What your "must haves" for your next car?

After owning the TSX for about 10 months now i've realized a few things about my next car...

1- it will not be FWD
2- it will be capable of reaching 60mph in under 6 seconds
3- It will have bluetooth
4- it will have Navi
5- it will have xenons
6- it will have at least 6 cylinders
7- it will have at least 3 pedals

That is all for now, but this list is subject to change

1. Will be manufactured by either Honda, Toyota, or Nissan (if they can fix their damn interiors).
2. Must be FWD or AWD
3. Must have sunroof, heated leather seats, cool looking gauges, memory seats, and nav.
4. Will be any transmission that is NOT a conventional automatic with a torque converter. (ie: DSG/SMG types are okay, but prefer traditional manual).
5. Must be fuel efficient (this is a big one).
6. Must be inexpensive to operate while still being a luxurious ride.

I hope Honda is listening because they don't offer what seems like most people around here want, RWD.

But what do we know, we're only their customers.

RWD (or awd)...

I'd like it to be lighter then the CLS, but we'll have to see what the automakers are going to do in the next couple of years. Can't wait to see if BMW brings an M2 to the USDM.

Me too. I would be very interested in it if they did (along with everyone else).

As far as must haves go:
- 300hp+ (unless Cayman S)
- leather seats
- rwd
- place to put the sunglasses

Thus the early list for Break the Bank Day 2006 is:
- C6 Z51
- E92 335CI/I
- Cayman S
- 550I
- C55
- Z4M (if they make it)
- M2
