You have to live with it for the next 10 years, so practicality must be a consideration.
Personal preference would be this bad boy -  What's your [brain enters "let's keep it real" mode] choice? |

Out of everything available in the automotive world today, I think I would go a Raptor Dual Cab or a Toyota Tundra. A dual cab ute suits me very well and a V8 would make it just that much nicer.

My choice is the XR50 that I have already had for 4 years so far. Practical, inexpensive, reliable, carries larger loads due to the large opening between the boot and cabin, and very comfy behind the wheel over long distances with an attractive and uncomplicated interior that easily carries 4 adults with room to spare. |

A two door car with four seats.
Like Olivia Newton-John said, let's get practical. |

Two door cars with four seats are practical if there is only you plus one or plus one with two small littlies.
I find the 635 extremely practical for long distance touring and hooning around town. Cheers Vincenzo

Hmmm, tuff call, gotta live with it for 10 years...... and be practical ?
taking into account being old and decrepit................ nearly ! the younger fun passionate part of my grey matter says XR8, or a G6ET, or an XR6 T ............... The older decrepit part that tells me my bones are hurting when i get into or out of a lowish vehicle and goes Oow when sitting in same limo with firm suspension hitting a good melbourne pot hole tells me get something with soft suspension and some ground clearance for easier entry /egress for a couple of old farts. i wouldnt mind a big lexus luxo banger LX570 2.8 tons of it, towing capacity 3.5 tons with 5.7 litre dohc http://www.lexus.com.au/lx570/build-...odgrain---look |

I wouldn't mind one of the new Mustangs, though more realistically I love the Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ.
Hired one for 24 hours a month or so ago and took it for a run down the coast. LOVED it, didn't want to hand it back!! If I had the room to keep it, I'd buy one now, but I won't part with my XR6.  IMG_0341 by misrabelle, on Flickr Of course if money was no object, then I'd have an Aston Martin Vantage V12. In White Pearl  .

Victory Gold FGX XR8 would be on the list....
SVT Raptor too.... Bit of a fan of the just-gone E63 AMG Wagons - not the brand spanking new ones, IMO they ruined the styling. Can't go past an RTV Wagon either....... oh, that's right!

Ram 2500 Cummins 6.7 (Longhorn). Limited to just one? If not i'll take a Hellcat 6 speed manual and a Pipistrel Panthera plane too.

Perhaps the 4 door Hellcat sedan, to be on the practical side.....

 In white or the green in the background, I wouldn't have the black wheels on a white car though, silver matches best on white cars. |
