I've always dreamed of getting a Jaguar F-type. Looks so dope, wish I could afford it. It sounds awesome when I see one out on the road.
When I was a little younger and had practically no outgoings I had an Audi RS5, I really miss having a fast car, but I couldn't afford to keep it when I moved house, so I have a more economical car now that isn't much fun
I'll admit, looks wise, those F-Type jags are beautiful. The exhaust note is near perfect but, it's still a Jag. Meaning, reliability will be an issue. Everyone I know who owns a Jag gets pissed off at some point in time. Even Aston Martins are garbage when it comes to long term ownership.
For me, Porsche is the best for overall performance and reliability. Some might say their design is mundane but for me, it is a timeless aesthetic. _________________ Music is my medicine
I'm actually looking forward to the new Acura NSX. The people at Acura have been so hush hush about it. Looks wise, it's not as appealing as the last gen but I'm glad they're bringing it back. Plus it is a hybrid. I'm looking forward to seeing proper reviews once the car is ready for release.
Actually you can add a mod 92-94 Acura nsx to my list. It'll be my import ride. _________________ Music is my medicine

F-Types are thrilling. I think the V8 is overrated. The reliability is slightly improved... But you know, it's still a Jaaaaaaaaaaaaag. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

If I find the right price, I debate between the NSX and Elise. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

One of my friends designs parts at Jaguar Land Rover over here in the UK, he gets to take the cars out for a spin every now and then, when he picked me up to take the F type out for a quick blast down the motorway, man it sounded like a beast and just drove like a dream.
Ironically he drives a Porsche as his own car, Boxster S

I tend to be jealous of my Carwitter buddies because I see what they get to drive on the daily. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
I would probably just opt for comfort, and get an A8L, S550 and LS460...I'd probably also get a sports car, but I much prefer a smooth, serene, comfortable ride over the alternative.
...And if we're talking about a nice powerball win, I'd probably look into a Mulsanne or Phantom.
Mike, have you tried the Insane mode on the Tesla P85D? It's a freaking roller coaster ride. A little too much for me but the 70D is just fine.
Haven't had the opportunity. Already have an idea.
Love that car, even if the interior isn't as luxurious as the competition.
I couldn't take more than 3 seconds of it. You feel it throughout the body.
I picked up the 70D and with the premium interior package, the car is quite nice inside. Only downfall is lack of storage space but I added the center console. Nothing comes close to the "monitor" on this thing.
Btw, drove the new S55 Coupe last weekend - now that's a car.

I enjoy skydiving. I have zero problem with hard acceleration runs. The highest horsepower I've driven is 850, with no traction control and a manual. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
