A rare tC enjoyer! I had an 08 tC from 2016 to January of this year and it was an absolutely fantastic car. It never once failed me, cranked up first try and never even had any maintenance issues other than drinking oil up until I put some additives in it one time. A very practical and fun car and practical unless you have adults to put in the back seat. I sold it in near perfect condition this year to an 18 year old kid for 5500 USD and made him promise to take care of it. After I sold the Scion I bought a 22 Miata RF which has been my (achievable) dream car since the ND came out in 2016. The car has absolutely lived up to expectations, without a doubt the most fun car I’ve ever driven, my friends FR-S and SS Camaro can kick rocks. The only thing I don’t love is the machine grey color but I have a dark green wrap picked up that will nip that in the bud. Finally my actual dream car is the lotus Elise/Exige. Im 6’2 and can’t get enough of cars that I barely fit in. It seems like a Lotus is the perfect upgrade from a Miata but unlike the Mazda couldn’t be my only car so I’d need a daily. Haven’t figured that part out yet but I’m thinking maybe an Audi wagon. Not a huge fan of German cars but it’s hard to argue the mix of luxury and performance the Audis offer.

Here’s a picture of my Scion

1976 Datsun 240z. I would want to give it all modern internals, but that body design is perfection in my eyes.

If I had unlimited money I would basically pull the engine and drivetrain out of a 5th Gen supra and cram it in there.

All I need is like 200k in cars, parts and labor then my dream can be a reality lol

Pagani Huayra. Whoever thought of putting active aero flaps on the hood so the driver can see them is a GOD.

Here’s the video of the active aero boot up sequence.

Here’s them in action on a track with cockpit view.

1930 Deusenberg Model J

'59 peugeot 403 convertible

I fell in love with Mopars back when I was a teen. My maybe attainable dream car if I didn’t have kids and crappy health insurance is a 1971 Plymouth Cuda. Well maybe if I cloned it from a later model.

True dream - 1970 Plymouth Superbird

Lotus Elise in attention whore yellow

except I can actually fit in it. total dream.

I’ve always dug the Renault r5 turbo

Apparently they’re making a new one but electric (so not actually turbo but whatever) which looks pretty bonkers

Jaguar XJ220 in the OG silver or British Racing Green

There are sooooo many more…they are ALL my dream car. All of them, in some special way.

I used to own a 2014 Ford Flex (Titanium trim). It started to wear down and eventually would have cost more to fix than it was worth.

If I could get an updated version of that vehicle, ideally with an EV conversion, I would be so happy. I ended up getting a 2024 Ford Edge, which is fine and came with a 0% interest promo, but is comparatively very disappointing. I tried to get an Explorer, which does appear to be a modernized Flex, but I live in a rural area and there were none realistically nearby given that it was a somewhat urgent situation.

Geez do I miss the Flex every time I leave my house.

Also, I suspect that this answer doesn’t fit the general vibe of this thread, but I’m answering the question literally so I’m sticking with it.

edit: I do also own and enjoy a '79 Corvette, in case that helps with the last part! It used to be my dream car, but also it serves a very different purpose from what my Flex did.

[USA] To mirror your TC goal, I’d say my “buy it now” car was probably the Mercury Marauder. Simply speaking, a Mustang Cobra engine stuck into a Crown Vic pursuit. If you’re under 25 and/or non-American, you probably didn’t experience the Panther body being THE police car for a decade. However, I never bought one. I inherited a Lincoln LS and have had it over 10 years. An American take on the European look, less power, and superb handling make it lovable to me.

My version of your FeBReZeS dream is probably a Pontiac G8//Chevy Caprice pursuit/Chevy SS. Again, simply speaking, a corvette engine stuck in an Australian family sedan, but with decent handling. While less enticing this far past production, I’d throw Mercedes E55 or early E63 into this cohort.

Unobtainable dream: Anything from Pagani (engineered art) or Koenigsegg (artistic engineering). Jaguar XJ220 is in there as well.

Under, say, $200k USD currently? 99ish Viper GTS, obviously in blue with white stripes. The 2016 Viper is in there too as what I consider an acceptable homage to the original shape. I’ve also come around on the Gallardo. I just love the sound of a V10, especially one that’s odd-firing such as the Viper or half the Gallardos.

Honorable mentions: Jaguar F-type. While the V8 sounds amazing, I’d probably choose a V6 manual since the cars on this list are meant to maximize enjoyment, not necessarily practical or the fastest around a track. Powerful cars haven’t been as enticing since I picked up a few motorcycles. 1969 Mustang is easily my favorite year ever. 1967 Ford Galaxie has some excellent body lines IMO. Lotus Elise. Probably Amy Porsche 911, assuming the 2006 I drove was representative of the excellent driver dynamics present in all 911s.

Pretty stoked about Aptera.

As far as cars that are currently available go, maybe the Audi R8.

Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6 Cabriolet

Caterham 7 SV. Probably one of the lower trims
