Serious Question-

I am doing an internal assessment for a friend of mine. He needs data figures for some big project he has. So please take out about 30 seconds of your time and contribute.

Some of these questions dont need to be answered.

What car(s)/year do you have?

How old are you?

Apart from performance, what factors went into buying your car? (interior styling, comfort, exterior styling, etc)

Around how much money do you make in a year?

How many more cars are you planning to buy in the next 2 years?


Thanks a bunch guys, this'll really help.
(as I said, you dont have to answer some of these if you dont like)

Don't want to say how much I make per year but I'm in the top 1.5% of the US per 2010 cencus. I plan on buying a 2009 SL63 and another hotrod in the next two years. I may trade in the benz for a Bentley Continental. Not sure yet.

I guess those are sensitive questions for most of us. Anyway, I will flag this post and come back to answer them later.

I'll bite -

- Own only one car: 2007 CLS 63
- 25 years old
- The CLS is my realistic dream car. I fell in love when I first saw the car, both in pictures and in person. It looks great both inside and out, the 6.2 L beast, and the mesmerizing exhaust note. I'll stop here - I don't want to bore you guys haha :P
- I make enough :P
- I plan on purchasing a cheap winter beater soonish.

What car(s)/year do you have?

2006 CLS55 AMG

How old are you?

I'm 23.

Apart from performance, what factors went into buying your car? (interior styling, comfort, exterior styling, etc)

The interior comfort, the design of the interior, love the high sides / small windows and the features and comfort level. And of course exterior styling.

How many more cars are you planning to buy in the next 2 years?

Maybe an SUV sometime, not really soon though.

What car(s)/year do you have? 2013 CLS63 on order

How old are you? 42

Apart from performance, what factors went into buying your car? (interior styling, comfort, exterior styling, etc) Jack of all trade: close to supercar performance yet sits four in comfort. latest technology, style, customer service at local dealership.

Around how much money do you make in a year? Enough to afford a six figure car and still live comfortably but this is my daily driver.

How many more cars are you planning to buy in the next 2 years? A Gen V Viper if things go my way and I will keep the CLS. I will probably trade the TT vert for an SUV as well.
