European two car garage

I was trying to think of two European cars I'd own, and I think I've figured it out, but I want to see yours.

Rules:

Keep them under $100k each.

Must be available in your country.

Must be new.

Here's mine:

Audi RS5 - ~$77k

Range Rover Sport Supercharged - ~$95k

I thought about an F-Type instead of an RS5, but then it'd be British only and that's no fun.

Also, no, the ST twins don't count just because they were developed in Europe.

Do they have to be new?

Audi S7 & regular Range Rover Supercharged. Unless I can go a little more expensive. Then S8 and RR Autobiography/Merc G550.

The Range Rover was for sure for me, but the second choice was really hard.

It started as an S7, then went to an M3, then an XFR, then an F-Type, then I settled on an RS5.

4C isn't stateside yet, but it's close enough to being released here it counts.

Plus I think the Maserati is over $100k.

BMW 3 series estate diesel as a DD and a Golf R (cheated a bit, would be slightly over 100k USD I guess) as a weekendcar.

Dat Volvo.

I'm thinking Porsche 911S, and then a Panamara for hauling

How so? Both seem pretty damn exciting to me.

I'd hope neither 3-series diesel or a Golf R would cost over $100K each...

That 911 would be a stripper model for sure!

True, but that's all I need. Stick, and the better engine

You've got that lives-in-Europe advantage to get that awesome Benz.

it is

the model i want/built is $172,575

hehe so expensive

Neither car is exemplary. IF you are talking SUVs, there is the X5M, Cayenne, big Range Rover, the GL are all likely superior to the RRSport and its fake sporting habits. If you are talking coupes, C63 AMG coupe, M4, FType Coupe - R, and Cayman GTS or 991.

Oh well.

I could list reasons why I'd not pick those cars over these two, but that's a lot of typing.

In that case:

Used: '72 Porsche 911E & VW Syncro Doka, keep the change.

New: XFR-S, $99k

Kinja'd!!!

Cayman S, in Sapphire Blue, with PCCB & some other choice bits, $86k, because why not?

Kinja'd!!!

This is the only answer. Also you stole my answer.

Porsche Cayman S, specifically the one I just configured, and a Jaguar XFR.

Porsche Macan Turbo

Kinja'd!!!

And since you already picked the RS5, and the Macan is my practical/winter vehicle, I think I'll go with the M4.

PushToStart > heliochrome85
08/01/2014 at 21:11

Yup, Cayman was a must. Probably my favorite current Porsche, and bonus points because it's somewhat obtainable. I figured my second car should be something more practical, so the M5 seemed to be a good choice, although Volvo has some good options too.

I almost chose the M4, but then I remembered the RS5 existed.
