i have the feeling my wife will be choosing the next car because i got to choose the last one (ms3). all she wants is to have a wrangler again, must be the "it's a jeep thing" everyone always says
but after that, since it will be my turn to choose, i would want a project car of some sort as well. i'd love a 2nd gen miata, maybe once they get under $5k for a decent one with the projector headlights (i think they started in 02 or 03)
I am still very happy with my ms3 and this is coming from someone who has had 10 vehicles over the past 10 years.
I will probably keep it for many, many years as a DD. As a future toy I am thinking an MX-5 Miata or a used 911 997. You get can get the 997 on the high 40's now which is a deal.
I love my Speed. I'll probably keep her for six or seven years. I almost bought a Magnum SRT-8, but 48 sparkplugs in the driveway, plus no benefit mileage-wise made me stick with the Speed. Maybe a Nissan 400Z, or an Infiniti G40.
Well the MS3 will stick around for a long time... Hubby is planning on a new car for a DD. He wants a 09 Cobalt SS. We are going to eliminate some other options this weekend though. His friend wants us to test drive the GTi and the Mini Cooper S.
Now the next car for me will be the Cadillac CTS-V. They are coming out with a Coupe in 2010.
