Question What would you drive if you didn't get the car you have now??

I'm just wondering if you guys didn't get the car you have now, what would you guys drive instead.

for me, probably the E46 M3.

I guess I'd still be driving my CLK430 which got traded for the 32. But once you're a MB owner, you'll stick with it for the rest of your life. Maybe MB has quality issues lately, but other companies have it too.....I really cant think of driving another car that can give you the same amount of luxury, feel & enjoyment. As long as I can still afford one, I will be a MB guy all the way.

If I was buying a car today, it would be between the Acura TSX, MB C230K sedan or C320 Coupe.

A perfect condition 928S4, or perhaps a 968. I know I'm in the minority, but Ive always loved front engine Porsches.

MINI Cooper S, with the John Cooper Works 200HP option.

A4 Coupe(2004) or a 3 series Coupe

C5 Corvette/ Crossfire/ Z4/ SLK(all too small- need room for son's Car seat )

Since I always want to upgrade to different cars, I have made myself a promise...I will only change my benz for a '05 E55 AMG. Nothing else. I might want to add a(and don't laugh) Chrysler Prowler in my small collection...maybe.
