If you had to buy a brand new car....

No, but it has to be 'acceptable' for this forum ;D
Don't really want pictures of Vectras and Mondeos!!
Hopefully there'll be some interesting thoughts.

I'd have a DMC Texas brand-new Delorean.... Sadly when I had to make this decision for my company car back in November the MD wasn't interested!

After mulling over this for weeks since I am not at all interested (even remotely) in new cars, I opted for an A3 TDI Sport in white, which should be delivered in March.

Back to sillyness... I'd love one of these when they go into production ('if')





Definitely a potential future classic! I love the way it is so sympathetic to the original design and general 80's Audi styling.

The Audi A5 Coupe is definately my favourite new car, something about the shape reminds me of a Mk1 Capri.

Realistically I'd just buy whatever was most economical and practical, modern cars are dull and samey, Bluemotion Passat estate maybe?

Keeping it realistic, and I'm not a Ford man these days:


Otherwise it would be something stupid like a Porsche/Lambo/Rangie/BMW M/Big Merc (lotto win permitting)

/\ this only not red


although I have to admit being tempted by

Bristol Series 6

I'm sorry, but I couldn't be bothered to actually choose something modern.
If I had to make the choice for a company car I'd get one of these:



... the most amount of space/practicality powered by proven drivetrains you can get for such small money.
No big alloys or small windows, as little electronic helpers as you need (I can switch on the wipers myself, thanks) and more money left over (compared to other repmobiles) to run a retro alongside

Which it would only be replacing if the retro wasn't running or the streets were covered with salt in Winter.

In short: all moderns are soulless, bland looking applications, so the cheapest and least annoying one you can find is the way to go!
- IMHO

Ps: Was shocked by the first post, until I read the rest
They couldn't have properly stopped making them, really?
