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

Roddy1 · 05-25-2014, 02:56 AM

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.

WRX STi

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.

Kaminari Kuro · 05-25-2014, 10:00 AM

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

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.

wanker · 05-25-2014, 10:27 AM

A Prius modified with FI and some 22"s.

Roddy1 · 05-25-2014, 10:50 AM

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

KaienZ34 · 05-25-2014, 11:47 AM

Been said already but, C7...

Something AWD and turbo with aftermarket support. Still would keep the Z though.

Haboob · 05-25-2014, 01:39 PM

CLK63 AMG
C63 AMG
C6 Z06
911 Turbo if I can find one at a decent price.

A house... with a big garage.

Maybe the next Z! or a new vette...mmm

Will look for a four seater in about 2 years, so M4 will be on the short list.
