Your dream car, what's obtainable and what do you own at the moment?

I'm a big fan of cars and motorsports but I've never seen a post related to cars here before.

Anyway, let's get started. My dream car has always been a BMW M5 E60. Simply put, the car has an amazing V10 engine producing 507PS and a sweet sound that you just can't get anywhere else. This car is like a Ferrari F430 but with a big boot and 2 extra occupants. Yeah, that's what Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear describe this car though. Simply put, it's among the fastest and sweetest handling 4-door saloon out there!

Attachment 28640

But what's my favourite obtainable car at the moment? A BMW 320d. Yeah, what else can I say? This is the best handling saloon out there that you can ever get. Diesel is very good in fuel economy and the engine delivers a really big torque. I like the looks of it and for the price of MYR230k, why not?

Attachment 28641

I've driven both of them and they're freaking tastic! Currently, I own a Proton Persona Elegance. It's just a basic car, cheap, economic and takes me to point A and point B without any problem. I have yet to plan on changing though but yeah that 320d is obtainable.

Attachment 28643

So guys, what's your dream car, what's your favourite obtainable car and what do you own at the moment? Do share with us :amaze:

I own a 2007 Honda Civic coupe and my wife has a 2011 Honda Fit Sport. My dream car is an Audi A8 and my wife wants an Audi Q7. Its attainable, but we're holding off for a few years. I'm in the middle of a career change right now and going back to school. But these cars are our goals.

Can I share a little superstition with you on how to obtain your dream car? As a child I was taught that an old Asian superstition is to put money (a few change is fine) on your window pane and it's supposed to bring wealth into your home. In high school I took that a step further and actually put a picture of a Mitsubishi Eclipse and later that year I got exactly that! Then I did that with the Audi A4 and I guess what I got? Yep an Audi A4 (granted it was used). See a pattern? I know it sounds silly and probably psychological in the way that it helped me focus on my goal, but I got my dream cars. :)

My favorite car is the Saleen S7. This is a picture of the Saleen S7 TT Comp. No need to describe the car just look at it! Ok I'll say a little, a super rare super car with a pushrod V8. It has all kinds of aerodynamic features and has a respectable racing history.


This is my current car/ realistic dream car, a 92 Mitsubishi 3000gt vr4. It came with a 3.0l V6 twin turbo making 300hp and 307ft lb tq, full time AWD, all wheel steering, active exhaust system at the push of a button, and active aerodynamics. And who says sports cars get bad gas mileage? I can drive from LA to Sacramento on less than one tank of gas!

Yeah mate, thanks for sharing and I did exactly just that. I put a picture of the M5 in my car, in my wallet, in my phone and.. It's everywhere! :p

A used E60 M5 is selling for around MYR200k more than the 320d right now and I think in a couple of years to come, that will also be attainable for me.

I own a BMW 330xd touring with almost every extra BMW has to offer. This car is for me a reasonable compromise of practicality/performance.

I've never thought about having a dream car... but if I had to, it would probably be a V8 Lexus IS, assuming they still make it next year (when I'll likely finally get fed up with my current, 14 year old truck :winktongue:). It's obtainable for me, I just don't really see the need to switch cars, since my current one still works okay (especially at drinking gas... but I still need the cargo capacity, at least until next year).

'90-something. I honestly can't remember if it's 92 or 93 or 95...lmao

My dream car is a new Camaro.

A more practical next car would be a vw golf or gti, or a small suv like a ford escape or a Chevy equinox.

I currently drive a Jeep.

Call me a simple man but I drive a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee which I would take over anything else on the road. I will drive it into the ground and then get the current model Jeep... I am loyal, still have a 1994 Chevy pickup that serves me well as a second vehicle.

Do you really like the new design? I personally hate it 😉

Unfortunately, my eyes aren't fit for driving. :(
But if I could drive I'd probably have my mom's old car, early 90s Toyota 4Runner. Looks like this:
Attachment 37540
My dream car would be one I could drive legally. If I could I'd probably get an Audi or something. Something sophisticated, but not too flashy or flamboyant.

Without a doubt if I had $150k laying around, the 1966 Ford Futura Batmobile would be my next car!!!

You can obtain these for $20,000 AUD at the least down here!

Ever since I moved to the UK I've been stunned by how cheap cars are here! You can pick up one of those for under £4000 here. Depending on how many miles and year of course.

I spent 7.5 years in Australia and what always stunned me was how expensive cars were.

I'll try answering the questions of the OP.

Current - 2003 Vauxhall Astra
Obtainable - Audi, BMW, Porche, etc...
Dream - Bugatti Veyron 8.0

Why the Bugatti? I just like the way they look.

Dream: A tricked out Ford conversion van, ready for road trips and begging for some open space and crashing out where ever the moment allows.

Obtainable: See above. Why not ?? I am a van man, one of the last on planet Earth. They are a rare sight. But, I love driving me a comfy tank.

I'd love to get this 57 Chevy.

current: mazdaspeed6
dream: Maclaren F1
obtainable: Full custom Evo or STI.
Im driving the speed6 into the ground then picking up the Evo or STI. About 2 years to go...

I'm the biggest fan of Bugatti Chiron. Bugatti Chiron, the new supercar will get the same w-16, quad, turbocharged engine, but it will be heavily tweaked. Additions made could include a direct injection, there will be four turbos inside the engine out of which two could run electrically. This will in turn help to reduce turbo lag dramatically. As for the power produced, it going to be humongous around 1500 HP.

Would love to find a 65 Mustang with a date code of 15H - That would be the same "born on" date as my birthday. Wouldn't mind either a coupe or convertible - unfortunately fastbacks weren't generally available before September '65.

I obtained my starter car 1985 corolla gts, but i would love to get a 1989 Nissan skyline gtr.

67 Plymouth GTX with the 426 Hemi and 4-speed. Hopefully it will come with a master bath since it'll cost more than a house.

I would love an electric car, not only due to their environmentally friendly nature (once manufacturing is under control), or how quiet they are, but their acceleration speed is phenomenal. Tesla seems to be on the bleeding edge of pushing the boundary on vehicle technology, and I would love to be a part of that.

Subaru is my most trustworthy car brand, so if for some reason I can't get the Model 3, I will definitely go for that WRX, its quick, has great handling, its practical as a daily driver and has Subaru's amazing Symmetrical All Wheel Drive. I actually just got that Legacy a few months ago, so my next car won't be coming till a few years. I love driving that Legacy, and what has stood out the most is that amazing AWD system, we have had 3 major snow storms here in upstate NY this winter, and its has handled each with ease.
