Cars that you want (now, past, or present)

I was driving my svx earlier and saw a Legacy GT wagon going the other way and I relized that I really want one lol

They can be realistic or not just cars that you have wanted im curious as to everyones taste

Re: Cars that you want (now, past, or present)

I've been looking at upgrading the daily driver. I would have to say the Bentley Turbo would do nicely with a weekend Morgan Plus 8 in the garage (rover engined not that torqueless BMW crap they use now). An AM Vanquish for the wife.

Re: Cars that you want (now, past, or present)

I'd like (in no real order):

Subaru baja (one of the less-ugly ones, 5mt). I be it would be super-useful.
300zx maybe. 2 seater hatch.
Lexus sc 400
Crossfire in grey, m/t. Because people keep talking sh*t about them and I think they're cool looking.
Caterham (lotus 7) RHD. Dunno how realistic that would ever be.
2000+ style MR2. The one nobody likes. Looks like a chick car, but I've seen some with different front fascias that look more masculine that I'd go for.

Obligatory FD RX7, except that everyone and their grandpa wants one now.

Legacy GT was pretty nice, but if we're dreaming, I'd rather the 3.0 H6 with a 6-speed swap and the sportier bits from the LGT.

The only one I'd realistically get in even the remote future is a Baja. For hauling SVX parts.

Re: Cars that you want (now, past, or present)

I'd like a BRZ but with a turbo and pushbutton selectable rear or AWD. ( I guess this is future)
And I'd like a brand new 1989 DL wagon. 4x4 of course. Make it red.

If/When I replace my SVX it will be with a Maserati Coupe Corsa or GT.
