Affordable Dream Car?

What cars do ya'll wish you had, not Bentley's and Ferrarri's, but real cars.

I saw one of those Magnum's this morning that looked pretty badass, and I could see myself driving one of those. I also like the Boxster...

Anyone else? Man I am bored...

Hey one of our local radio stations is giving one away.

Topic?
I drove a Ford Focus while my car was busted and I loved it. The only issue I had with it is that every time I went over a bump, the car would make a sound as though it were about to fall apart. But it still had a lot more power than my lil Corolla.

Bentleys and Ferraris are real cars...

I had Pontiac Grand Am's a few times as rental cars. Nice cars, plenty of power even though some of them had been treated like cr@p since they were rentals. I'll look at them next time I go car shopping, but I will probably end up in some type of SUV. New England winters... *sigh*

My dream car for the LONGEST time, like as soon as they came out, was the Lexus IS300. I didn't like any of the other Lexus models before this one, I thought they were for old people. Nice cars, but too big. But then this car came out and it was small, fast, and really really cute.

And then by some act of god I somehow convinced my mom to buy me a brand new little black one and I LOVE IT!!! And while it wasn't cheap, it was certainly really affordable and it's an awesome car!!!

I also really like the newer Saab's, especially the convertibles. And Audi's, I love Audi's!!!

I am saving my pennies (and nickles, dimes, quarters, etc) for a Pontiac Vibe, salsa with a grey interior. After I fell in love with this car, my co-worker bought one, the exact color and everything that I want! When the co-workers make plans to go out to lunch, I always say I'll go if the Vibe is going! I want one soooo bad, but won't be able to afford it for at least 3 years.

I've been driving my parents Mercedes SLK 320 and I'm liking it. I wouldn't mind trading in the Spyder for one. I really like Hummers cuz their all big and shit but they totally eat gas. And the only time I was ever allowed to drive my dad's I hit the side of the garage.

I'm pining for a 2002 or 2003 4Runner, whichever year is the newest of the old body style. I reallllly like the sport edition in black. Other SUVs I'm looking at are the Honda Pilot and the Nissan Xterra.

I also love the Toyota PreRunner double cab truck, I'd totally drive that, black of course.

I'm longing for a Mazda3 S... lava orange, manual transmission, ABS, moonroof, 6-cd changer, 17-inch wheels... not like I know precisely what I want or anything

But I refuse to get one as long as they're only offering crappy finance rates.

Hahahaha -- Exactly why I picked the Magnum, that hemi can roll... I usually am not a sportscar guy (although I did say I like the boxster) so I like to beat them on the line in something they don't expect. Awesome.
