What new 2011 vehicle do you wish you could own?

[GMTruckGuy74]

Over the past several days I've been thinking of intrigued's new 2012 Mustang GT Premium response in the "Any changes to your "automotive family" soon?" thread and how there is not a vehicle I currently drool over that I could afford now or next year (trust me, I drool over the 2011 GMC Sierra Denali plenty, just cannot afford a new one now or in the near future). I remember in the late '80s through the mid part of this decade always lusting over something attainable. I guess the prices today, the lack of funds and credit on my end, just make it impossible for me to lust over anything much.

However, there is something I wish I could have, if offered here in the states, if I had the funds:

2011 Holden SV6 Ute or Commodore SV6 Sportswagon:

If those were on sale here in the states, I'd be at the closest dealership at least once a week drooling over them.

What would you choose if you had the option?

[G. David Felt]

If I could afford it, I would pick up a very beautiful black XLR V at my local caddy dealership. I also would like a GMC Terrain AWD with a 3.6DI V6 Twin Turgbo for some go fast fun.

[SAmadei]

2011 AMG CL65... in Dark Blue with Black leather/Blash Ash interior.

[Drew Dowdell]

CTS-V Wagon

[Dsuupr]

Realistically - 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco

If done with school - 2012 Buick LaCrosse eAssist

If all bills paid off (minus house) and done with school - 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe AWD or V-Series

[Robert Hall]

Realisically, if I had garage space--for the practical daily driver I'd cross-shop the new Chrysler 300C, Charger R/T, Grand Cherokee, or CTS.

Realistically, for a #2 fun car if I had garage space, a new Mustang Boss 302 or GT. Or a Camaro SS. Or a Challenger R/T. I find all of them appealing. Would have to do a number of test drives before picking one.

(I'd really like to go buy a new car today, but am holding off until I take care of the big issues..i.e. new house in a different state, moving, etc).

For a money-no-object sell-your-soul new dream car, maybe an Aston Martin DB9, Merc SLS, Merc S65 AMG, Porsche 911GT3RS, Caddy CTS-v, or Audi R8 V10 Spyder.

For a money-no-object insane-with-no-practical-use car, I really, really want an Ariel Atom.

There are a few...

Probably the LaCrosse CXS or a Volt are the number ones though.

[Blake Noble]

Sign me up for a Holden Commodore SV6 with a six-speed row your own.

(If I can, let me put in a special order to make it a coupe. )

[z28luvr01]

Did you need to ask?

Other contenders:

[Blake Noble]

A Toyota Blazer, Z?

[smk4565]

If money was no object, I'd be torn between the Jaguar XF and Jaguar XJ, supercharged of course.

[Chris_Doane]

Audi R8 5.2L or Aston Martin V8 Vantage

[z28luvr01]

A Toyota Blazer, Z?

wtf? I posted a CTS-V coupe. The host must not like the fact that I hotlinked his pic.

Edted my post and got rid of the pic of that disgusting vomit inducing picture. Now let us never speak of this again

[intrigued]

Mustang GT premium, 6 speed stick, 3.73 rear end, brembo package, HID and NAV. Black exterior saddle interior.

Fortunately my dream car is not super expensive and I will order a custom build in the next year to 18 months from now.

It's going to be my reward to myself for finally finishing my undergrad and paying off all my debt besides my school loans. The only other debt I will have is a mortgage hopefully since I am looking to buy a condo in the same time period.

[RjION]

A 2011 vehicle do I wish I could own? No 2011 has me wanting.

[Lamar]

Oddly enough, a 300C or Charger R/T.

And all this after I swore off Dodge after my wife's previous Piece-o'-Crap®.

[Satty]

Tata Nano

[knightfan26917]

2011 Dodge Charger

With my recent attendance to the NY auto show, I'm going to personally extend this to include upcoming vehicles.

• Realistically: 2012 Kia Rio Hatch. Loaded up, it offers more upscale materials and features than any similarly priced VW. Not to mention, it looks utterly delicious for a subcompact.
• Stretching: 2012 VW Golf R. Not 100% official but close enough. Great mix of luxury, sport, and civility.
• Wishing: 2012 Land Rover Evoque. It's awesome in every way. LR managed to make the coolest SUV to soon be available.
• Dreaming: All three.

[regfootball]

A Buick Regal might be my current fave. Non pretentious entry luxury, solid build, GM or Ford, nice size.....only wish is the improved turbo that is on the horizon.

[Turbojett]

Oh there's a whole list of cars I want...

Corvette ZR1

Corvette GS (painted correctly!)

Camaro ZL1

Camaro SS/RS

[William Maley]

Realistically: 2012 Kia Rio Hatchback or Ford Fiesta Hatchback

Stretching: Ram 1500 Tradesman, Kia Optima SX, Sportage SX, Buick LaCrosse eAssist, Chrysler 300, Suzuki Kizashi SLS Sport AWD, Chevrolet Cruze Eco, Ford Focus ST, Subaru Legacy GT

[daves87rs]

[Drew Dowdell]

The 300C-SRT8 and a CTS-V Wagon for the wifey.

[siegen]

Audi S4 or Acura TL SH-AWD. Both manual transmission of course. The Acura would be more realistic. Better mileage and reliability.

[Chris_Doane]

*** A mid-size Jeep truck would go right to the top of my list.

It's coming.

[ocnblu]

Oh God!

[Potluck]

Escalade
