Truth is, I can't have a $200K F430 as my only car, & my next new car will likely be a sedan, so realistically, it will likely be the LS + a second car which isn't likely be one of those in my "dream" list ...

My dream lists tend to still have a practical edge to them - they're cars I'd probably buy if my household income was about double what it is now - which means I still wouldn't go overboard, but I would loosen up a little.

Three cars:
-Comfortable daily driver and road trip car: LS460 SWB w/ Nav and Levinson... nothing else.
-Truck duties: Cadillac Escalade EXT
-Sporty choice: not so certain... either a Porsche 911, a BMW M6, or a Corvette Z06. Since I have zero driving time with any of those current 3 models, I can't say for sure.

This would be in my future stable too if they make one, although I prefer them to differentiate it more from the sedan, like a more aggressive looking front end :http://www.cwwcardesign.com/cars/lexus_ls_460_c.html

Latest dream:

m5


m3 coupe


911 turbo


s600


e63 amg wagon


Now that they're making a Turbo cab again, it's a shame they don't make a Turbo Targa. I think that might jump to the top of my list regarding Turbo variants.

Dream & Realistically:
--------------------

1) 911 GT2 (Daily Driver)
2) Lambo Gallardo (Daily Driver)
3) F1 car (Weekend / Track Car)

I turned 22 not too long ago so, definitely reacheable!

You and I think similarly. I don't really have any desire to have an FXX or Maybach Exelero. I just want the benchmark luxury sedan (S600 -- sorry LS fans ) for the wifey, a cabriolet (either M3 or 911 Turbo) to tool around in on weekends, a sporty daily driver for myself (M5, M3 coupe, or 911 Turbo coupe), and maybe a wagon to haul crap (E63 AMG). Plus, I like that these are cars with meaning to enthusiasts, but to average folks they're just nice cars but nothing special, as opposed to the Bentleys and Lambos and the such.

E46 ZHP sedan

E39 540i

E24 M6

B5 S4

W124 E500/500E


Almost positive I'll buy a E46 ZHP sedan, E39, or a S4 after I finish grad school if I can find one in the right condition....if not, keep the GS put more mods, and buy a nice SC like attached

In the next 3 years while I'm still in undergrad, I'll probably get an IS350 or G35 when I can get rid of my IS300 and probably hold onto that new car until I'm done with school stuff, then buy an M3 or RS4.

I don't dream about owning crazy exotic cars, just cars I'll probably be able to own some day:

If I'm by myself...

Range Rover
S600
Audi R8

With wife/family...

the same 3 +
SL or SC for the wife
3 or IS for whenever the kids start driving

Lexus needs to build more cars that would end up on these lists.
