Normally i dont care for looks too much in a car that i want to actually use, But the forms of the sedan are just absolutely perfect  Just look at that rear:  (and i am not even an ass man ...)
There are a few interesting ones around, but with the too small engine, that eats too much of the wrong fuel …
+ they are all the first models, without the airbags and the rear headrests.
Just get it anyways, and resell if its too much of an expense?
What would you do?

No thanks. I'd rather sleep in my drivers seat. However when i will become old and thin skinned i might rethink that

Finally, an Aston Martin. Until now, all I could think was, "What is wrong with these peoples' dreams?"
That said, how could you pick the one Aston Martin model that looks like an Oldsmobile?

Also it is totally futuristic (and not really practical, or actually working well, but thats not the issue with dream cars ...) and not just a sports car, but actually a car that one could (theoretically) use as a everyday car, or go on a climbing trip with 4 people.
But its way to expensive anyways, so itll stay a dream.
Now i have to find out how my dream car i aquired yesterday will turn out. 1989 Mercedes-Benz W124 200E.
Metallic-Gold, with - i think its called - sand interior and oldschool rims. P.I.M.P. or classic?

One cool thing about hemis... They were designed primarily with fuel economy in mind. Of course that was in terms of what an airplane uses and not an automobile...

few months ago a friend of mine showed me a new design for an engine that blow my mind away. This thing was combination of piston and vankel engine with an amazing power output. he is after the patent now and it could be a revolution in the engine industry.

CHeap on gas?
If you have money for any of these cars, cheap gas is the least of your concern.
