I was seriously considering a CLK320 before I started modding out my GS. Lexus makes great cars, but IMO life's too short to stick with one brand. I had an Acura Legend coupe before, and I'd certainly like to get a CLK430 in the future and mod it. Not coincidentally, I've pretty much lost interest in BMWs since discovering this forum

Funny... we just made our first payment on the GS and my wife and I were talking about what's next. Of course it will be a replacement for my Acura and not the Lexus, but we both agreed with big, huge smiles that we would not be opposed to parking another Lexus in the driveway. My wife even said she could go for another GS just like the current one, but I'm hoping that by the time we're ready for our next car that Lexus will have redesigned the SC to be more to my liking...

Or something insane...like a SC300 with a supra TT 6 speed swap or the low ball way, Mustang SN95 with a cartech or tdc turbo kit. Make some serious american power cheap. Kinda ghetto though but I ain't about image.
Realistically, a mini for the wife and maybe a Turbo for the GS. Not very imaginative at all.

Right now my wife and I have the vehicle bases covered with a fun but practical car (my GS430), a fun and entirely impractical car (Z3 roadster), and a totally practical but not at all fun SUV (4Runner), so I don't really feel like I'm missing out on anything.
I'm still having fun modding the GS4 and look forward to the expiration of my factory warranty so that I can do mods like a TC, LSD, potentially SC or TT, without feeling like I'm jacking myself. However, I wouldn't be opposed to looking at the next-generation super sport sedans in a few years including the next M5, the new E55, the RS6, and whatever the successor to the GS4 might be. Time will tell...

I will probably keep all we've got as we're happy with all of them but will get a convertible with manual trans for an alternate car. Choices are:
1. CLK430 Conv
2. M3 Conv
3. Boxter S
4. Listening to Nissan if the 350Z will have a conv down the line.
However, I don't know how I will stand the pressure of ignoring the Evo when it hits our shores. Sounds like some serious yet fun car with easy and inexpensive route to beat my neighbor's Corvette

Since I tend to buy and hold for a while, my next car likely isn't even out yet. Probably the GX470 to replace the RX in a couple of years (growing boys need more room) though.
