Default What's after the Z? What do you plan to buy?

I didn't want to put this in the Other Cars off topic section since I figured this would get more traffic.

Right now I have two vehicles, a newer plain jane daily driver, and my nice weather 370Z. More recently I have decided that having two cars is a bit of a pain in the ***. Two sets of insurance, one car ends up parked on the street etc. I feel like streamlining to one vehicle that does it all. While I love the Z it's not ideal.

Top Choices:
Bmw 228i Coupe (wish it came with AWD)
Bmw 335xi Coupe AWD
Audi S4 AWD
Audi S5 AWD
Infinity Q50 AWD
Infinity FX50 AWD
Caddy ATS Coupe AWD
Lexus IS 350 AWD

You can see by the list I want 300+ Horsepower, AWD and all would have to be 2012-2014 model years. All of them work well all year round even in the snow which we get too much of here!!

Just looking for input, suggestions and would love to hear from others feeling the same way.

Lamborghini Aventador...I wish!

Hmm never really thought about it. Maybe something a littler more practical. Maybe a CTS-V. Power, Luxury, 5 seats and a real trunk.

If I could afford an Aventador, I'd get one in a heartbeat. That beast is hot as hell (next to the Veneno), the interior is what I want in a car.

The 370Z is nice, and if the next Z is good, I might get that. Otherwise, I might try to save up for Toyota's FT-1 if it's good too and not insanely expensive.

But I am now thinking of luxury and power like you too.

If I could find a good one, the last generation of RX7. I loved those cars and still miss it. My next car will definitely be a turbo of some sort.

I love my Z but the car I am looking at is not on your list, C7 Corvette. You want one car to do it all and I want a sports car that albeit has space limitations.

I found one on cargurus.com I believe I was gonna buy.
It was an R1 too which is lighter then the standard rx7. It was 1 owner red in color and no accidents and garage kept....
I decided to pass but it still may be for sale.

Porsche Cayman GTS for the daily, and either second Gen Lotus Exige or an FD Rx7 as a toy.

I tired to get a Cayman GTS, they are only sending one to each dealership and you had to pre-order. Needless to say at 95k (try to order one cheaper) I decided it just wasn't worth it.

CTSV would be on my list but any RWD only vehicles won't work here in Canada for the winter. C7 is a favourite for me also, but yeah looking for one car that does it all.

I think the M235i is coming in AWD eventually maybe it will trickle to the 228


for a daily and only car I have been eventually considering leasing a Q60 coupe or IS350 AWD

if I were to obtain a beater I want that C7 vette so bad
