    Default I want everyones opinion on the "PERFECT" car

    I wanted to see if i could get somethin started here. What, in you guys' opinion is the PERFECT car

    I'll start it off with my opinion, the 2006 Cadillac STS-V. Perfect mix of power and luxury. Not seriously flashy (e.g. Bentley, Maybach, Lambo, Ferrari, etc.) I would almost consider the car "unmodifiable" (the only thing i would do is switch the wheels with the ones off of the CTS-V, preserving OEM quality)

    FUK GM, the interior quality and that awful art and science crap are going

    nowhere. plus it will depricate so fast, that next year it will be worth half of

    what it is new. not a smart buy at all.

    my perfect car list.

    1. Ferrari f430 WITH-OUT THAT FUKIN SMG automatic.
    2. Mercedes AMG CLS-55. 4door and most beautiful car to come out.
    3. New 911 w/o 4wd and with the carbon brakes.
    for real world prices.
    1. EVO 9, 4wd but best feature is at the end of day its a 4door.
    2. S2000, lacks torque but the best drivers sports car out there.
    3. RSX, has best potential of any FWD

    E55 AMG.. perfect blend of power, luxury and style.

    As far as modding goes, Toyota Supra by far..I didnt truly appreciate it until I started modifying the G35 that I had. The look is timeless, reliable and the potential is unreal.

    I'd take either an m5, e65 amg, m6, or one of those 911 turbos with the crazy 800 hp setups.

    Sorry had to laugh at that. A b Series motor has more potential then any K series last I checked.

    How can a car with no torque be the best drivers sports car out there? The s2k is fun.. but not the best out there. Now if it has some sort of FI it would def be a diffrent story.

    For me the perfect car has to be able to do almost anything. It's gotta be fast and quick, handle great but not at the expense of a comfy ride, gotta have state of the art tech (ICE, safety shit, etc), be reliable and not super expensive to maintain and service, and be able to carry people and other shit as needed.

    2-seaters and other exotics are out as they are either single-purpose cars or too impractical to use or expensive to maintain.

    BMW M5 and MBz E55 or S55 are great choices. But the PERFECT car is this:




    Yep, a Mercedes E55 AMG station wagon. Hauls ass, people, shit, whatever. Comfortable, easy to drive, can be fixed at any Benz dealer, plenty of toys on board, does it all. Here's a good article about it: http://www.caranddriver.com/article....rticle_id=9835

    For my perfect car...I'd have to move to the UK. I'd go for a TVR Sagaris.



    Just enough creature comforts for a daily driver (almost)...but serious enough to be a hardcore driver's car. Not to mention, I think it looks amazing.

    I wouldn't say it's "perfect" but I bought my S Type R because it is the total package of luxury, looks and performance... I also like the M3/M5 or the ML55AMG

    The Jaguar S-Type is an impressive machine but I'm not a big fan of it's styling. I like the XJ series a little more but hey...I wouldn't turn one down.

    Congratulations man...nice car.

    If they ever made it, an M5 AWD station wagon, until then I'll say regular M5.

    They have made or are making an m5 wagon, but not likely to be awd.

    Ok MY PERFECT car....

    Rahul, the TVR is awesome, but i think id get tired having to get down that low EVERY SINGLE DAY.

    Id rather take this.....



    Yes, the Two Door 2007 BMW M6. Perfect driveability, luxury, uniqueness, and it looks cool.

    If not that then a Subaru STi S204, lol.

    I considered the M6 myself, but I'm more of a pure performance guy than a luxury guy. Besides, BMW's feel so heavy.

    Yeah but if i could only have one car for the next 20 years and that was my perfect car. It would be the m6 or the s204 but in LHD so an STi with al the dressings.

    If we are talking absolute just one of the cars in the garage. Then idk, Enzo dont sound too bad.
