I remember once taking a bus from Amsterdam to Rotterdam (obviously in Holland). We passed a large IKEA store. I said to my wife, "It's a small country. Someone has to furnish it."
Ordered a 2022 CT5-V Blackwing. Delivery date up in the air due to the chip shortage.
I am picking up my 2021 BMW X5 tomorrow; I was really impressed with the performance of the turbocharged inline-six engine.

Vehicle arrived and got it yesterday. A month or so between ordering the car and getting it. The new car has no CD player, as these are apparently obsolete since "everyone" uses I-Tunes. I called the insurance company to take the old car off the policy and put the new one on, and because of some safety equipment on the new Subaru, and because I no longer really drive for work except commuting, that is, no business use for the vehicle, my premium is going down by about $100 per year.
Toyota Rav4 is my option. I think I need to use the service like this https://justbloans.com/ to buy it this year
2023 BMW X7 M sport 40i
I wanted to try out a Subaru Crosstrek this past Saturday, but the dealer didn’t have any available - not even a loaner or demo. I did drive the Hyundai Tucson. Pretty nice but felt bigger than I need. Honda Accord Sport is on the list of possibilities.
2017 PORSCHE 718 BOXSTER. Anyone driving this car already? Would you like to share your feedback? Just found a recall list for this model https://www.recallslist.com/porsche/718-boxster/2017/ and a little concerned about the fuel leak issue. Curious how many car owners actually have it. Appreciate your answers.
Waiting for the Blackwing I ordered 8 months ago
I am driving Audi A6 right now

I forgot I posted in this thread. Ended up with the Kia K5 GT-Line AWD Sedan. Happy with it.
Forgot BMW X7 M
Acura RDX. When saw this car, I just fell in love. It looks amazing and offers all the needed features and space I need for me and my family. Currently, I'm test-driving it, but I've already checked the reviews of Acura financial services here and I'm going to buy it.
Was looking at a Bugatti Chiron. See, https://www.caranddriver.com/bugatti/chiron
Decided on a Subaru instead.

Just purchased a 2022 Honda Pilot EX-L. They had the '23 models on the lot and were looking to get rid of the last of their '22 inventory. Didn't get a great deal but the trade-in value of my '17 Honda Pilot was above Kelly Blue Book, so that made the deal palatable.
Just ordered my '23 SQ5. Hopefully it'll arrive some time this year.
Saw that Rolls Royce came out with an EV. https://www.wired.com/review/r...rolls-royce-spectre/
It's about $400,000, but look at the money you save on gas!
Nothing. My 2017 Honda Civic has a whopping 37K miles. Think I am putting on maybe 5000 miles a year - probably less

Can't buy. Too long for the garage. Keep buying gas!

Great choice. Waiting for the A6 Etron
