At lunch and thought of something. If money was no object, but you could only buy from one auto manufacturer for the rest of your life, which manufacturer would you choose?

My gut reaction is of course Ferrari. But, if I needed a family hauler, I’d be SOL. The GTC4Lusso would work ok, but I would like something bigger. Porsche would be the obvious, but a little too plain. So, I would pick Lamborghini, so long as they actually make that new SUV. No sedan options, but I could see two two-seaters and an SUV working out ok.

plus

So Oppo, what would you choose and why?

Since you said manufacturer and not brand. I’m going to say VW. So I can get everything from a Polo to a Lamborghini “fuck you”

Really there is no other answer. Porsche has all vehicle options covered. My question is does this rule apply to older cars as well? no matter, still doesn’t change my answer.

I think you mean VAG, VW is still a brand.

The answer is so obvious but I sort of view them as the Toyota of the exotic-ish world. I need to always wonder if my car is going to catch on fire today. haha

Audi could be a close 2nd with the A3-R8 range

If GM counts as a brand, I’d go with that. It’s got everything.

If not, Chevrolet because to get variety it’s either that or Ford... and I’m too stubborn to go with Ford. I can bring myself to give them credit where it’s due, I can’t commit to owning their products exclusively.

All years are allowed. So I could also get this if I needed an SUV:

Audi and BMW could be good options comparatively to Porsche.

SUV

small SUV

small wagon 328ix

roadster

hybrid vehicles

Are we counting subsidiary companies as well? If so, Toyota. If not, BMW

I was thinking more this. This is the current car at the top of my wishlist.

I meant it as Chevy or Audi. Not GM or VAG.

Chevy would be a good place to be. Tons of variety with great sports cars in the stable

Lancia, because you only need one car anyways, right?

Ideally not. If we were, I’d do FCA. Try to stick to one brand

Porsche.

CobraJoe > SPAMBot - Horse Doctor 10/27/2017 at 15:40

Honestly, I’d probably pick Ford, especially if you start considering older models as well.

You’d have everything from tiny compacts to classic Muscle cars to full size sedans to trucks to hot hatches to supercars, even unique euro cars like the Capri. Heck, if you throw in sub-brands you can include stuff from Merkur and Edsel and a few years of Jaguar and Volvo.

And if money is no object, you can have someone build you a SHOgun or a replica of the mid engine mustang concept, or even that GN34 prototype that never go built.

This is the correct answer.

I’d go Porsche, but Mercedes and Jaguar would be interesting options.

I think I would enjoy this more than Porsche. Their Sports cars are slightly less hardcore, but they have more V12's available. That would be a requirement for me haha

SPAMBot - Horse Doctor > R Saldana [|Oo|======|oO|] - BTC/ETH/LTC Prophet 10/27/2017 at 15:41

Mercedes as well. Plus that magical Bi-Turbo V12

IDK, probably Porsche. I’d gladly daily a 718 Cayman (base model w/ metallic paint added on) and then get a Macan for carrying passengers and cargo.

SPAMBot - Horse Doctor > Thomas Donohue 10/27/2017 at 15:43

I didn’t even think of Jag! That would be an interesting option.

Older cars count but sub brands do not. Still, Ford has a ton of variety. You would never be bored

Well, one running car hahah. Old cars count as well

Ford, lots of A+ material over the years, cheap, common

If I went the Porsche route, I’d do the new Panamera Sport Turismo (DD), GT3 (weekends), and Cayenne for big car stuff

SPAMBot - Horse Doctor > CarsofFortLangley - Oppo Forever 10/27/2017 at 15:50

There are so many options. From the Model T to the GT! You would never be bored haha

If that “money is no problem” counts towards customs too, I’d go crazy. So many possibilities!

If we can just choose ‘manufacturers’, I’ll go with Fiat.

Abarth , Alfa Romeo , Chrysler , Dodge , Fiat , Ferrari , Jeep , Lancia , Maserati .

That covers .

But if you mean just one brand, Porsche... but only if these cars count as Porsches:

Namely the ones in the background. Porsche’s diversity comes from the fact that they are also a tuner - hence the Audi, Mercedes and VW pictured.

But going from that angle, I could even argue for Lotus.

There’s the Sunbeam, Cortina, Carlton and even Isuzu Piazza - and if we’re going to get technical, here’s your Lotus SUV .

So, Porsche or Lotus I guess.

If money was no object I can pay other people to drive practical vehicles for me when I need to.

So...McLaren. I’m sure I can put winter tires on a P1.

It has to wear the Porsche badge. So there would only be one Porsche in your picture

The RS2 has Porsche’s name on its badge, though.

Citroen. So many beautiful old cars and, allegedly, some good new ones too.

In my defense, it’s much more expensive than it sounds. The average NSX-R price is around $150,000. If anyone is even willing to sell one.

I did not know that! TIL. I’ll allow it, only because I like the car. haha

You’re not far off. Both R’s for sale on Goo-Net are over $200k right now. And neither is even importable yet. I’m curious to see what a 1992 model is going for right now.

If the RS2 counts I’m allowing the 500E too, that car was basically all Porsche’s work underneath.

And the VW van, that’s even branded as a Porsche. It’s the Porsche B32 .

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Even those Isuzus I mentioned had ‘Handling by Lotus’ badges, so both options work for me.

I require both fast cars and tough SUVs, plus, if money is truly no object, cool classics, and I love Ze Germans, so I guess the answer has to be Benz.

Imma have to say Audi, because we’re currently shopping for something with 7+ seats and afaik Porsche doesn’t make anything like that.

I like the idea of renting other brands to get around the limit (lease a minivan, own a Ferrari). Not sure how much that would change my vote though.

Audi has a good range. And I would definitely important an RS6 wagon haha

Handling by lotus seems too close to the body by maserati k car for my tastes haha

Buy now and then keep in Japanese storage until the cut-off date for importation

At least the Isuzus were still built in Japan. Lotus just sorted out the handling.

Mercedes, they make almost every kind of vehicle and they do it fairly well.

AMG GT, G63, C63S, S65, E400 wagon...
