hopefully i can maintain my crossfire, and drive it for the next 10 years or so. After which, i hope to be able to afford one of these...



Probably an impossible dream, but always need something to dream about!

It is kind of funny to me how as I get older I seem to collect and restore ones I always wanted in my early 20s or teens. It seems life/reality always got in the way then -- kids, house payments, college tuition, other half's perspective of what we needed like new furniture or a bigger house, etc.

I guess a second category of future cars is the ones you had and wish you never sold.

The third category is the ones even now that I could never afford but dream of having.

The four doors help BUT again it is a tight fit in the back seat with booster seats, etc. Just something else to consider.

PS We are not tall people in the front seat.
Thanks for the info, I will have to really look at them closely to figure out if they would work.

I plan on keeping my SRT-6s for at least 10 years. So if all goes well in about a decade I will be buying something like a BMW 1 series M coupe or M3.

right now I am impressed with the BMW series 1 M.. Will not see one on every block. I would have to find a good deal on a used one in a couple of years. My other choice would be a good used Dodge Viper. Both are only available with three pedals and a six speed

Wow.... I totally lied. Looks like I am getting a VW Golf R Have been doing research on these for a while and for a lark called the dealer to see if they had any that were not spoken for. Turns out they are getting the color I want and it should be here in a month or so. Like the 1M and Viper it only comes in manual. Still keeping the SRT-6s but now I will be satisfied with manual gear box and all wheel drive.

My next car is gonna be a Hybrid. Its technology is actually pretty good. Hybrid cars not only save gas, but also the environment. It will definitely help me to drive environmentally responsibly.

Thank you Miss Cool for helping me see the light!! I do need to be more concerned for the environment. I think instead of buying my wife an eterinty ring, or heaven forbid a cat back system for her always thirsty hemi charger, I will look into some solar panels to charge the batteries on the golf cart
I've changed my mind. No BMW for me, looking into a cool bike....

I am loving CTS-V's lately.. I'd love to get the new wagon, but will probably get the older body style when I finish school.

I don't know guys... all i could really ask for in my next car, is another car that is rare, with no predecessor or successor (like the crossfire). With awesome lines and design that will age gracefully over time

Or Mercedes can make another ******* child, I can truly say I've owned all of them (Smart ForTwo and a Crossfire LOL)

Currently I am using Toyota corolla, it has an engine trouble and couldn’t fixed it. So I hope to buy a hybrid car next month, because its power sources are good.

I have planned to buy Audi R8 it is one of the best and valuable cars that I have seen. I like this car because of the outside look and the powerful engine.

I owned and used the Audi 5000. Magnificent car I acquired at half value due to the 60 minute TV fiasco. Replaced it with a 200 Turbo at low cost for same reason. Could never afford another after value returned, gary
