What will be your next car?

Not the displacement grumble of the 3.8, but still corners well for a car.

The P-cars aren't going anywhere but they are getting a new roommate next year. Acura NSX. I'm not ballsy enough to buy one sight-unseen, so I need to wait for the early birds to get theirs. I thought for sure I was replacing my Lexus daily driver with the new RC-F....until I drove one two weeks ago. I've never driven a 450+ hp car that felt so slow.
I'm hoping to upgrade my 997.1 to a 997 TT or a GTS. Looked at a Aston Martin Vantage...they are yummy too but too big.

the first 91 nsx had very few bugs. snap ring transmission recall, i think that's it.
overall i think honda is pretty good for reliability. first year or not production should be very limited.

congrats! i have faith that it'll be an awesome car. that's sad to hear about the Rc-f, i've seen a few drive by the lexus dealership in the area and its a beautiful car.

Debatable....my first 911 is staying put. I drive a 2013 Cruze LT as a DD, lease is up little less than two years. Debating a 5-series, A6/used A8 or SUV of some kind......OR do I keep the Cruze as DD for a few more years and get a second sports car...thinking Cayman, C7 Z06, 997 Turbo, Viper GTS

Probably some f*cking POS Honda. Oh wait... been there, done that!
991 maybe.
We bought my wife a Buick Lacrosse a little over a year ago, which she really likes. It was the first car purchased from a USA based company in 24 years. In those 24 years we have bought cars from Germany, Japan, and England.

The only cars at the moment that I imagine replacing my 997 are the Mercedes AMG GTS and the 991 GTS. The 991 body style still hasn't grown on me, but I was instantly smitten with the AMG GTS.

911 stays put for another 8 years if possible (until mid life crisis time lol)

I have an STi. Still a boxer motor. Outback is a fine vehicle, but no big motor. If you want the wagon, the Outback is your answer. If you want a wagon and need a wagon and also want the big motor. You will have to look for a STi 5 door.

Outback is the right size for all the junk we buy on weekends. For some reason my wife doesn't want me to use our Odyssey for that kind of duty.
I might just go for cheap and get a 4 cyl Outback. Tragic about the CVT though.

No thoughts at this time of selling the Porsche...but the car I was originally looking for (had to be 1988 or older to import into the US) is a Lancia Delta Integrale...I could live with the 8 valve. However I had to drop that when California made it impossible to register in the state without doing a gray market job on the car (and ruin it). But maybe a Fulvia 1.3 or 1.6 is in the future.

AM V8V in about 20 years when I'm 90 and ready to get out of a sports car. Already sliding in that direction as I moved from a 400 hp RX-7 to a 993TT to a 6GT3 to the 997GTS I now have.
On the family front, once the electrics (Tesla) get to a 500 mile range, one of those.
