Thumbs up OK after your current 996 what is your next car?

OK your current ride is the 996, so what is your next car?

A good question since I like to trade cars every year or two. I have this vision of trying different versions and maybe brands. Since we typically deal in used cars this should be easy, right.

The only problem is what brand can I go to that will offer me the performance and everthing else as a Porsche? And I cannot afford most things from Italy.

Anyway, my next idea would to move to a Coupe, perhaps C4, perhaps a Twin Turbo! ...Dream Big!

How about you?

Last Year - 2004 - S2000 (fun) / Today - 1999C2 CAB (expensive-much more fun) / Tomorrow - ??? (broke) LOL

Our plan is to keep the 996 C4S and get a vintage (1980s) cab for the summer and for "less than optimum" destinations . . . (gravel roads, trips to the stable, etc.)

I have actually had my current car for about 2 years now...got to be a record for me.

I can't see making the upgrade anytime soon, but when I do it will be a TT...only questions is 993 or 996 or 997? Probably go with the 996 due to overall value and daily drive-ability.

Haha me too. I had 2 E46 M3s and got rid of them quick and those cars are great. That shows me how much better a Porsche is. I would love a Turbo I cant see getting away from Porsche so if it isnt a Porsche I would like a Ferrari or a Aston Martin. But Im dreaming unless I hit the Lottery

I had an E46 M3 for 10 months before I traded it in for the 996 C4S. I've only had it for 3 months, and now I'm looking at the 997 GT3.

tough question... i just bought the C4S this past december. next car will be replacing my wife's SUV. probably another small SUV or crossover. by the time my turn rolls around again, they may have worked the kinks out and lowered the price of the tesla.

I will probably keep my present 996 and in addition buy the 2004 anniversy edition with 345 hp and add a supercharger...I like long car relationships....I had my last Porsche 15 years and felt guilty when I sold it....I'm not a 1 night stand kind of guy.....
