What are you getting next?

BlackjackMulligan · 06-03-2009, 01:41 PM

I don't know if you guys are crazy like me but I only typically keep my cars 2-3 years. So I'm always thinking of the next best thing that will be sitting in my driveway. Right now the cars that have caught my eye:

2011 BMW Z4
2011 Porsche Boxster (will I return??)

And strangely:

2008 Corvette convertible (used)
2011 Mustang GT convertible
2011 Chevy Camaro convertible

dunno why but I'm being drawn to one of these muscle cars to own for a couple of years.

When my Caddy lease is up in February I'm getting a new Jeep Wrangler. My wife will have her 2008 MDX for the forseeable future.

What are you all looking at?

xantdieselx · 06-03-2009, 02:07 PM

Audi S5
Audi TTS
335xi w/ DCT

Then again I don't know. I'm usually like you and get the itch for a new car every couple of years. None of the cars above are any faster than my 135i or handle any better. They are all awd so it may save some headaches in the winter. But I have to ask myself "Is it really worth it?". I haven't answered that question yet.

If the economy ever picks up I would kill to replace my (daily driver) 540i wagon with an X6 50i

Love the S5. I was very close to buying a TT roadster when I got my 1er but you can only get the stupid DSG transmission. Good tranny but I'll row my own thanks very much. TTS only comes with DSG as well AFAIK. 335xi is fun but I don't love the interior.

My lease is up in 2011. Depending on what the 1er will look like, I am still set on an '09 or '10 used M3 coupe. But, alot can change by then!

randomquickness · 06-03-2009, 08:39 PM

i will prob hold on to mine for a while but my guess for in a few years would be a slightly used 911 turbo

bluemoon · 06-03-2009, 09:25 PM

Currently on the lookout for a 2004 996 GT3 for the track.

And no, that is not me. That is the sales guy. He was excited. He was new. Oh, and he isn't a short guy, the truck is just huge, its seriously jacked up, its towers over normal trucks because this one is an FX4.
