2. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster
3. Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG
4. Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series

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

Jeez Marcus...next time you do one of these threads, please, please include 'out of production'. I could have had an Esprit and an NSX, etc...but no no. All of the cars I like (and want) are now (or have been for quite some time) out of production.

OK Anyhow...enough of my bitching.

My list:

1. Nissan GT-R
2. Honda S2000
3. Lexus IS-F
4. Lexus LS460L
5. Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG
7. Porsche 997 GT2
8. Porsche 997 Carrera 4S Targa
9. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
10. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series

11. Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe
12. Porsche Cayenne GTS
13. Toyota Yaris 3dr (seriously)
14. Wiesmann MF4 GT
15. Audi R8 6-Speed
16. Alpina B3 Coupe
17. Wiesmann MF3 SMG
18. Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG
19. BMW X6 5.0
20. Fisker Tramonto

Well, I wanted some sort of small, fuel effiecent transport within my garage and the Yaris is the one of the few from that selection that I like. To me, words such as "ugly", "boring" and "rubbish" do not apply to such a car...rather, I think the car is kind of cute and funky (I jokingly refer to it as the 'football car' because of it's shape..) but anyway, it's a car I've grown fond of for what it is and what it offers.

I don't expect many to understand my choice...but oh well.



EDIT; Rob: you've got it!
