Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Pretty decent looking, too busy front end for me though.

Jaguar F-Type. My first love are the Aston Martins but the Jaguar is actually an attainable car which has really bumped up its desirability for me :)

Seems to me that Wing hit the sweet spot in terms of depreciation.  I'd for sure look for one a little older - and save a ton over one that new.

I used to think 911 GT3 was the pinnacle of Porsche, but since the departure of a manual GT3 and Porsche allowing the Cayman reach its potential, I am really starting to obsess more about the GT4 than the GT3.

Of all things. Maybe its the result of the newborn but so far I am really liking the wagon form factor...the V60 is just too small.
So perhaps an Outback instead of an Odyssey to replace the TL some day.
Or I could just be sleep deprived and loopy!

You've got my vote if it's the H6 variant. The current 4 cyl with the Outback just does not cut it. The CVT now makes the 6 more fuel efficient then previous auto, to boot.

Yea....I know it's not for most people.  However, I've always liked (loved?) bronze colored cars. 

I had a lovely colored Bronze Antique Mica GS400 too.....

I don't mind the exterior colour, what I don't like is the light wood accents.  But, I'd still take it  ;D

That is some impressive value retention given the age, mileage, and the fact that its a V10 BMW running costs.
