Just curious if anyone has given a thought as to what their next car might be?

Will it be the next generation 5 series (codenamed Fxx)?

The next generation 7 series?

Another make - maybe an MB, a Maserati, an Audi or an offering from Japan (Lexus, Infiniti, etc)?

Just curious.

I'm leaning towards either the E90 M3, MZ4 Coupe or the Porsche Cayman S.
That's a tough one to predict now. If I keep my Z06, then I'd likely go for another 5 series--either this generation or the Fxx. What is the predicted arrival date of the Fxx? If I sell my Z06 at any time, then maybe another Z06 or another 5 series--either this generation or the Fxx. If the M5 turns out to be a low 12 sec. car, then maybe an M5 rather than the others. I don't think the M5 will be faster than 12.6 though. Some AMGs, above the C55, and other M cars also are in the running.

I'd like a fun convertible to be my next purchase. I think the only option is a Lotus Elise. Now if only I had the cash...

I am saying that because the only time I will get a Kia is when my car is in the shop and the insurance company give you like $20 a day to rent a car.

For that price, I will take a nice motorcycle
