Re: Is it Time for Another 20 Car Wish-List Thread?

I think such a car is a great choice!! Especially with your "garage" here, this is the perfect "stealth-car"!! Small and fuel efficient - especially when you drive into big cities with less or no parking space!!

The Yaris would be to small for me, so I choose the GTI - okay, it is faster and less fuel efficient but I really like the car.

And great choice with the Fisker Tramonto!! You'll have to go for the blue one!!

I don't expect many to understand my choice...but oh well.
How about one of these, Toyota i-Q production version. It is way more funky than the Yaris.

GTI is another fantastic choice.

Absolutely.

Right you are Derek. Very funky. I'd take that over a Yaris anyday!

Was it ever available as 420?! No, I don't think so!! Right now, there is only one diesel - and that's the 320 CDI! There was a 400 CDI some time ago…

…or I really have missed some information over the years.

If there isn't a G420 CDI then I will swap it for a Cayman S, since they are similar
