Who's buying a car this year?

[Peoplesoft bloke]

I'm going to have another look at Jags when I get back from holiday, but certainly not new

RE The Mini

On my daily commute the bus takes me past Park Lane MINI. They have a couple of Cooper S versions in the window with pearlescent paint that look the dogs danglies.

Back on topic, I fancy an RS4 Avant (before they get too old) and also like the new Q5. Since I became a contractor I'm as tight as a gnat's chuff so chances I'll buy one are slim.

Dont like cars, they're just a necessary tool (although got a weakness for Jags) but working on getting the blessing of the missus to swap my bike for a Street Triple R. Nice.

Seen the new Ducati Streetfighter? (Basically a 1098 without fairings)

Looks drop dead yummalicious

Yeah, saw it at the NEC - lovely looking thing! when you've got that sort of power on tap though, its too tempting to use it

I am, had mine written off by some latvian scum on the M40 over christmas.

Going for a Lexus 220d

Planning to sell our 2 cars and buy one replacement, since mine only moves once a week - could realistically be under 2000 miles in last year. The wife would like a newish Focus, whereas I want an RX8... but since she's the one who drives to work everyday...

I quite like this:

Replacement to the CR-X and eco chugger for Honda

Looks nicely futuristic, more aggressive than a Prius and its good for karma!

"Compact Renaissance Zero" - you really want something called that?

Anyway if it's the same tech as a Prius, isn't it actually a huge deception on the eco side? I wonder how long until we get fuel cells in production, after they covered them in Top Gear recently. I'm not sure how getting the energy into the car is supposed to be more efficient for a fuel cell than a battery car, but at least you don't have to lug around 100s of Kg of battery.

Just about to buy a used Freelander 2. Then I'm buying an 09 Triumph Sprint ST.
