For me personally it would be a Ferrari 360 Modena Coupe Red ext w/ beige interior. This car is flawless in every way IMO! I want one!!

2002 CLK 430 Coupe
Yeah, if I could afford it, a 360 Modena Coupe would be my next car too. Only, make mine silver with red leather (matches the red on the engine as seen through the glass.

Seriously though, the next vehicle acquisition will be for my wife when she is ready to trade her Pathfinder. Thinking in the future about an ML, X5 or some upper level 4wd wagon.

CLK55
ask me in three years....

when I have the 55 paid off...

but right now I have been doing WAY too much reading on a Lotus Eprit Turbo V8 (it has to be yellow!) - yes, I know, they have a piece of sh*t renault gearbox....

or - if I had the money today I wouldn't mind a used C43 - in the same color combo as my 55

CLK 430
Not sure as of yet, but I have been thinking of a lot of things. I am still hoping that there will be a V-10 in the Hummer soon. If that happens then I definetly want it. If not I will probably look into some other line. Of course if I am buying for my wife, she wants the new Lexus SC430. Frankly the only problem that I have with my Mercedes is my local dealer. Their service dept is the worst. So my closest mechanic with any type of knowledge is over 100 miles away. SO it does get a bit annoying for a daily driver car.

That would be nice, however her vehicle is the commuter/grocery getter and the one used when the white stuff makes the roads nice and slippery. Does she really need an ML55? No, but it sure would be fun for me!

I went back and forth on whether to buy a 911 coupe or the CLK55. I decided on the 55, but promised myself in 4 years I'd buy a 911. Shooting for Euro delivery and a few World Cup games Summer 2006!

I'll be getting a new car in 2005. If that was today, the two cars that interest me the most are the CLK 55 or the BMW M5. I guess the look of the car in the future will be the deciding factor.
