M5 is always a good call although I can't say the same for the other BMW models. Anyways my favorite would have to be the Porsche Carrera. Once you drive that car it's hard to go for something else.

So thats what one of my local funeral homes have. I've always wondered what vehicle it was since I first saw it parked outside the home early this year

I would like a Chevrolet. Not sure what type but a 3.0 litre model or more. I like the Silverardo, Impala and Malibu. The 2007 Silverardo looks awesome.

I don't know about a "good old-fashioned" stationcar. Although looking great, they are expensive in upkeep and parts probably aren't easy to get hold of.

But of the new-fashioned stationcars around, this one has to be the most beautifully designed European stationcar:



And might well be my next car.

In the past I have never been a big Audi fan but since my father bought an A8 I became addicted to the car and I drive it as often as I can. The 4.2 liter engine in the A8 is the perfect combination of comfort and power, no matter if you're driving in the city or on the Autobahn, it is always a pleasure. The downside is the fuel consumption but fortunately I don't have to pay it.  Wink
