As soon as it comes out i'm finally going for a 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8. Trading in my '06 IS250.
More Room, More Power, Back to SRT! From the reviews the handling for the 2012 version has "improved" we'll see when I get it, anyway for the winter I'll drive my Wife's Q7.

hmmm, for me is depends on what the options are when the 350 "bites the dust" as I plan to keep it for a long time.

Even Porsche has realized where the future of performance is... the fastest of any model with all choices does not have a clutch pedal, it has a PDK.
No, I know that there's much faster and albeit better ways to shift gears. I just can't see Lexus offering a full-on Doppelkupplung in the IS. I wasn't terribly impressed with the IS-F's 8spd automagic either. While they may be "better" in that they are faster, I feel they are not "better" at contributing to the driving experience. A proper manual set-up keeps you much more engaged in my opinion, despite it being developed by a 19th century frenchman and a bit old hat. I would be willing to sacrifice a few tenths to 100 for the third pedal, as a matter of personal opinion.

And very few things replicate the feeling of giving an engine some revs and letting your left foot go

2012 Toyota 4 Runner- Trail Edition- Black

And I already have the following mods planned for her:

Satoshi Grill
Yellow Fog Lamps/DRL
Flat Black Trail Edition wheels or TRD Rock Warrior wheels
Matte Tail Lamps
Borla Exhaust (if no TRD exhaust available by then)

This guy’s Runner is pretty close to what I’m after

Did a bunch of CL members get together and buy lottery tickets together?

There's an astounding number of people in this thread who have listed 911, GTR, etc as their next cars. I was under the impression this was a thread for what you're seriously considering actually purchasing as your next car, not what you dream of having. Of course some people might actually have those cars in their consideration set. But there must be a lot of people recently coming into money to be jumping from $30k IS250s to $90k 911s and GTRs..
