I’ll start. It’s the 911 Dakar. I’ve always been a massive fan of the Safari models. But being this off-road capable is insane, and not to mention that it might be one of the best daily driven cars ever made. I always loved big boxy SUVs for daily driving, but this seems to combine my 2 favorite things.
Giulia Quadrifoglio. Saw it announced, immediately fell in love, but it was bittersweet because I knew Alfa wasn’t in the USA, then, by the time I finished the article and saw that it’s the car that Alfa was using to return to the US, it was my dream car.
I tried to stay realistic, kept my SHO, dreamt of a Stinger because that was the coolest looking replacement for my Taurus but then my wife got elected, and was still driving a green Kia Soul. I told her she needs a car that reflects her title, so I got her car detailed, and, sent her off to get an estimate on a trade in. Two hours later, I get a text. All caps. “I JUST BOUGHT A STINGER!!!”. I hadn’t even mentioned that car to her! She stole my realistic dream car! Maybe we can be a two Stinger household? Yeah! That’ll work… The QV just cost too much for my current lifestyle. I don’t even consider it. It stays a dream.
A year later, major life changes happen, I’m looking at buying a new Stinger GT outright (in pearl, hers is Black metallic, thought the contrast would look great out front), and just because it’s such a massive purchase, I do my due diligence. Go to Autotrader and other websites, search for sedans with V6 or greater, rear drive, under 50k. A local dealer is selling a red QV for 49k! Wait, what?!? (Ps: that’s my SHO on the right) That car turned out to be a lemon buyback 2017, so I passed, but the fire was lit.
A month of test drives and research later, it happens. I got my dream car. The contrast of color didn’t happen, lol. Oh well.
Have you seen the Guiluia GTAm? Not that I could afford it but I wish it was available here in the US. Its so killer looking. By far the best luxury sports sedan I’ve seen in a long time.
I have! No rear seats though. My son won’t approve, lol.
I’ve driven the Alfa on many Driving events and pushed pretty hard in and out of Canyon roads in California on said events. I did, and Giulia Quad back to back against a Huracan rear wheel drive spider and I couldn’t believe how good the Giulia does when pushed hard
