Default Current ISF owners: What's your next car?

For me, one of the reasons I chose the ISF was reliability. A lot of us F owners came from Honda, Acura, Infiniti, Toyota, and Nissan for the same reason. There are also a lot of us upgrading to the GTR. Looking at the report below, I think the Porsche 997 GT3 is in my future...

What would you like your next car to be realistically?

Hard to say because I am a new IS-F owner and think (hope) my next car is a ways off. But I've definitely got a "type" and figure my next car will fit that type. It'll be a Japanese made high powered sports sedan as a do-everything car, or a Porsche plus a Japanese made "beater" car to daily drive (such as a Camry or Accord).

I appreciate the GT-R for what it is, but it has never been one of those cars on my list of must-owns. I'd much prefer a 911.

I recently had this discussion with a friend that will be buying my '12 F off of me in a couple years. It's a toss up between a '15 IS-F, a gently used Ariel Atom (if such a thing exists!), or just focusing on finishing the restoration of my truck

I only saw one guy have an ariel atom. Its in San Diego, CA. I saw him driving on the canyon while I was on my bike. Its one the the cars I would like to drive on the track or canyons.

The next generation IS-F. I'd also consider the LF-LC if it's priced under 80K. (Lexus has confirmed it will produce it.)

I'm not really thinking of getting any other car but keeping mines and maybe getting an actual daily. But hey that can change as time goes by. I would want the porsche 911 but my aunt owns one and if i want to drive it I'll just ask her...lol...I have a list of cars I would collect but my income isn't agreeing with it.

I would probably keep my ISF and buy/build a more fun car. GTR or 997 GT3 RS if I buy something. And been thinking about building a Factory Five Cobra. I think that would be a fun project. Or something else that has caught my attention is the C63 Black Series....

Audi R8 if I decide to buy something else but at the moment, the F is perfect!
