviews on the Ranger. They have not been kind so far.

Traded my '17 Targa 4S on an incoming '19 991.2 C4 cab. 993s and 991s are my favorite 911s and the 992 doesn't seem like worth waiting for the MT.

I drove that new BMW coupe and was not blown away. Huge on the outside and tiny on the inside.

I have a 991.2 Targa GTS coming end of April.

Haven't had a truck for a few years so thinking a Raptor later this year. Just hate sinking that much into a truck to rip it apart and redo all the suspension, tires, wheels, fenders, bumpers, etc.

Rarely buy new vehicles. Hate the immediate depreciation and I'm kinda of a throw back guy anyway.

In the next few months I'll be selling off the Lincoln Town Car and the 74 Dodge Power Wagon (Pristine) and getting a 63 Dodge Dart four door with a slant six a push button auto and A/C.

Need highway glider car as the jeep and 4x4 camping van don't fit well when I have to go into the city for treatments.

So if you see an old surfer looking guy in a Hawaiian shirt in an old Dodge Dart wearing A SS Daytona. Wave hello.

Love that one, my first choice, it's not suitable for Dutch parking spots due to its size so it will be hopeless to use around here

That nailed it with the new accords.

Really great cars. Great looking and just top quality. Enjoy.

I'm not a big car guy. I like looking at them and knowing the stats but I spend money elsewhere. Plus I cant afford supercars.

Great car. Had a lot of fun but wanted to go back to a full cabriolet. Really disliked having to be stopped to put the Targa top up and down. Even with SmartTOP, I think you can only go around 4mph when top moving. I had a couple 981 Boxsters and like the idea of being able to put the top up or down up to 30mph.
I also went down to a base (370 HP) car - the Powerkit was overkill for me, at least on the street. Pete Stout's write up on Rennlist convinced me to try a base model and it's loads of fun in everyday driving.
Congrats. There aren't a lot of them around and the top trick always gets smiles.

Just picked up a new Lexus LC500. It might be the best vehicle in fit, finish and drive that I have ever owned. I have had five MB SL's dating from the early 1990's to 2009. I have owned two BMW 650's and have tried to buy a couple of 911's but just could not pull the trigger when it cam time. We will see how the LC works out over time but I am pleased right now.

Before I get too old, I want something fast and exotic, maybe from Italy. My Porsche Turbo is my everyday car now, and I want something as a weekend fun car; not that the Porsche isn’t fun.
I’m still hunting for a luxury car for Florida home.... we’ll see.

Hey nobody likes losing money on cars, but I have always been a sucker for them.
I'm thinking of swapping my 2 year old FFRR (SE)

The wife wants the same again, but in the UK diesels are taking a hammering (both verbal and financial) and I don't think I can bring myself to pay the extra for the 5l petrol.
will also look at:
RRS
CayenneS
