Same - my ideal spec would be the blue with CF accents. Looks great. I much prefer this to the G70 / stinger which would also be contenders for my replacement car. I always liked Hondas - my first 2 cars were Hondas, and now I have the S2k for my manual fix as well.
I hate the buttons for shifting as well - but we just gotta get used to it. Nobody puts real shifters anymore

The new TLX was also revealed today and I actually really like it. To me it looks better than the stinger or genesis. I also always loved the way the old TL-S looked. I just hope this car has the performance to back it up.

I've already been turning into somewhat of a hermit these last few years, working at home and all, with access to two other cars. Add to that the conditions of the last 3 months with the pandemic, and I'm simply not driving my G. I've got no where to go. It's been 3 weeks since I upgraded my brakes, and I'm probably all of 20 miles into this 500 mile break-in period.
With respect to "next car", I guess what I'm saying is that now I'm wondering why I have this car at all, much less what my next car will be.
I think my life will have to significantly change before I can start caring about what car I'm driving, if at all.

2016+ BMW 340i 6MT RWD
The BMW 340i 6MT is destined to be my G37 Sedan replacement.
6MT RWD Turbo 6 CYLY. M Performance steering wheel.
M performance wheels.
M performance exhast.
Alternate view.
- Almost as fast as the G on paper
- Probably faster in real life
- Great fun ratio. fun = hp/(curb x curb) -- FOR YOUR INFORMATION --
- Best RWD manual sedan that is not a BMW M car or Cadillac V car

I feel you John. Mine hasn't moved since March - I'm wasting all this sub-$2 gasoline out there. I think our gas budget went from $250/month down to... Well, I filled up the CX5 last in April. So $12? I've put more mileage on my mountain bike than the G, which sounds healthy but really isn't all that great.
Pandemic. Riots everywhere (my office, where I wasn't working at, just closed down again due to riots across the street), Homeschooling. I think my next vehicle might be a sailboat filled with survival food, and come back and check on things in a few years.

The Viper is on my 'wish list' of cars to own so I took the opportunity to drive a 17' Viper GTC the other day. As I imagined, the car manages to put the power down very well making the acceleration quite brutal. No drama, it just sticks and goes. Suspension is quite stiff and jarring, not as plush as the Corvettes I've driven however I don't think I would mind it. Interior is quite nice however it is tight for my 6'4" frame. Seems to have similar space as the C7 but with more headroom. Maybe I just didn't have enough seat time to get comfortable. Overall, it was everything I imagined and more. If I can get one in the 60k range one day, I would consider it but reality is I really need a 4 seater with the baby on its way. It won't stop me from dreaming however!
In other thoughts, driving a car like this makes the G feel completely gutless.

I wish they actually manufactured the Alfa Romeo Diva. I remember when the concept arrived in 2006 and I really hoped back then that they would have made it. Looks like a baby Enzo. The side mirrors are a bit of an issue though since it looks weird being high up. I would drive a machine like that everyday. But, it would be prone to breaking since it is an Alfa. It came with a 3.2 liter V6. It would have been better if they used a F136 V8 from Ferrari.

I forgot to post up about the upcoming Mustang Mach 1 last week. It looks like it could have even more power than the GT350 and it is supposed to be the most track focused N/A Mustang. I wonder if the new Z will be competitive with this car. https://carbuzz.com/news/2021-ford-m...l-than-bullitt
