ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

So guys and girls, what do you want for your next car?

I don't mean what your dream car is, I mean what you're hoping to get next time

I know plans often don't eventuate, but I'm planning to keep my lancer for a long time and to get a second car as a weekender. I'm waiting on the Toyota FT-86 and all the final info (especially price), as next time I want a nimble RWD car. (I don't even know if its coming to Oz yet ).



If not, theres always skylines and silvias, but they're old and thrashed mostly...

I think I would change from power to sheer drive-ability and fun. Just like your statement Jake, I would go down the nimble path.

Probably a Lotus Exige or Elise - the car I was set to buy instead of the Ralliart in 2008. Couldn't afford a new Exige, so would go for a 5 year old one with low k's. As for the Elise, I think I like the 2002-2010 shape over the new 2011's. And for only 100kw's of power it can still do the 0-100 in 6.5 secs which is about what stock Ra's can do anyway. The Exige can do it around the 4.6 mark.




With that being said, I would also wait to see the specs and price of the FT-86, the Subaru counterpart, news of the Hyundai Genesis coming to Aus.

If I was downgrading to a car around the 25k or less I would test drive the Kia Koup as it looks decent as well.

For me it is the Alfa 4C.

I fell in love as soon as I saw it and then I read up on it and now I'd sell my lancer, my computer and pretty much everything else I own to get one (I'll probably have to do just that )

My gf is very upset because she wants me to buy a house, but how can you pass up a RWD, 1.75ltr turbo charged, Italian beauty that weighs in at only 850kg? It is like the Supermodel of the car world!!!

A bit pic heavy, but I'm sure you will understand

I just hope it comes here at a price that is realistic....

2012 GTR

I've always said 123d:


Though the rumours of a A3 sedan got me thinking:


But I too admit the FT86 would be a real attractive option:

The FT86 is an option for me. Will see come May 2012

Having worked for a Toyota dealer, I'll let you know that not only will the FT-86 be released, so will the FT-HS a few months later. The HS is a hybrid version that is going to gain 60Kw more power than the 86, aswell as reducing fuel costs.

Just something to think about.

Thanks for the update

There ya go!

I think I just did something in my pants

I think I had the same reaction the first time I saw it.

However, my next car would have to be:



A Skyline GTR

Re: R35 GTR

Compulsory Servicing every 5000km at a Nissan Dealership. No option.

That I cannot accept. So I'll have to pass on that.
I may like the look and idea of driving one but it isn't practical as a daily driver.

I don't mind that too much. I know a few people in the car industry now, brings some prices down for me. Every 5,000k, yeah, it's pretty frequent, but for me, that's only 4 days a year that I'd be without it. Not really much issue as it'd mean I'd have it for 361 days a year.

i wouldnt get a R35 for what Ofey has said, 5000ks services, plus the engines are hand built and not 2 engines are the same so getting parts will be a pain in the backside.

Plus they are UGLY and driving it would be like playing GT5, just wayyyy too much computerized

Didn't know there were so many rich users

realistically R34 GT-R or late 60's camaro, I'm really good with money.
