What would you ever replace your Subaru with?

Reality: I'd replace my WRX with an 08+ STi or a Legacy GT, assuming I have a little healthier income at the point of replacement I LOVE my WRX and don't really have any desire to own anything different, nothing has the same value/practicality/appeal to me, at this time.

Dreaming: I'd replace my WRX with an 08+ STi as well as a 2010 Camaro SS, Nissan GTR, and a T-72 MBT (yeah, why not? I'm dreaming, anyway).

 

I'd replace my Subaru with anything that has a timing chain......

Realistically a Suzuki SX4?

 

I'm kinda biased towards All Wheel Drive now. So I'd have to pick either another Subaru, or those new Audi's with the led headlights.

 

after looking at the new Ford Raptor at ojibwe this past weekend that is one cool looking and sounding pickup.

 

Le gto

 

Wow, definitely. I'm not usually a truck aficionado but that thing is pretty badass. I want one! :yumyum:

 

If it could be any car... and no problems with it being here in the states... I'd choose this:

 

RS4 all the way. But I would want the newest version, naturally, then get the MTM supercharger kit.

timing belts ftl specifically Subaru timing belts.

 

i like!

 

No, thats ignorant! subarus are probably the easiest cars to put timing belts in EXPECIALLY YOURS

 

agreed!

 

My plan is to either keep my STI for a winter car/daily driver or get rid of it and get a 328 X-drive. For a summer/fun car I will get a Lotus Exige S 240. First I have to get out of engineering school and then I can afford to have more than one nice car and by that time I am sure my plan will change.

 

Crap, forgot all about that truck! Editing my post. That would be a great secondary/utility vehicle!

 

335i or xi

 

just trying to make excuses to get another car :laugh:

 

Well as you can see I am a little partial to the LGT, best car I have ever owned. Just glad I bought a radar detector. :iconpolice:

BUT... If I had money.....:yumyum:

 

Meh, a lot of potential cars could easily replace a Subaru. It's simply a matter of features and how well the end total package fits your wants and needs. If I didn't chance across my current Forester, I'd very likely be driving a Scion tC right now which is a very nice car itself. The 2.4L and 5sp brought over from the Camery works really well and offers a similarly powerful and wide power band as the Subaru 2.5L. It's also apparently friendly to boosting, although, I'm not sure to what extent with stock internals. The handling and ride was quite good and stable when I test drove it. It was also the quietest cabin level of any car I've ever been in, surprisingly. The fwd is a deterent though, as is the hatchback design if you frequently have tall rear passengers. It also comes stock with RE92 tires. I don't know why so many companies keep tossing those tires on: Subaru, Toyota, Honda...

 

Or this, gotta love the headlights...

 

I dunno, those look a little phallic to me...

 

yes please.........

 

I have four top pics, in no particular order-
1) 87-89 4th generation civic SI hatchback
2) 2009 Maserati Granturismo S
3) 2010 Evolution X FQ 400
4) Dodge Challenger SRT 8

Yes, I would love driving a differetn car every day of the week and yes that is Seven vechicles for the summer and Seven more vehicles for the winter.

 

DD - Grand Cherokee Diesel - modded
Fun - Porsche 911 turbo
newer STi somewhere in there of course

 

I'd replace my LGT with whatever had my serious attention at the time.

 

From my 92 Legacy L I'd like to go to an Impreza 2.5 RS early 2000's or an 05 LGT

 

i'll replace my 96L coupe with these:
1st gen G35 coupe
G37 coupe
R35 GTR
any NSX
02-03 wrx
06-07 wrx TR

 

02 twin turbo rhd skyline

 

Other than a subie (i wouldnt replace i'd just have these as other cars sitting around):

90 CRX - Already have it, just have to finish it... Somedays I just have to have drive a honda, for some weird reason I like the slammed on the ground, rides like ****, annoyingly loud, swerve around potholes, vtec cracking cruise now and them, lol..

E34 BMW - Preferably an M5 but a 535 or 540 would work.. comfortable luxury ride with power... Good road trip car or something where you want to "arrive in style" and it's pretty much timeless

FC RX-7 - One of the first imports I ever wanted.. Nothing like a turbo rotary being revved out or the lopping idle of ported ones, they drive and handle amazing, and good for when u wanna go sideways...

Late 80's early 90's toyota truck - For when stuff needs to be hauled.. and for when the **** gets too deep for a scoob... lol

 

I would gladly replace my 05' LGT wagon with a spec B sedan any day,

 

Kind of hilarious side note:

My brother won a contest on youtube where he gets to drive around a 2011 Euro model Fiesta for 6 months (gas & insurance included).

I got to drive it and have to say it was pretty impressive for what it was. Interior was a little too alien/future looking, but it has a high compression variable valve timing 4 banger that had not pathetic punch.

I wouldn't buy one, but a pretty nice compact car.

 

I'm going to replace one of my Subarus with another Subaru.

 

this is unheard of.

 

Yeah, the only reason I'm asking is because I should have a solid few more years left on the WRX, but I can see my money situation being pretty good by the time I need to replace it.

This is mostly having to do with upping the luxury situation a bit.

 

This 335i is looking pretty sweet.

As much as I love the M3, I don't know that I could really ever afford a $55k-$65 car. No matter how hard I try.

But still, like the NYT said:

 

I just got one of those. Sadly, it's not as fast as you might think

 

all of these:

 

seriously matt? a mustang II? the biggest pile of dump on the planet? A complete abortion that even ford appologizes for?

 

pfff it looks good :yumyum: thats all that matters! id rather have the super snake though....750 horsepower of godlike amazingness


edit: can you tell i like ford and toyotas much?

 

Furthermore I'll get in on this. I like old cars.

 

mmmmm a 442 i like


jerry was a racecar driver....movin' so god damn fast...

 

I would have to to say a 71 trans am with the 454 big block option white with the blue racin strips

 

What ever it was would have to be AWD. Short list is 07-08 S4 or newer 335XI. If I end up holding on to the STI for another few years they maybe an RS4..

 

Me too.
