Default What car are you really anticipating?

I would say I am anticipating reading about the GS 450h and the 997 GT-3. Also very curious to see what a true manual is going to do for the M5/6.

BMW will introduce a manual?
Man, seven gears will be complicated!

Yes, due to, believe it or not, AMERICAN demand and customer hate for SMG, they are building a true manual. Not sure if it will be 7 gears though

The next Lexus LS & SC, the next NSX, the Lexus supercar(hope they get rid of that droopy nose of the LF-A though), the 4 door Porsche Panemera, GT-R, IS350 coupe.

Realistically, only the next LS/SC & the IS350 coupe would be in my forseeable future. The NSX could be possible if they keep it under C$120 K. THe current NSX is C$143K , too much for what you get & too much for me to pay for an impractical car.

Well, that's a good thing then, choice is never bad

AmenthySC and others have a good pick. The next Lexus Supercar.

IS350
Next gen C class
Next gen G35
Infiniti GT-R (I'm sure all the BMW, Acura, Lexus supercars will be nice, but I think the only one within my price range will be the GT-R.)

Only 6.

Believe it or not, the LS460/600/h/L. Interested to see what Lexus will really bring to the table in the "big baller" department.
