2 Cars in your garage what would they be?
#16
i think that one of the cars in your garage HAS to be a 911 of some sort
with that stipulated, here is the thought process i followed in choosing its stable-mate:
cannot be a huge step down from 911 in terms of driving dynamics/performance
has to carry much more cargo and 2 more people to cover up the 911's main drawback
not 6MT because the 911 is manual and i don't always feel like driving a manual car
i ended up with a M3 DCT but i see that you need AWD. BMW and Porsche always seem to go together so maybe you should go 911/550xi? CPO Turbo sounds like a great idea because if a new Turbo stretches your budget and you end up with a cheap 2nd car, you'll hate yourself every time you're not driving the Turbo

I have a .2 C4S that is my project show car / weekend fun car and a E55 AMG that I haul *** with daily. My original plan was to drive the 4S all year round but I get too paranoid about taking it work these days so I'm just keeping it as a project car that I enjoy once in a while. For your case, I would get:
First car:
1. Used 997.1 GT3, or if you could afford, go for the .2 GT3
OR
2. Nissan GT-R Black Edition (2012) --> major improvements compared to 09-11 models
Second Car:
1. Audi S4 (if you don't have kids in the back seat)
OR
2. BMW 550i x-Drive with M Sport package (if you have kids)

This a great time to be a car enthusiast with so many great choices out there. Since you are looking for all wheel drive the cars that I would take a serious look at would be:
Bently Continental GT (It has all wheel drive and I heard the car is reliable)
The New BMW M5 (I read that it will come with xdrive option)
Audi S5
Audi S4
Cadilac CTS-V (I dont know if it comes with awd but I do like that car)
MB E550
BMW 550ix
Jaguar
Maserati Quattroporte S
Also dont forget about the Porsche Panamera Turbo or the 4s They are FAST
You cant go wrong with any of these

Now I have a 2010 Prius a 2006 Ford Freestyle and a 2009 911S
If I was forced to make a decision and on two cars for the garage it would probably be
2012 Prius V and the Porsche
The kids are grown and we really only need one vehicle with high mileage features and one for entertainment... and the Porsche is no slouch (sp) when it comes to mileage... I've gotten as much as 25 on the highway....
If only could keep one car then it would be the Prius.... 500+miles on 10 gal.

Work:
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4X4 w/V8, Porsche Cayenne, or BMW X5
Fun:
2012 Porsche C2S; or perhaps a 2011 C4S if you want the widebody & AWD. Then again, a GT3 I would strongly consider also for the "fun" car...

If you enjoy DEs and other motorsports activities with your p car get the newest gt3 you can afford and then an SUV that can tow for every day...
That's where I want to be at some point. SUVs are are way to practical to ignore as a daily driver choice.

Our garage: 2012 GTS, 2002 Audi Allroad, and finally, a pick 'em up truck (Dodge RAM baby ). If had to get down to two, I'ld drop the truck as I'm not hauling as much these days since the house is done and the property has been developed.
