I'm really eyeing the ford focus rs! I'll wait till the hype dies down and maybe get a used one in a year. Need to see the reliability but looks extremely fun to drive.

The fun-to-drive factor is what has got me looking at one seriously as my next car. I'm on FocusRS.org and following all of the current happenings. Already have built motors making 600+whp!

Yes exactly! TheyThey are a little out of my price range at the moment but my plan is to pay off my 350 by the end of this while saving up some down-payment money on top of trading in my 350 for it. Possibly a used one in a years time can be had for around 30k or less? I'm on the enthusiasts page on Facebook and some are having oil leak issues and 10+ cases of blown head gaskets on stock so that worries me. We are coming from lexus and nothing beats this reliability but if the price is right next year and they are pretty reliable I might grab one and maybe do a couple mods. Love my 350 but the rs looks so fun to drive and it's faster!

So over the weekend I've started considering an Camaro 1SS with the track pkg. Can get one for about a fully loaded Focus RS :

On one of the last few episodes of The Grand Tour, Jeremy Clarkson said after driving the car throughout the filming of the that episode, he actually went out and bought one. Not sure if that's true; but the scene was him at the actual dealership and him pointing at what was supposed to be the actual Guila that he bought.

Not planning on getting a new car for a long time, but hopefully when the time comes, a 997 Turbo (hopefully they depreciate a lot lot more lol).

I've been researching the new gen Camaros lately, but after lurking the Camaro forums, the problems with these cars are ridiculous.
