Dream Garage: Premium Edition

Let’s see how you do with this one. Two vehicle garage. One vehicle must be from a German Premium Brand while the other must be from a Japanese Premium Brand. Of course, there are catches:

The German Premium Vehicle must be on sale right now by the manufacturer and utilize a naturally aspirated engine. Audi R8 is not allowed!!!

The Japanese Premium Vehicle must be from model years 2010 to 2015 and utilize a stock forced induction system.

Bonus : You can have a third vehicle, but it must have a glove compartment that is opened with the press of a button. No levers allowed!

Have fun and good night Oppo! Remember that tomorrow is National Goof Off Day , so don’t do anything differently!

Boxster GT4

is there any premium japanese brand that utilized forced induction during those times? I’m coming up blank...

Well my car has a press-button glovebox, so I’ll keep that as my bonus third car. The German will be a 911 4S Targa and the Japanese will be an Acura RDX because that’s the only non-GTR I can think of that has forced induction.

Can’t edit, guessing the GT-R doesn’t count.

Hint: Think compacts, especially crossovers. There may be a sedan in there though...

So the bonus car is a Fiskar.

The Japanese one is not a Lexus, an infinti, Or the new NSX or.... Shit. This year range thing is killing me. What do you define as a premium brand?

And the German one is a E92 M3

oh you ass. (thinking about it, i cant name ONE ‘premium’ japanese car that was boosted from those years.

german: BMW S1000RR. (you never said it had to be 4 wheels)

japanese: the only one I can think of is the lexus Is 200t, which i’m not entirely sure if they actually started dropping the 2.0L T into them in 2015. (just checked on wiki, they started building them in 2015)

There is a small Lexus that got that engine before the IS...just sayin’!

In Europe, Honda and Lexus had turbodiesel versions of the Accord (what we called the 2nd gen TSX) and IS.

If the brand says it’s premium, I take them at their word.

I’m stumped, can’t think of anything.

There was one Acura in the time frame and a Lexus that debuted with a new engine for 2015 MY. I was hoping someone would track down a third car, hence the real goal. It may be just the two.

How about the RC 200t?

I know Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti always refer to themselves as such. If there is a Japanese independent brand I won’t stop you from using it.

Lexus NX200T and a Cayman

Wobbles the Mind > scoob
03/21/2016 at 23:17

Didn’t happen until 2016MY, 2015MY was just the natural 3.5L and the 5.0L I believe. Like the RX, GS, and IS. But there was a brand spanking new vehicle that ushered in the new engine for the 2015MY.

There’s a couple hatches and crossovers and the occasional diesel but none of those are the ones I want. I just want a big sedan or a big coupe.

Wobbles the Mind > djmt1
03/21/2016 at 23:22

The Infiniti 2.0T and 3.0T engines are in 2016MY vehicles, not 2015 (unless you’re in a different market, then you may have just lucked out)!

scoob > Wobbles the Mind
03/21/2016 at 23:22

According to Neil, the NX200t. If that’s the answer, I’ll take it. And a Morgan Three Wheeler for all this hard work I didn’t do myself. :P

Mercedes ML350 BlueEFFECIENCY 4Matic

Kinja'd!!!

Infiniti Q50 2.2 diesel.

Kinja'd!!!

Third vehicle restricted other than the glove compartment? If so, I’m gonna go with a previous-gen Kia Optima, which I know for a fact has a push putton glovebox. The new one doesn’t, they switched to a lever for some odd reason.

Kinja'd!!!

Alright, for Germany, I’ll take a Cayman GT4...

Kinja'd!!!

and for Japan...and this might be cheating, but...I’ll take the TMG Sports 650, a twin-turbo V8 powered Lexus LS.

Kinja'd!!!

And for that third one, I’ll take a Jaguar XFR-S.

Kinja'd!!!

idk a GTR i guess. I cant think of anything else.

Is that Mercedes not a turbo V6? I’m bad with diesels. Blue efficiency is diesel, right?

not for canada - australian in disguise > Wobbles the Mind
03/21/2016 at 23:30

Nope, for some odd reason this BlueEFFICIENCY isn’t actually a diesel, it’s an N/A V6, according to Wikipedia.

Kinja'd!!!

Diesels are saving the day on this one!

I just want a big Lexus LS with a turbo 6 or supercharged V8

03/21/2016 at 23:31

I was going to pick the Accord Type S since Acura doesn’t exist in Europe, but Honda isn’t considered a premium brand there either so I went with the IS for mine. The Accord also had a wagon version, which was a better version of the TSX wagon we got for a few years.

Carcrasher just posted this twin-turbo V8 LS. Said it was an HMG Sports 650. I haven’t looked it up yet but sounds great to me already.
