10 years ago, my wife (friend at the time) certainly got my attention telling me this was her dream to drive.....

Panther Pink HemiCuda.

Agreed.

Really cool rides survive pink.

When I started dating my wife, her dream car was a 3000GT. Now it is this in TT variety...

I was hoping to be able to buy her one for our 10th anniversary...but that came and went. Maybe I'll shoot for 15th anniversary.

Subaru Impreza. She literally doesn't want to talk about getting anything except a Subaru. Not that I mind. But I'd like to get an Audi instead...

Single at the moment, but my ex liked 'large' cars. SUVs mostly. Bigger was better. Her daily driver didn't (and doesn't) resemble this, but that soul sucking silver ~2000 Corolla hatch was dreadful on its own. As you can tell I'm not sad it's over between us.

My wife hates trucks, hates old cars, hates projects, hates a high seating position, hates low gas mileage, and hates going off road.

Yet for whatever reason her dream car is a first gen Bronco. The female mind is unfathomable.

Oh well, if we are going dream dream...then my wife wants a Bugatti Veyron. First time she saw one online (or it may have been on Top Gear), she fell in love with it.

I remember that car when new. My relatives own a VW/MB franchise, and my cousin drove one.

I had a Challenger SRT8 in Hemi Orange and my wife never let me hear the end of it that I should of bought it in purple.

after a couple of months I realized that purple was actually a much nicer color than orange.

Her tastes are slightly off from mine, but loving an insane Lambo named after the devil himself can't be a bad thing, right? (Yes, I know about the bulls)

Wife's dream car:

We already owned it. Without a warranty. We got too scared that something big would fail so we got rid of it. But I facilitated it and even traded my 2011 5.0 Mustang in on it. Really enjoyed it for the time we had it, but in the end the 4-door Jeep we bought did a lot of the same "drive over shit" stuff this did, just not as comfortably.

Well, my wife's first car was a 510, so if a vintage Bluebird showed up after I win the lottery, I'm sure she wouldn't mind...

She loved her old Festiva, so I could get her a couple of them with the change in my ashtray.

I'm certain that if an Abarth or Miata mysteriously appeared, she'd be damn happy.

Nice.

Mine has an AWD CX-9 right now, which is perfect for our family around town and on trips and has given us 125k great miles so far. Hope to take it to 200 or 250k before we move on.

I'm just glad she's not opposed to me having a fun car and getting out and using it.

My badass wife wants a Datsun 510 wagon.

Right now, we're in the market for a cheap truck (want to do Datsun for that too, but they're a bit more pricey than, say, a late 80's - early 90's Ford Ranger, or so it would seem).

My wife, like a lot of wives I'm sure, wants a Range Rover Sport. I tell her that I hope she likes sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tow-truck. Right now she is happy with her little Scion though. I'm hoping to convince her to get a Camaro SS when it's time to upgrade, would go well with my Challenger R/T.

After years of driving fairly boring cars of nondescript colors (Chevy Citation, Dodge Omni, Saturn Somethingorother, Toyota Camry, Honda Civic Sedan, my wife bought her a beautiful 2014 Mazda 6 GT. Of the colors offered, she only considered black and red. Once she saw the red one, that's the one she had to have. Before she bought it though, she asked me; "Do you think a 60 year old woman should drive a red car?"

What's really funny about my wife's automotive history is that in the early '80's she was driving a late '60's Nova SS 350. Blue with white stripes. She now knows what she had, and wishes she still had it.
