I like the RS6 as well. Nice choice. I hate the TT. I sat in it and it feels so tiny and unsafe. I know it's a nice car and all but having it designed in the US, I just don't trust the car. Just my gut feeling I can't change. If someone give me a TT, I'd drive around the block, and go sell it the next day. L

When the car first came out I thought it was ugly but somehow it grew on me. It just looks like someone took a Vdub bug and sent it to the gym. For the record I find the roadster version to be very ugly like a bar of soap with wheels. |

Prior to November of last year, my daily driver was the '99 Olds Cutlass listed in my sig. It became my mother's daily driver after her '89 Buick Century wagon was totalled and I became the proud owner of a '96 SVX LSi.
As for cars I'd like to someday own, the list currently includes:
I wouldn't mind getting another SVX either.

I've read a bit about the Blitzen, and I always knew that porsche had a hand in some of the asthetics, but i'm pretty sure that it's a FHI-assembled machine.. I'd like to see something in print or online indicating that it actually works the way you describe.. my other car is the predicessor to the WRX I could assemble a wish list, but i'm way too tired.. -adam |

As for my other cars, I am a Giugiaro fan and I have one of his designs from the 70's (117 Coupe), the 80's (Piazza) and the 90's (SVX). Just need one current design to complete my collection.

I wish.. I had thought about starting a Giugiaro collection when I saw a RWD turbocharged Isuzu Impulse for sale.. I realized that I really like the look of a lot of his cars.. I think that Italdesign had a hand in the early legacy design -adam |

The future...
Jean's Impreza will be replaced by a 2.5 RS somewhere down the pike.
The SVX will hopefully live forever with a new 5-speed conversion! and I guess I will have to break down and get a pickup one of these days. I'm getting tired of borrowing my neighbor's whenever I need to haul something. ( he's a great friend...he really doesn't mind, but I do...) When winter is officially over, the Swift (with Blizzaks) will be replaced as the "drive to school" car by the Focus. To be very honest, I can be perfectly happy with that lineup! Don
