for style:
either DeLorean or VW Scirocco I
for everything else:
brand new VW Golf V Syncro 4W and VW Van V 4W Syncro (If I could afford both..)
if I had all the money in the world, I'd still choose the two VWs... 🙂

Actually, I the only Lexus model I mentioned specifically is the RX 330, which is not $65,000, and, has completely different interior and exterior styling than its Toyota counterpart, the Highlander. And with my employee discount, I can aquire one well below $40,000. I don't remember the specifics, I never plan to spend that much on a vehicle. BTW- Yes, all Lexus's are based on Toyota platforms, but they are not simply rebadged Toyotas. The Lexus version usually has subtle, or in some cases extreme, styling differences. Lexus is likely to have more costly real wood and metal, instead of veneer or plastuminum or whatever its called. And, back when my plant first opened, they loved sending people to Japan to train. I have spoken with people that have got to play around online in Japan, and they usually say that the Lexus cars "just fall together". They are referring to the extra cash that Toyota spends on engineering, so the lowly team members such as myself don't have to fight with the parts to get them on, so we have more time to make sure we are doing the job correctly and not damageing the vehicle. And, I don't like the styling of Mercedes current lineup. Do I really have to be a blinded victim of capitalism just because I like a different brand of material thing than you do?
Chip NoVaMac- We are talking about DREAM cars. In real life, I've never really been an SUV person. I actually convinced myself that I hated them, until I recently rented a 4Runner. I fell in love, but still do not plan to buy one due to the gas mileage. But, in my first post, I said "It would need lots of power without the noise, emissions, and need of gasoline," part of the whole dream thing. 🙂 😉
