Cars that you want (now, past, or present)

[LastSVXintheChi]

I was driving my svx earlier and saw a Legacy GT wagon going the other way and I relized that I really want one lol

They can be realistic or not just cars that you have wanted im curious as to everyones taste

[bheinen74]

I just sold a 94 LGT wagon this fall, had 49k miles on it, sold it for 3g.

[LastSVXintheChi]

Aww man:eek:

This one was 2003-2005 body style:confused: that i saw not sure if my years are right

[Sean486]

90-96 Nissan 300zx. God I love those.

[benebob]

I've been looking at upgrading the daily driver. I would have to say the Bentley Turbo would do nicely with a weekend Morgan Plus 8 in the garage (rover engined not that torqueless BMW crap they use now). An AM Vanquish for the wife.;)

[icingdeath88]

I'd like (in no real order):

Subaru baja (one of the less-ugly ones, 5mt). I be it would be super-useful.
300zx maybe. 2 seater hatch.
Lexus sc 400
Crossfire in grey, m/t. Because people keep talking sh*t about them and I think they're cool looking.
Caterham (lotus 7) RHD. Dunno how realistic that would ever be.
2000+ style MR2. The one nobody likes. Looks like a chick car, but I've seen some with different front fascias that look more masculine that I'd go for.

Obligatory FD RX7, except that everyone and their grandpa wants one now.

Legacy GT was pretty nice, but if we're dreaming, I'd rather the 3.0 H6 with a 6-speed swap and the sportier bits from the LGT.

The only one I'd realistically get in even the remote future is a Baja. For hauling SVX parts.

Oh I like.the crossfire the 300zx and the 3.0 LGT lol that sounds like a nice driveway

[immortal_suby]

I'd like a BRZ but with a turbo and pushbutton selectable rear or AWD. ( I guess this is future)
And I'd like a brand new 1989 DL wagon. 4x4 of course. Make it red.

[Green1995SVX]

If/When I replace my SVX it will be with a Maserati Coupe Corsa or GT.

About 8 years ago I owned an RX 3 door. Certainly one of the coolest cars ive ever owned, and I've had some really unique stuff.

http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/Green1995SVX/32739.jpg

[wdb]

XKE coupe, glass over the headlights TYVM
Ford GT40, a real one, not one of the recent clones
427 Cobra, I don't really care if its a clone but it has to have to have side draft Webers (as long as were fantasizing)
Subie 22B
Ferrari 250 GTO

[Conn SVX]

My list is too long :
Deloriean
Avanti
Bricklin
Gull wing Mercedes ( any year)
Super Bird hemi

SVX 5speed ( got it)
A real Hot Rod 32 3window coupe with a blown motor.
1961 Chrysler 300 convertible RED
A retractable hardtop car.
and about 5 motorcycles ( I have 3 already) need a chopper

[fzftw]

About 8 years ago I owned an RX 3 door. Certainly one of the coolest cars ive ever owned, and I've had some really unique stuff.
Cool! There's actually 2 white 3dr. RX's where I live. But I want the most elusive, the 85 sedan. Only made the RX in sedan form in 85.

[Conn SVX]

I had an RX sedan. Silver turbo. Worse Subi I have had. Bad turbo would over heat. May have been head gasket . Coolest Subi I had was a charcoal Black GL 4 door multi port fuel injected 5 speed FWD witH all the options and it had dark cranberry red cloth interior . YES IT WAS RED ! I had dealers tell me they never saw that combo. 41 MPG high way .:lol: I would like to have that omen back ..

[Subix]

What I used to want: ( my tastes have really changed )

Dodge Stealth (kind of still would like one)
2nd gen Eclipse or Talon (yeah, yeah.. I know)
Nissan 300zx ( always loved the front end )
SVX (still want and glad I got it oppose to the top 3)
Hyundai Tiburon FX (not anymore unless I got one stupid cheap )
Mazda RX-8 ( love the idea of driving a rotary )

What I would be more inclined to purchase:

Volvo S40/60 or C30
Nissan 350z
Audi Quattro TT
BMW 328i ( love the compact feel of these cars )
Subaru Legacy GT 2.5i

My current dream cars:

Tesla Roadster
Jaguar XKR ( the blue one even )
Volvo C30 ( Polestar Edition )

....and last but not least the Laguna SVX now since I've spent a lot of time/money into building it up to the level I'll be completely happy with... I dream about it more often than not.

[wdb]

Brickland (Assuming you mean Bricklin) I worked in a dealership that sold those. Are you sure you want one? They were heavy, poorly designed, and poorly made. Glaring example #1: the gullwing doors were hydraulically operated; the system was so cheaply built that it leaked from day one, onto the seats if the car was empty or onto the heads of the occupants otherwise. (IMO they were ugly too, but that's subjective.)

[Conn SVX]

Just so different and you never see them. It was a cousin of Subaru. Have not seen one in a long time. Is it too late to trade it in for a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Tomaso_Mangusta. Of course we get these cars for free.

[wohnson89]

This thread needs more pictures, not just names....
I am still working on my dad for his 1993 RX-7 Touring Twin Turbo 5 speed.... I would settle for a garage with just that and a SVX...

pictures are from a car show here in Wichita last summer, it was 115 degrees :mad:

http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/7282/dsc01624os.jpg

The RX-7 and Impala SS are my dads, and of course that beauty in the middle is mine:D 90's cars FTW

[wdb]

Hehe I keep getting tempted by those SS Impalas. They look so menacing and American.

[wohnson89]

Hehe I keep getting tempted by those SS Impalas. They look so menacing and American.

Not trying to derail, but that one is for sale, and it's just as fun as you think. :D

I'm replacing my 1994 850 with one of these, soon. (Had a 92 Miata before and loved it. Only sold it because it was too rusty.):

My dad had one when I was growing up, it was the one truck I always wanted. He let it sit for awhile and I told him I wanted it and that he needed to sell it to me.

A year later he sold it to some kid....


I still bring it up to him just how much I wanted that truck.

Since I posted in here yesterday I'll go ahead and post again with my dream cars :)

Attainable:

You know I almost forgot about this car. Being in the U.S. I'll never own one sadly but if I were ever presented with the rare opportunity to actually acquire one of these I would jump on it in a heartbeat! Of course it should only seem natural as to why I like this beast but more so I just love the comfy looking interior and the little BMW-like gadgetry that makes it feel higher end... the Citroen XM:

The XM is a masterpiece... but I still would take an SM over it. I still say that the Citroen SM and the XM inspired the SVX to some degree!

Triumph TR6:

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3Po0Xc6QZrw/TaUUeHOC5bI/AAAAAAAABg8/DLRi1rApbbI/s912/DSC_0066.JPG

and to just name a few more:
-22b sti
-Lotus Espirit
-BRZ (to play around with)
-Impreza 2.5 RS (to build up for rally/offroad fun)

For now, I just continue to dream...

On a rerun of "American Pickers" last night a '67 Ford Fairlane GT was featured and I found myself fairly longing for an oldster like that.

Seller told 'em it was the original dark-blue paint, they popped the hood to survey the big 390, went all on about the VIN plates being correct and so forth, but never uttered a peep about the fact that the inside of the hood was a pale yellow. Paid seven grand plus another four just to get it roadworthy.

[stevek]

Well actually my dream list would look like this...
Ultima - to my spec.
Blower Bentley
Bugatti Veyron
Auto Union GP car
Any Invicta
Audi A8 W12 Quattro


The early E Type and Shelby Cobra are best left to the imagination upon reflection. As is the Dodge Charger, and the Mk3 Zodiac oval racecar with no windows.

One consolation though - the Lord gave me a vivid imagination, a poor memory, and enough earning ability to live on, just... what more could a man want other than a similar list of motorbikes.

[Conn SVX]

Saw the 60 min show last night . The owner of the company that built the Dragon space ship that supplied the Space Station, also builds cars
