What's your dream car and in how long do you plan to get it?

Please also state your current rides. If your parents own it, it's not your own so unfortunately you can't state it :p

Current: Honda Civic 2007
Future: Cadillac ATS...probably in the next 3 years (if all goes well with work).

I have an '08 Nissan Altima.
Want a 2013-2014 Scion FR-S as a feasibly obtainable car, Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 as a dream car.
When I win the lottery.

I don't really have a dream car. I like the average cars we drive. I park in a ramp so my commute car gets beat to death by *-holes doors. My wife drives a nice Benz but still nothing exotic. Most people can afford it and except for a few things it isn't much more exciting than my Nissan.

However, when we visit China a family friend sends us a high end MBZ or Audi and a driver. The driver picks us up at the airport, handles our bags, and takes care of us during the whole stay.

If I had a dream car it would be a comfortable one with a driver at my beck and call.

Right now I have a 2014 Mustang GT in the garage as my "project" car which I love, but my true dream car is a new Porsche 911 Turbo. I'll have one some day, I want to pay cash for it.

It must fly. And I like the option mentioned above that you can pilot it or put it on auto. Then, want it to have an interior like a small living room with a lazyboy or some kind of plush zero gravity chair that massages my back (I have a spine disorder).

Currently I have a '12 F150 Lariat and a '10 VW jetta sportwagen TDI.

Currently I own a lotus Elise (2003) and a 2002 Renault kangoo van (in white) and I must admit, I'm getting bored with cars.

I would like to sell the Elise, which I have owned from new, but the wife won't let me! She thinks I would regret it, but I would hate to lose the van

I think I would just buy another van or maybe something like a Toyota IQ


I must have come safely through my mid life crisis :D

I have a Forester Xt for offroad, surf trips etc and a Golf R which is pretty quick.

Dream cars... well from an aesthetic perspective probably a 365:

From a driving perspective, probably a Caterham.

My dream car has always been the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR. It had well over three hundred horsepower and yet it weighed just under 2000lbs. I'd need to have founded Instagram to afford one of those now ;)

I have a 2011 Subaru WRX STi which is a lot of fun.

I'm reasonable. I would be happy with a Corvette Stingray with the Z51 package and magnetic ride suspension.

That's pretty awesome! So then I take it you guys are financially doing well :p

I love the stingray. It's a pretty nice looking car. How long before you can drive around in one? :p


Dream car: runs forever, consumes no fuel, and I don't have to pilot it.

Talk to google. They got some of your fantasies in the works

Mine is still a Volvo ! yes I know...

An XC-70 T6 is my dream car - safe (AWD), fast (304Bhp), comfy to drive (geartronic) and practical (Estate Car).
