on my current budget, i'd say i like where i'm at now. decent gas mileage and it's a quick little fucker. carries 3 passengers comfortably (though recently all it's carried is taco bell wrappers and empty full throttle cans), not terrible on insurance, and is about to have a damn nice system in it. definitely my favorite all around dd car i've owned.
given an unlimited budget, i'd take a new s8 with the optional $7000 bang&olufsen sound system, with one of those new ferrari 599 gtb's as a toy. i saw one on the cover of road and track in publix today and got half a chub. i was literally standing there at half mast looking at that car.
