Good choice. I've had my A7 over two months now and have only put gas in it once as I still have my BMW. I did drive the A7 to work today and still love the car. I can only imagine it with nearly double the horsepower.

That is a wonderful car that you have. Im a big fan of the A7 / S7 platform. At first it was an euro car because they thought the American market wouldn't prefer the styling but they were totally wrong. The A7 is a huge success and to be honest along with the R8, that all that Audi has going for it now. I was in the market for a A7 / S7 then the RS7 came out and i cant really afford the RS7 now so i didnt get the S7 or the A7. But i really want one. The A7 looks absolutely amazing. I saw a white one the other day with 20" Velgen graphite wheels. Not many cars get my attention living here in Hollywood, where a 2015 Porsche 911 is everyone's daily driver, but an A7 definitely grabs my eye. Especially with some nice wheels.

I like the F Type as well.

BTW, I got to drive a Hellcat today. Three of them and you are still under $200,000.

nice, shows that you have good taste, 707 hp tire shredder, (0-60 3.5 secs) ive drove the hellcat 3 times at 3 different dealers and its so much better than my SRT. Maybe one day ill trade in and buy the hellcat. It is the most horsepower that you can buy with the least amount of money in the world. It was the fastest muscle car ever however it only lasted for a few short months. Until Chevy released the 2015 Corvette Z06, which is just ridiculous. (0-60 3.1 secs).

By the way your A7 looks proper. I prefer those wheels on the A7, they are 20's right ? I think gloss black would look sweet on that white color, and accentuate the black grille. . Can you open the rear spoiler whenever you want, or does it deploy at a certain speed ?

Interesting to see no vote for Tesla yet. If this were my comfort zone, I would save up some more change and get this one. Porsches, LS and MBs are nice but they are quite common.

I've never been much of a fan of black wheels, although I admit they work on the white C7 Corvette with red interior and calipers. At some point I'll get to drive a new Z06, but not until dealers start getting more inventory. I've bought 17 cars, six of them Corvettes from the same dealer and I deal with the owner. But I won't ask him to let me drive one that he's still getting top dollar for.

Yes, the spoiler on the Audi can be raised with a button on the dash. But normal operation it raises automatically at something like 73 MPH. It hard to see in the mirror, I can't tell up if it's up or not. Yes, they are the 20" wheels.

Thats the Lambo Huracan right ? man thats sweet. I definitely cant afford to buy one but with the lease being around $3,000-$4,000 a month, in essence its not totally out of the question

The Tesla Model S P85D would be my #1 choice if we're talking about your ONLY car - i.e. a practical, usable, everyday type of cars that you would drive yourself and put thousands of miles on without having to worry about major maintenance or other problems.

But with $200K, I sense most people would already have an "everyday" car and this is more a 2nd dream car aka "weekend warrior."

Lots of nice choices posted. I love Audi's exterior styling a lot. The R8 is an amazing car in that regard.

Tesla is cool I guess but its not for me, I dont like how the rear end looks and how the rear tail lights look. The interior is bland and ginormous screen in the dash is way too big and unappealing to me. But the main negative aspect is range anxiety for me. Would be hesitant to go on a road trip with that car.

1. Tesla S P85D (totally different driving experience / too bad exterior doesnt match that)
2. Audi RS7 (this sexy delicious beast of car gives me a boner everytime I see it)
3. M4 CSL concept (i know its only concept :/ )


BWM M4 CSL




Tesla vs. Aventador

It fails at top speeds but off line it beats lambos, Ferraris and hellcats!
