Pretty simple, only cars that can be bought NEW in 2015-2016 and are AMERICAN! Few categories to meet. 

 

1 Truck

1 Sedan

1 Coupe

1 SUV/CUV

1 Wild Card! aka..toy! Could be any form of automobile just as long as it's made in America(or the company is). Doesn't have to be a car, truck, or suv. Could be a motorcycle, 4 wheeler, plane, I don't care as long as it is American!

They don't have to be a 1 make, you can pick your favorite truck, favorite sedan, etc. and make a blended all american Dream Garage. I'll get to mine a little later when I have time to get the pics uploaded to photobucket. 

 

..otherwise you have three garages..  

[Drew Dowdell]

Well, 2016 could finally be the year of the truck for me.... this is what I'm looking at...  I'll fill in the other categories later. All 4 are equipped and priced about the same. With the most expensive being the Ford, then the GMC, then the Chevy, then the Ram (which I can't package quite the way I want).  You may or may not notice a pattern... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Robert Hall]

Hmm...you like medium blue 4dr trucks w/ very little chrome.   I'd want brown or dark red w/ chrome.

Yeah,  GMC annoys me because of the All-Terrain package. I want that grille and not the chrome if possible, but I want the tan/cocoa interior.  All-Terrain only comes with black interior and drops things like the max trailering package.  Looks wise, I like the GMC the best, but combination of Looks + Packages, the Chevy wins because I can have everything just the way I want it.  If I end up in the GMC, you'll know I compromised on something.. not because they don't offer it, but because of the lame package combination requirements. 

 

I'm not a big fan of the F-150's looks and sadly, the Ram looks so old to me now. 

 

But the basic requirements are - Crew Cab, Short Bed, 4x4, Trailering package, Heated Seats. 

[G. David Felt]

GMC is Freakin Lovely!

[ccap41]

1 Truck: F150: FX4 of some sort. I just don't want a chrome dipped truck. If this is a dream garage then money isn't an issue so give me the 5.0 and allow me to put some mild exhaust on her. I don't think It'd get red but This is exactly what I'd want, black grill/wheels, painted mirrors, 4 door, short bed... 

 

1 Sedan: CTS-V

 

1 Coupe: GT350R

 

 

 

1 SUV/CUV: Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

 

1 Toy: Polaris RZR Turbo ESP

[balthazar]

I don't dream about modern stuff. That said, I do find the Sierra Elevation quite appealing, but GMC doesn't offer it on the crew cab, and a CC is mandatory. So I'd have to special order the E wheels and swap out.

[Suaviloquent]

I'll fulfill the toy part first:

 

[El Kabong]

I already own a pretty cool truck.

Cadillac CTS-V

Corvette Z06

Escalade Platinum

[smk4565]

Truck:   Chevy Colorado (I first thought Silverado, but I wouldn't want to drive something that big)

Sedan:  Tesla Model S  (with ludicrous mode)

Coupe:  Corvette Stingray

SUV:  Jeep Grand Cherokee (probably diesel)

 

Not sure about a toy, are Hover Boards made in the USA?

[El Kabong]

Oh ya, toy...

...

An F-14 D.

[ccap41]

Cadillac CTS-V

Corvette Z06

Escalade Platinum

Were you also kind of town between the ctsv and ct6 with the 3.0tt? Or not because you were already thinking ctsv because you wanted an Escalade?

[Drew Dowdell]

Truck: GMC Sierra Crew Cab Denali. Just the 1500, don't need to be wheeling around a 2500

Sedan: CT6 PHEV Platinum

Coupe: ATS-V Coupe

SUV: Escalade platinum or Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit EcoDiesel

Toy: Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

[ccap41]

Is the Grand Cherokee Summit a more luxurious vehicle on the inside than the SRT? If so, I'd actually probably have that.. But who can say no to stupid amounts of power?

Shoot, a Wrangler would be an awesome toy!! I'd want like nearly base model 6spd.

Damn, when I said toy I tried to be all unique and something unconventional but I might want an ATSV and a GT350R as a toy.. But I kind of want something to tear up like the Polaris or a Wrangler.

I just remember the one I saw in the dealership from a few weeks back. It looks better in person than in pics, where it comes off as a bit plain compared to the latest German stuff. But like I said, in person it's got charisma in spades.

I'm yet to see one in person but they look tough as balls in pictures so I can't imagine how gnarly it will look in person.

The Summit is the poshest of the Grand Cheerokees, the SRT is still luxury, but if I'm getting a Grand Cherokee, I want the capability to go anywhere.  I've got the ATS-V in my list for speed. 

[oldshurst442]

Truck: Winnebago Grand Tour Ellipse.

 

Sedan: Tesla Model S P90

 

Coupe: Dodge Challenger Hellcat

 

SUV: Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Lifted

 

Toy:

Corvette Z06

 

Or a Mustang P-51D replica

[El Kabong]

That's quite a truck man

[oldshurst442]

Yeah, well.

I dont do trucks. Nor SUVs all that much, and the criteria calls for both...meh.

 

The ONLY SUV I WANT is a Wrangler....lifted. Or a WW2/Korean war vet original.  US Army issue.

So...a Winnebago called out to me in this dream garage thread.

[Drew Dowdell]

It would be a dream to have a garage that could fit that Winnebago.

 

I would like a modern airstream to pull behind the Denali/Escalade/Jeep GC.

Nope the so called Hover Boards are made in China and not even a Hover board. They are a two wheel gyro balanced skateboard that is harder than it looks to ride and clearly burns to the ground even when in the packaging easily.

 

Real Hover Board, then get this Made In America!

or this company also is working on a hoverboard to be built and out in America in 2016.

[Frisky Dingo]

Truck- Ford Raptor

I would't even need to change any of the colors.

[ccap41]

I don't think Ford made a Raptor in 2015..?

[oldshurst442]

That is a very nice blue colour on the ATS-V.

[ccap41]

Gorgeous blue on that ATS-V!

[Frisky Dingo]

You can still buy a 2014 Raptor new, I checked. And if that don't count, I'll just take the new one.
