Good thing is my wife is fully onboard with my cars. Only thing that's not going to fly with her is a 2 seater sports car.
Have not thought about my next car after the F because I'm still having a great time with it at 2 years plus owning it.

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?

I'm keeping my ISF for a while. The next vehicle will be a Range Rover Evoque for my wife in the next several months...After that probably a new truck for me??? I can see myself getting a BRZ for a track car if it turns out to be easily tunable. My next really fun car will probably be a Porsche though...in about 3-5 years. When my wife and I were looking at the Porsche Cayenne for her, I couldn't help but be awestruck at how gorgeous most of the Porsches are in person...If I had to buy one today, I would probably go for the 911 4S
Edit: Oh, I would probably get rid of the ISF for a well thought out and more powerful GSF.

I love my F, but something inside me still wants E60 (05-10) M5. I absolutely LOVE the way that thing looks (exterior wise) and the exotic sound of V10 with an aftermarket exhaust is money for me. If I decide not to go sporty for the next car, def want a Range Rover HSE.

The way the car drives does not feel cheap, but the interior feels cheap. The dash is like it came out of a $30,000 car. It's very loud... You can hear the diffs and transmission. If you have ridden in both the 997 and a gtr it doesn't take long to figure out why the Porsche is more money. But you can snag a few year old 911 turbo for about the same kinda money depending on options.

Bought my F at the age of 23 after 10 months of working... if I saved up for 3 years, didn't contribute to 401k, didn't have goals to invest in a Master's Degree & property, I probably could get a used Gallardo by my mid to late 20's. But IMO high end exotics will come later in life, after I take care of education and investments. With that said a Twin Turbo Gallardo is in my future (realistically after retirement), but after the ISF, a Porsche 997 GT3 seems to be the way to go, especially after seeing the reliability chart.

I will be looking at 996 GT3s or possibly Turbos. I'd prefer a 997 or 993, from a styling POV, so I guess I'll see where they are pricing out in a year or so. No plans to get rid of the F at this point though.
