It will either be... an MKIV Supra, a new 335i coupe, a G35 4 door(most practical for just daily driving), or just a beater beater so I don't hafta care for it.

Might get rid of my current SC very soon. I dunno...

As for me, I've got a 98 SC300 now. I'd REALLLY like a 98+ SC400. I'm longing for some V8 powa since I sold my truck. If not that I'd get an IS.

Currently I've got an 87 Supra turbo that's in pieces I'm working on slowly as money allows.

The Supra is just a classic. There's no other way to really put it. I can see the SC being somewhat of a classic in the future, but NOTHING like a TT Supra. Style is another thing the Supra takes the SC on, but then again, that's just my personal opinion.

I think I'll forever keep one of my SC's. You know how you see older guys driving old SL's. That's going to be me with one of my SC's 25-35 years from now

Imo supra has good engine but style wise its very boring, even compared to the SC.

As style trends come and go, the clean *SUBTLE* cars will always be respected.

This is where cars with classic shapes (like the MKIV supra, FD RX7, Z32 300ZX, etc) will always remain classy with just a drop and some decent wheels (I also like them wingless).

If you look at the modern bimmer crowd, wild examples are few and far between. Most value the "clean" look, and as the Fast and Furious days fall away, so will the bodykit/wing/poke/stretch looks.

I'll take a classy muscular (and possibly boring) shape over some of the "look at me" stuff any day.

^ +1 about the FD.... another one of my dream cars, and one that i believe will STILL look better than almost anything they (they being any car) will be able to come up with in the future.

Meh, they're not for everyone. They're still one of the most over-engineered cars on the road, kind of like the old diesel Mercedes'.
As far as the FD goes, love them! Absolutely love them, except for the motor.... Sure the Wankel rotary is balanced, can produce decent numbers, and keep the RPM's up high, but they are just aren't reliable. Rarely have I seen an RX-7 withough insane amounts of carbon buildup around the tailpipe and blue smoke coming out upon acceleration. I still want one, but it would have an LS1

Im planning to keep my sc for a bit, but my next car would definitely be a new 300 series bmw depending on how it looks as to when i can afford a new one the current new one would be old. Maybe a supercharged nsx......
