So either Corvette c7 z06, or RCF!

That's good to know!! I drove my 2008 IS350 for almost 10 years and past the 170k mile marker and nothing ever went wrong with that car, hence me getting another Lexus. Hope my 2015 GS F sport has the same kind of reliability.

I've got a 335i right now that I like but am really fond of the GS 350 F Sport and the Audi A6/S6. I'm considering snagging a GS350 F Sport and then trading again when the twin turbo version hits the streets in 2018.

Yup the steering on my car is blah. 2015 M Sport so it's had some revisions that make it better than the 2012 cars but still nothing like my buddies 2011 (e90). The steering is precise but has nearly zero feel, the suspension is underdamped by BMW standards...having said that once you load it up in a corner it's pretty damn impressive it has tons of grip. The I6 delivers power fantastically...CTS V Sport, Audi A6/S6 or GS may be next on the list for me. I'd like to give the next gen GS a year to get the kinks worked out and then pickup a CPO, so I'm still looking at a 3-4 year wait. Don't see myself keeping this BMW that long.

Also the G30 5 series is getting good reviews, may be worth keeping an eye on.

x2. They are nice vehicles, but plan to spend a lot of time in the service department.

Not true at all about spending a lot of time in the service department...

I have two family members that has owned multiple Range Rovers and they are very reliable and dependable vehicles...and they are wonderfully built. There are thousands of Range Rovers in the Dallas area.
