money is no object
ok, just for fun, if money was no object, and you were allowed to pick two cars, one benz, and one not, what would you get?
I'll start, let's see where this goes.

benz- 2012 SL65
non benz- 2012 porsche 911 gt3

I actually had DB9 before remembering my true love, the 3.0 CSi. I hope this doesn't mean we think alike.

No - we don't think alike. My first love has always been Aston Martin right from early iterations. How could a lover of "fake-o-liminium" & I ever think alike.

The 3.0CSi is a pretty motor car but you can have it's wayward handling.

Hopefully it will have good handling, since the looks are typical Acura these days, meaning

Love the looks of the NSX concept & Honda can't be accused of making it a Ferrari look-alike. See we don't think alike!

Damn, that was a close one! All (well, most) can be forgiven if it's available in a manny, has a semi-reasonable price, and handles similarly to the old one.

John - I'm sure if money was no object & it had to be Porsche it would be one of these babies.
