Is it Time for Another 20 Car Wish-List Thread?

Merc1 · 07-22-2008, 06:51 AM

I think so. We've seen enough new products again to be able to come up with 20 wish-list cars. Again, cost no object, 20 cars, current or confirmed upcoming production only. No Carrera GTs and what not, they're great but gone now. Those are the only rules. My list:

1. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series
2. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster
3. Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG
4. Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series
5. Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG
6. Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG
7. Aston-Martin DBS
8. Ferrari 599 GTB
9. Bentley Brooklands

May I ask why Bruce?? Does it have a twin turbo V8 in it or something?

^ I guess it's easier to park than a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

Well, I wanted some sort of small, fuel effiecent transport within my garage and the Yaris is the one of the few from that selection that I like. To me, words such as "ugly", "boring" and "rubbish" do not apply to such a car...rather, I think the car is kind of cute and funky (I jokingly refer to it as the 'football car' because of it's shape..) but anyway, it's a car I've grown fond of for what it is and what it offers.

I don't expect many to understand my choice...but oh well.

EDIT; Rob: you've got it!
