To everyone answering GT-R...make sure to drive it first! I've driven my boss' GT-R a few times and it truly is disgustingly fast, but around town it's kind of boring and feels a bit too familiar after driving the G.

I'm leaning towards something that feels lighter on its feet. I'm thinking of taking the Porsche plunge for my next car, but test driving other vehicles might change my mind. Either way the G will remain my baby for at least another year or two.

It's not "just a mustang" nor is it "a mustang on steroids".

I've been wanting one for years...

I have to disagree. I NEVER find the GTR boring and actually the "G" is a better around town car. Both are a blast to drive.

As far as my next car, I'm thinking about trading in the Mag for an '11 Charger, still undecided tho.

I'm with you on the fact that the G is better around town, but we'll have to disagree on the boring aspect. In regular driving I found the GT-R frustrating. It doesn't feel light and nimble puttering through the city, and I spent the whole time itching to get an opportunity to give it some gas. On the other hand...the GT-R on an on ramp or open highway is the greatest automotive experience I've had thus far.

I do still think the GT-R is an amazing car and worthy of the Godzilla nickname. I've got a free pass to borrow the GT-R for a weekend, so I'm waiting until a nice clear weekend when I have nothing to do but enjoy the hell out of it!

I'll be picking up my first G on Saturday. I'm trading in a F150 so it will be a big change.

I test drove a new A4 and A5 but you can absolutely not beat the IFS lease rates. An Audi with the same sticker as a G37 cost ~200 more a month... The residual was around 50% for 36 month term.

I have 3 years to decide what I'll want next.

BMW 1 Series M Coupe or Audi TTS Coupe are the early front-runners but it'll probably be another 12 months before I get a new car, there may be a few new cars out by then that can pique my interest

Nice choice, I like how Porsche put the 6mt in the cayenne GTS, that thing looks amazing. My cousin has an 04 Cayenne Turbo with an ECU flash, that thing is insane, puts out like 560 BHP, hes never let me drive it but Ive been inside it during a very mild pull, and it was crazy. He's actually beat numerous cars including an e92 m3.

2012 Jeep SRT-8. Currently have an 07 and it is insane off the line. The 2012 will be another 80+hp (500+) and have an 8 speed automatic. The only other cars I like are the Vipers.... owned an 04 and I really miss that car. Or the CTS-V coupe.

I'll have the Infiniti G56 if it's out by then, or the GT-R if it still exists

A g56 would be great the price markup would be insane!! It would be heading into M3territory, and by the time your in that range, whos gonna stick to Infiniti? Ill say that if the car is built properly and as dependable as other Infiniti products before it I would!!

I'd like to keep the G for quite sometime. If I were to replace my G, I'd end up with a new CTS-V sedan.
