SL55 AMG, what a crock

That said, the 996 Turbo sill seems a good bet.

 

SL55 AMG

BMW M6

Aston V8 Vantage

Porsche 996 Turbo

Audi RS4 & RS6

Jag XKR

 

All seem to be prone to serious and expensive problems at realtively low miles. What is a modern equivalent to the Supra as none of the "similar" cars are in the same class.

 

H.

 

 

The V8 Vantage is quite "Suprary". :) Its not very quick mind.

 

You know my thoughts on what to choose in that list although if you wanted an estate the RS6 is rather awesome.

I've learnt my lesson and never bought new since the Renault... To be frank some used cars are as good as new but with someone else taking the first depreciation hit!

 

Buying new works in some situations, but there's no denying you get a LOT more for your money buying second hand.

Well the R8 interior is definitely better than the GTRs and that V10 howl is to die for! Never driven one on the road yet so I will reserve my judgement.

 

I would definitely have the McLaren if I can afford it lol. Being a bit of a geek tech cars are a big hit with me. The fezza looks nice too...

 

You think so? From what I mentioned earlier about the weekend we had both the R8 and the Q7, jumping between both cars the R8 interior felt more Audi A4, £30k car like then the £80k it is supposed to be. Infact the Q7 interior seemed a bit nicer than it, well they all looked the same!

Ah, when I said better I meant in overall quality and feel. I have to agree the interior of the R8 is boring (and the Gallardo the same...) but at least it is well built lol. Our Q7 is abused daily and no squeaks whatsoever. I guess no one does interior like ze Germans!
