Adding to that, an M3 wagon would be awesome.

Also, an E46 M3 sedan. I'd drive one of those until I died.

A reliable E92 328i 6MT that didn't cost an arm and a leg to fix would be my perfect car.

E46 Coupe >>>>>>>>>>> Sedan. The E46 sedan remains my least favorite 3er, just had really odd proportions at the C-pillar and back.

I'd take an E90 over an E92.

Not that I'd get one, but why doesn't the Ford Explorer have the V6 Ecoboost as an option? Seems silly to me, although I am guessing it's a supplier issue or something, cuz it really is ridiculous for it not to be an option.

Vinsanity

Not that I'd get one, either, but I always thought that a convertible FJ Cruiser with the 5.7L V8 would be a fun idea

It will be.

I have always thought a convertible SUV would be cool.

Oh, wait;




No.  No, I was wrong.

Lexus revised the IS-F's suspension for the 2011MY to address the harshness and improve handling.

Lexus supposedly tweaked the IS-F suspension after like the first year model.


They may now be using less gravel in the mix but it still feels like concrete.
