I just bought a 2012 Nissan GTR Black Edition last year and it was a really good purchase all in all. This car gave and still gives me serious wood. Now that I've been driving it for a while I will say while performance wise it hits it out the park, Audi has a superior audio/video setup. Their MMI is better than anything out there as it relies on the internet and not preloaded maps for navi which is important for guys that drive internationally. I've taken my car between the EU and US and having to not use your phone for Navi is awesome. Plus it lets you dump all kinds of video and audio files into the HDD to watch while you're stuck in traffic. The GTR only lets you watch them off DVD's and usb sticks. Their HDD is basically used to rip cd's.
If I had to choose any other car, I'd probably go with something German like an Audi R8, a Merc E63 AMG or an M5. My GTR can keep up with all of them, but German car companies really just go the extra mile on the tech stuff. Not to mention their warranty's are awesome.
Very good car for the money. They made some changes in the last year or two to it which makes the car even quicker, in the corners and in straight line, and they will bump up the power again next year.

1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA - Hopefully I can run one of these in a vintage race like Laguna Seca or somewhere in Europe.
1971 Aston Martin DBS
Childhood Hooptie - 83 Buick Regal....
My dad used to pick me up from school in the Hooptie and I
used to be so embarrassed.
It would make all this noise and the overhead upholstery
would sag so much that it would drape over my dad's head..
But damn, do I want that car back and roll in front of a
Hollywood Club.. sagging upholstery and all.

Simply Breathe-taking! The closest you'll get to driving a Formula 1 car on a normal road. Unreal experience. Can't wait to get behind that machine.

AIE, Kudos dude that's a sweet ride.
I'm eyeing this baby now: http://www.lexus.ca/lexus/experience/en/...series=isc
Now, for the guys mechanically versed like elmec, is the difference between the 2 versions of the models I posted worth the extra 8k? Or would I be better of putting that money towards some other options on that ride? Which options would you elmec and other car pros would recommend on that Lexus IS? Anyone driven that car? How does it rate/fare against the competition? Is it worth the money?
After that, the cars I'd be looking at 2-3 years from now would be an Aston Martin DB9 and then, when I really reach a millionaire's level, then my dream car is the McLaren MP4-12C which is my dream car and being a long time McLaren fan in F1, it's my obvious choice.

Throw in another vote for Aston Martin - only it's the DBS in the colour 'Casino Royale'.
They look pretty shite when stationary, but when you're next to one driving 80mph...
