Default Dream Cars, Realistic and not so realistic

My fault if a topic like this exists. I searched and found nothing. but i was just wondering what some of you guys want as far as cars go. I mean I'm sure scions are not our DREAM cars. So I figure'd i'd start a topic talkin about what cars you would like to get, which you will, and which you'll keep on dreamin.

I'll start

Car I'll probably stay dreamin about

Pagani Zonda.

Cars I'll definitely buy in the future

1) BMW M5. Once i need to trade my car for a more practical family car, I'm getting one of these.
2) 98' Ferrari 550 Maranello.

I would have to say that an actual car that im going to get in the future has to be a new STi since it has been proven on top gear that it will beat an Evo in a hot lap.

As for a non-realistic dream car it has to be none other than the Carrera GT. That car is just a badass machine.

I should've added the Carrera GT as well...that thing sounds like a formula car when it revs up.

Just out of curiousity, why an Elise if you got a Lotus? The Exige S is the more "performance" oriented version of the two (although they probably both perform well). To each his own I guess, I'm not bashing your car choice by any means! It just seems that every time somebody is like "Dude I want a Lotus!" it's always the Elise...

Atleast the atom 2 was I'm not sure about the atom 3. It was because it didn't have a windshield.
