Four vehicle garage tonight. The first vehicle must be from a brand you currently own. After that, the next brands must be   alphabetical neighbors to your chosen vehicle and on the list provided below. All vehicles must be from the 2017, 2018, or upcoming 2019 model years (unless you own something not on this list).

Acura

Alfa Romeo

Aston Martin

Audi

Bentley

BMW

Buick

Cadillac

Chevrolet

Chrysler

Dodge

Ferrari

Fiat

Ford

Genesis

GMC

Honda

Hyundai

Infiniti

Jaguar

Jeep

Kia

Lamborghini

Land Rover

Lexus

Lincoln

Lotus

Maserati

Mazda

McLaren

Mercedes

Mini

Mitsubishi

Nissan

Porsche

Ram

Rolls Royce

Smart

Subaru

Tesla

Toyota

Volkswagen

Volvo

*Note that not all brands currently sold in the US are listed. Just the major ones.

If you own a vehicle from a brand not on this list (anything discountinued, extremely exotic, not offered in the US, or not currently a passenger car brand) then you get to pick any vehicle from that unlisted brand. After that, use the list above to complete your garage using 2017, 2018, or upcoming 2019 model year offerings. So if you own a Renault then you can pick anything from them but after that your next choices would be from either Ram and/or Rolls Royce. If you want to use your Harley-Davidson then the next vehicles must be new from GMC and/or Honda.

This is actually what I’ve been doing for my real garage (see, I am as weird in real life as I am online). Right now I have a Kia, a Jaguar, and a Jeep so my next vehicle would need to be either a Lamborghini or an Infiniti. Place your bets on which of those is next. Give this a try and as always, enjoy yo’selves!

Have a Fiat Abarth.

Lets add a Ferrari GTC4Lusso, a Focus RS, and I feel like I should probably add a Ford truck or something so I can tow the other shit around. Or Dodge truck if I’m not getting the directions clearly!

So if I’m doing this right...

Current vehicle: 2016 Toyota Prius Three, in Hypersonic/Emotional Red

First vehicle: 2017 Toyota Prius A (roughly equivalent to the US-spec Three trim) E-Four, in Thermo-Tect Lime Green (you didn’t say that the choices had to be US market):

Second vehicle: 2018 Tesla Model 3 (and a sawzall to give it the liftback it so deserves)

Third vehicle: 2017 Toyota i-Road (you didn’t say it had to be a car either)

Fourth vehicle: The rumored 2019 Tesla Roadster/Model R/whatever the hell it gets called - here’s some bullshit rendering someone came up with:

I didn’t really want anything Subaru had to offer, and I definitely didn’t want a Smart or a Volkswagen, hence the bouncing back and forth.

And now I’ll do this off of my Miata.

Current vehicle: 2000 Mazda Miata LS

First vehicle: 2017 Mazda Miata RF Club (I think the photo’s of a Grand Touring, but whatever):

Second vehicle: So this is tricky - I don’t particularly want anything from Maserati, Lotus would be a bit redundant, and I don’t care for anything from Lincoln, so I guess I’m going the other direction. 2017(ish?) McLaren P1 LM (but not in this color):

Third vehicle: Roadtrek CS Adventurous (which is just a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter)... with a PHEV powertrain. Also, remove the entire propane system, and run everything off of electric, using the main ICE for generation if necessary. If it doesn’t happen by 2019, I guess I’ll take the diesel, but...

Fourth vehicle: Mini Cooper S E Countryman ALL4, because I need something that isn’t full of upfitting, a supercar, or a sports car, as a daily. I’d really rather have a Clubman, but hey...

DC3 LS, will be perpetually replacing cars until the end of time > Wobbles the Mind 04/30/2017 at 23:27

New models huh... Also lack of French brands, Saab and Lancia irks me.

Still, this should be fun.

BMW M2, for driving fun.

And now GM products, riiight.

Buick Vauxhall Estate, because it’s a Roadmaster if you squint.

Cadillac ATS-V, because it’s a Grand National if you really squint.

And a Chevrolet SS, because 2017 is not over yet damnit.

But I could argue that those brands are not available in my home market so...

...Citroën! Much more common than the above brands around here.

Going for the C5, on its last year, for its signature suspension.

Good news! It’s the new Dacia Duster. It better get good crash test scores.

Ferrari (I win). TheFerrari is tempting, but the F12 tdf is the package.

So, a much better selection when going by what’s available over here. Good thing Daihatsu pulled out of the UK in time for me to choose a Ferrari for this challenge.
