Okay Opponauts, here are the rules:

$100k budget

Only 2 cars

They have to be new

Yes, I know many of us would prefer a lot of old cars, but these are the rules. Here is my 2 car garage.

DD: Chevy Volt $27k

Weekend/Autox/Track: Porch-uh Cayman with ceramics and sport suspension $63k

The rest of my budget will go into necessary things for the Cayman like tires, etc.

And Go!

Wasn't kissing ass. Really, if I was in the market for a new car, I'd shop around but something tells me I'd walk away with a 2.

Not a fan of the Stang, but that caterham is a fantastic pick. I may have to rethink the cayman..

Have you driven the 991 base C2?

I have a 997 C2. My Dad's gf has a 991 Carrera Cab

I can't stand her car

I dunno if I'd like it more if it was the lighter coupe

But her car drives my insane. You have to rev the piss out of the downsized 3.4L to get it going

When I drove a current gen Cayman S loaner it felt totally different. That car almost felt like it had too much power.

I think I'd take the Cayman S over the stripper 911

I know I'd be giving up alot, I just need a rear-engine Porsche with rear "seats". The rules of the game were 2 cars, but I'd probably NEVER drive the 2 (or a Carrera S to compare). :-)x

Definitely don't drive the S!

I got to drive the 991 C2S at an AutoX put on by Porsche when the car launched.

Mother of God...

It makes my stripper 997 feel like a kit car

I currently drive this

Kinja'd!!!

and I just think it's the Bee's knees! 2004 Seville SLS. FWD v8, super roomy, enough power for me, just love it. the XTS only build on where they left off with this.

CTS= constantly too small

ATS= Alright, tighter still

The XTS hits all the marks I want in a car. Roomy, AWD, while I enjoy the FWD I wouldn't mind AWD more so in the winter. No use for RWD. It's not a sports car just a big comfy land yacht. Oh yeah! Sorry..

"… I wouldn't mind AWD more so in the winter. No use for RWD. …." I mean ….

Kinja'd!!!

Also its fairly well known its just a stopgap product, and I thought the CTS got bigger with this gen.

2015 Subaru WRX for dd, autocross, and for hauling. ($26-$30k)

2015 Corvette Stingray with z51 package or the new z06/7 depending on pricing for the track and weekends or whenever. ($60-$??k)

Milky > mazdaspeed2
07/10/2014 at 23:23

Thought of this so fast because its perfect. Alfa 4C ($55-70k) & a WRX ($25-34k)

Kinja'd!!!

I'd have to choose between the launch edition of the 4C or the STI, but either way you'd have a fantastic all weather DD with a spectacular sports car.

FalconXR6Turbo > mazdaspeed2
07/10/2014 at 23:25

A Fiesta, base model, maybe with a few trimmings. $15-17k

FPV GT-F. $77k, and the last FPV ever.

Not sure which I'd use as DD, though.

mazdaspeed2 > Milky
07/10/2014 at 23:33

If the 4c came with a stick I would have chosen it..

I know, I know. RWD is fine in a get around town with some snow on the roads sense of things. How ever, I like to travel, alot and in the winter that can't be changed because of snow. Give me a blizzard and I'll still do 400 miles in it. RWD is just not the best choice for such behavior. I've lived it, done and it sucked.period.

Sweet video thanks! I don't car what Matt has to say, I still want it! If anything that video made me want it more! but def would need the turbo! it honestly sounds like the spiritual successor to my car. hell it looks like they laid it out on the inside a lot like it too! Honestly, I know it's weird. I'm weird. I'm 30 years old and bought my dream car. a '04 Seville SLS. not even a STS! I had a '05 RWD v8 STS. HATED IT! sold my '02 SLS for it. that's one of my worst poor life choices. right next to loving 4th/5th gen sevilles. ha Sorry man the XLS just sounds great

and yeah the CTS has gotten bigger but they still feel small on the inside. too sporty, less comfy. more tight and packed in than roomy and flowing. I'm not in it to show off, or flash any thing about. I don;t need a S Class, i want a large comfy car thats as He said over and over is a nice place to be. I love just being in my caddy, it is a nice place to be. sure it's no 5 star suite on the 4 seasons here. it's not the best built or have the best leathers. but it's got really comfy seats, is a hell of a lot more niblle than a 4000lb FWD car should be, has a very nice stero and a sunroof. get out of working my normal 10hour day pulling tech support calls all day, spark up a cig, kick on the XM radio and cruise! it floats but it's not floaty. it cruises at 75 turning 1800rpm's can dart about through traffic with no effort. it's just such a nice place to be.. and to me that's what I invision the XTS is, a modern version of that.
