1. Freelander (The new type, for wife and general family duties)
2. Alfa Brera (Wanted one for ages, just for fun and always clean)
3. Van (not sure which probably a bongo with a roof tent, for the bikes)
What say You.
1. Porsche 911 carrera 4
2. Double cab pickup of some sort or other
3. Small family car for sensible stuff.
Just the porka to buy then.
1. Big Audi SUV for the family
2. RS4/6 for biking
3. Porche 911 Carrera in black, for playing with.

If money wasn't a limiting factor:
1) RR Sport
2) BMW M5 Touring
3) Aston DB7
Now back to down to Earth realistically it will be a 330d or 335d Touring one size fits all this time next year.
Does most of it - work vehicle, bike carrier, top end family motor with all the toys, performs like a 'warm' hatch. Don't get me wrong, I'd have three specific sorted motors given half the chance, but this one don't do bad...

top end family motor
Is that really your idea of 'top end'?
I despair.
Volvo XC70 D5
Aston Martin Vantage
Volkswagen T4 camper conversion
Ok, middling then Flashy. Granted a Merc, Porsche, or Bentley it ain't - not a lot it wants for in gadgets and comfort though.
Real world 1 large estate or saloon with a towbar
Fantasy world add a 911 Carrera 2.
If that was a blue light on top, then I'd be aroused. Orange though just doesn't do it for me.
Mine would be:
Audi RS6 for all the family stuff
Toyota 2000GT for some good old-fashioned fun
VW T5 Sportline day van (long wheelbase) for family/biking trips requiring space over speed and other lugging duties.
Maserati Quattroporte for posh outings and driving down to the yacht in Biarritz, that kind of thing.
One of them estate BMW M5s for bike/kids/dogs/general tootling about.
Caterham R600 for weekend hoons.
Back in the real world, I think we do fine with the Jeep and the Batmobile.
STR, have you done any real world mpg tests on the navara ?
Working towards it now
VW California for general camping and bike lugging
993 Turbo 4 or 997 Carrera 4s for some fun
Subaru outback for kid transportation
