    Contrary to my username. I drive a Subaru Legacy GT. I like their vehicles.

    AWD.

    The turribleness is relative. Comparing it to say...an M3 is apples to oranges. One is a coupe, the other is a roadster. Comparing it to a boxster is more realistic. The boxster handles better, but the z4 is a bit more civilized in my opinion. But it all depends on what puts fire in your wire.

    yeah it probably would not be smart to get the audi. especially since it will be an all new model. when i was in london audi was everywhere you turned.

    the ilx is the opposite really of the audi. very dependable but a very small engine. 370 would probably not be the smartest choice but if i get it i wont care ;)

    Yea, I know I was just metioning the z4 because someone posted a pic of one and a boxter is a better option for the same price.

    Porsche has really stepped up their game, the Cayman and Boxter are very close to the base trim of the 911.

    And I was saying the reason BMW is even mentioned as a top car is because of the Luxury and the M cars are on thier own level.

    No surprise to see so much German love with Oktoberfest in sights. I'm always down for a good party, so I might as well join in.

    Currently in love with my Audi TT, though those Porsche Caymans are so very tempting.

    Audi. Love my 2012 S4. It's been reliable so far after 25,000 miles.

    If money were not an issue? Aston Martin.

    We have Benz and Acura in our household.

    The TL is an awesome value buy.

    I voted and bought Ford (b/c they took no bailouts)... but I was tempted to vote Tucker or Powell Motors. :grin:

    Considering the V.A.G. owns AUDI, BugattI, Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche, Ducati, etc. I'm going to choose Volkswagen.


    I own a 2011 GTI

    I'm kinda conflicted between German vehicles and Toyota vehicles. I currently have a 2004 Passat that has been more than loyal to me, but I also know that Toyota vehicles are an exceptional product.

    Being an owner of a Volkswagen kinda exposes you to the misfortunes of some with the same vehicle.

    And a pro on Toyota vehicles is the cost of maintenance or other significant repairs. It's mostly affordable compared to German vehicles.

    My vote is Toyota. Honda kinda takes the cake too.
