What's the one car, no cash limit, that's on sale as of today that you would own?

I'm still gonna have to say the 228i.

I don't care what BMW says, this is more a modern E46 than it is a 2002. It and the E46 are within inches of the same size, and a mere 100 lbs of weight difference. And frankly, I think it's more attractive than the E46.

I'm seriously considering picking up one of these used in a few years.

These things might be getting up in age, but they look as new now as they did when they came out.

I'm really glad they fixed those headlights on the US models. Those ruined the the front end for me.

Yep. Once I saw it in person, I knew I had to have one.

Yeah, the A5 in general has been around for some time, but Audi somehow manages to keep it fresh.

Either the Viper or the Vanquish.

Chevy SS, but I think it would be worth waiting a year for manual and magnetic suspension options.

I'd like a 2 series in a few years as well. But, if I had the money I would go strait for one of these.

FR-S/BRZ twins. I love them, but I'm getting one for my daughter, not myself. Damn, I really am an adult now, huh?

It's so elegantly simple it really doesn't age.

Crazy V10 beast, or elegant V12 sex. Tough choice.

I finally saw one of these on the road the other day, pictures don't do it justice.

Agreed.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > BeaterGT

Not a fan of the new P1 nosed 650S either?

Where have all the lightweights gone? > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
05/12/2014 at 16:54

Agreed. They look anonymous from a distance and beastly up close. The want is very strong with this one!

It's a toss-up between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe (R or V6S, I don't mind), or the Alfa 4C GTA.

When the hotter 4C comes out hopefully next year and Maserati makes their 2-door coupe, it'll be a much harder decision.

I'm actually surprised this is the first time the F-Type has been mentioned.

Viper really seems to be a common choice. Oppo must be the secret Viper lovers club.

Another cars that I'm surprised has only been mentioned once.

I still want to know how they made a little 4-cylinder sound so good.

I am hopefully getting an X19, I can't wait for the new spider to come out.

I am; just not on the same level as the MP4.

EL_ULY > Logansteno: Bought a VW?

BADASS level is off the charts even if there are quicker cars available

Yup, I've officially decided Oppo is a secret Viper lover's club. That's been the most popular answer by far!

Hey dude, i've been working on cars from a little gas station service center in south Texas to multi-master at high end dealerships. Those are city miles :] I'm only now getting use to computers (parts department). Oh well, cleaner hands and more OPPO for me :]

05/12/2014 at 17:47

I'd take one too! Local dealer's got one optioned with all the stuff I want: Recaros and Molten Orange paint.

Brian Silvestro > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
05/12/2014 at 17:50

It's because everyone here already has one.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Brian Silvestro
05/12/2014 at 17:51

This is true. I feel like I'm the only one without one of the ST brothers.

Vince-The Roadside Mechanic > EL_ULY
05/12/2014 at 17:51

You aren't old I am younger but you aren't old. MORE OPPO!!! Then you can read my upcoming series of stories of trying to deal with a stubborn Italian.

I don't really like the new 3er (F30), but love the 2 series... Favorite BMW is by far the 1 series 3 door hatch (that we don't get in the states).

Favorite car on sale? I'll have to get back to you on that one...

I am very much not on the Viper bandwagon. I thought they were cool until I got a ride in one. My friend used to have a '96 GTS and it's claustrophobic as fuck in there. No thanks.

So instead I'll keep it in the same general ballpark...

I am afraid that alfa will upgrade it and then you find yourself with a less alfa version, especially since now they plan to return hardcore to their roots. I think the 2nd or 3rd generation of this will give Porsche a run for its money.
