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..
^^ I guess I was the only one not dreaming and keeping it 100.. But i would seriously go back to a G coupe not the civic

There's nothing wrong with civics... major downgrade in terms of luxury, but a CIVIC will always be my first ('89 Hatchback) ..

Out of curiosity, why do you want to go back to a G coupe from an IS?

If I don't need 4 seats by then... Scion FRS or Hyundai Genesis.

Or maybe the 3IS

The next generation IS-F, ideally in a non-convertible coupe.

Thinking of going back to a Tundra, Owned trucks my whole life. Never got a speeding ticket. Had my car little over 2yrs have gotten 3 Plus after taking my IS to the track the HP is useless on everyday streets, yes it's nice to have but really you only use it maybe 5% of the time daily driving. I think I'd rather have the ability to haul crap & tow sheet & run over a few dumbass drivers out on the 710/5/101, Just my 2cents. Love my IS & really want an F but it would have to be my play car not everyday driver. Sucks just driving slow in a fast car.
Man after reading this back over I guess comfort isn't that big of a deal to me, haha..Or maybe the comfort is what is killing me, Never realize my speed in the IS every time i look down i am like doh! As my GF say's as she goes 100 in her IS250 I am at my "Not my fault speed" haha

I buy used cars...so I'm not looking at 90k..probably around 60-70k. Plus I'm making about 55k a year in my field of study right now...without a degree. Expected to graduate in 2 years, So realistically speaking, a 60-70k car isn't much of a stretch. But then again, you can't really car shop 2 years ahead of time, so we'll see

For some, their next car can be in 1 year or 10 years.

id like to know this also, because i loved my 350 way more than i do my coupe. I went IS-GS-G35 and next will be an IS350 08-11 in a year or 2. A LOT more car for the money hands down.

I traded my G35 for the is350 it was a lateral move if you ask me, I got a hella deal from my salesman/brother and sales mgr/cousin at clearlake lexus! I couldn't say no, I'd get the g37 next.. no real reason I just like the look of the coupe better..
