If you had three Christmas car wishes from Santa, what would they be?

1)A yellow Lambo Gallardo SE
2)Aston Martin V12 Vantage/I know it NOT out, but it my presents were talking here.
3)The New Nissan GT-R/it launch control button is so cool.

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year :-)

Lexus

"Aston Martin V12 Vantage"

So, essentially, an Aston Martin DB9?

no, the Vantage RS concept that came out 2 weeks?? ago.

I find sports cars too uncomfortable to get in and out of and not practical for long distance travel so I would wish Bentley to build me a very special aluminum-bodied Arnage RL with Audi's 500 h.p. V12 TDI engine instead of what Bentley normally installs in the Arnage RL. I would want it to be a totally monotone green inside and out and I would get all the environmentalists upset by referring to it as my green machine. This car would have about 20 coats of hand-rubbed 2- or even 3-component polyurethane aircraft paint.

1.i want 2008 evo x
2.i want my evo is hybrid
3.i want the whole to use green car

maybach 62 laundulet (convertible)

Mercedes CL65 AMG in black with tan interior.

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano in sexy red with Italian tan interior.

Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupé in black diamond with cream interior.

Bugatti Veyhron 16.4 - not sure what color to choose :-o

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Safe New Year.

EL34 ;-)

Sorry, I made 4 wishes, but 3 will do!

1. A BMW M5 in silver
2. Let's make iDrive work the way it was intended to work this year.
3. See U.S. car manufacturers give us something we can be proud of. A car that is good at everything so that the articles don't have to say something along the lines of "a great try, with the exception of..."

1. CTS-V

2. Chrysler to dig deep and come up with that one great idea that will save them again.

3. I would like to observe cars from my new apartment on the upper east side...ill go halves

@S4,

you are now officially an idiot, you know that. If NOT I'm letting you know tht you are an idiot S4. Just because I want a Aston Martin V12 Vantage, it does not mean it a DB9.

The Aston Martin V12 Vantage is base on the V8 Vantage except with a V12 instead of a V8.

That like you saying the RS4 is the same as the Audi R8 because they both us the same engine? Come on dude....

There was an article posted on this website, if NOT go to edmund.com and see the Aston Martin V12 Vantage.

Merry Christmas :-(

You are SO annoying.

"The Aston Martin V12 Vantage is base on the V8 Vantage except with a V12 instead of a V8."

Of COURSE I knew that. But think about it this way--the DB9 looks very similar to the AMV8 (and IMO, the DB9 is sexier), and it has a V12 engine instead of a V8. THAT WAS MY REASONING. So before you call me an idiot, think about what's on the screen.

1. A Bentley Brooklands.

2. The resurrection of a car worthy of the name "Duesenberg"

3. A true sneak peak at the new Jaguar XJ.

Perhaps I should change number three as follows:

3. For Jaguar not to screw up the next XJ.

Oops, I forgot:

Happy Holidays!

For Audi to make more super-handling cars!!

For all BMW X6's/Lexus SC's to mysteriously explode

And for me, a simple CLK 63 AMG. (I want 4 seats to be able to carry round adoring friends).

1. twin-turbo diesel engines available across the BMW line-up in the states
2. decreased sales of stupidly large SUVs that waste fuel and increase our dependence on middle eastern oil
3. driver's licenses that require that americans actually be able to drive (you know...like not tailgating, using turn signals, knowing how to park, etc)

1) I want to see the use of drivetrains that can switch from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive, or any other arrangement to maximize vehicle stability during cornering, for most of sport sedans.

2) I want to see cars using futuristic interiors and exterior designs from their concepts as production offerings in future cars.

3) And the car that i want would be the Jaguar XFR with 500 HP and bit more menace in the design than the standard XF, but i don't want the pure design to be lost.

Porsche C4S Cabrio with the power kit in Carrera white with the linen interior and top.
MB S63 in white with grey interior.
Black Range Rover with tan interior.
Oh and I can't forget a Sunseeker 105 with the blue hull and an unlimited gas card...yeah I know its not a car but if Santa is offering!!!
T

Why are you bastards deboosting me for wanting a Porsche a Benz and a Rover???

Maybach 62S/ Black/Beige
Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG/ Black/Beige or Black/Black
Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG/40th Annervesery Colors

I'm a Merc fan! :)

What happened to the Christmas Sprit? Everyone is argueing. All we have to do is list 3 cars that we would like for Christmas.

this article reminds me of the "100,000/50,000 grand christmas bonus check from our boss" one but whatever

1. GTR(fully loaded, santa)
2. BMW X5/X6(just flip a coin for this one)
3. Lexus LS600(daily car btw)

I just got back from an Open House in Tustin Ranch Estates here in OC for a home that's on the market for 4.7 million dollars and in the garage I saw a brand new black Porsche Cayenne Turbo and a red & black Bugatti Veyron.

All I want for Christmas is the 7,526 sqft. home and the 2 cars in the garages :-)

With the price of houses going to the bottom maybe you will get your wish of that Tustin home being yours? the cars forget it, they ain't giving them away ha ha?

Luxury homes in the $3 to $20 million dollar range and higher are selling.

The people that can afford homes like that are not affected one single bit by the sub-prime market.

In fact, many times people pay all in cash for trophy homes in the millions.

LOL

my biggest wish...that autospies would turn the volume down on lexus. so tired of having all the top stories about lexus. and dozens of press releases about a car without new info...

My biggest wish on this site is that all the haters, on all sides, would stop hating, and start discussing cars with a more objective and open mind.

Bumble, what's wrong with you?

Did the dentist pull all your teeth?

What's wrong with me? More like, what's wrong with you?...let me tell you...

1) BMW add LSD's to their non-M models. Especially, the 335i, 535i etc.

2) BMW should admit Run Flats suck, and remove them across the entire line.

3) A 2008 Alpine White M3 Sedan, 6-speed, 19's

Oh yeah, the biggest wish of all.

Dear BMW,

Please bring all your diesel engines over to the USA, and allow me to decide for myself whether or not I want one. More than likely, I would choose the diesel.

" BMW add LSD's to their non-M models. Especially, the 335i, 535i etc."

Great choice.

GTR (way to be original)

LS600 (As I've said before, if you can chew solid food you shouldn't drive a Lexus...Old man)

Merry Christmas

1) 2008 BMW M3 in alpine white
2) All M cars to lose about 200lbs :)

That car manufacturers would STOP USING RED TURN SIGNALS. WTF?! Even BMW now!?

BMW doesnt. If you're talking about the X5/X6/3 series, the glass for he light is red, but when you turn the signals on, its actually orange.

<the glass for he light is red, but when you turn the signals on, its actually orange.>

Not in the United States.

Steve Martin:
If I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season, it would be that all the children to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace.

If I had two wishes I could make this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace. And the second would be for 30 million dollars a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account.

You know, if I had three wishes I could make this holiday season, the first, of course, would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing, the second would be for the 30 million dollars every month to me, and the third would be for encompassing power over every living being in the entire universe.

And if I had four wishes that I could make this holiday season, the first would be the crap about the kids definitely, the second would be for the 30 million, the third would be for all the power, and the fourth would be to set aside one month each year to have an extended 31-day orgasm, to be brought out slowly by Rosanna Arquette and that model Paulina-somebody, I can't think of her name. Of course my lovely wife can come too and she's behind me one hundred percent here, I guarantee it.

Wait a minute, maybe the sex thing should be the first wish, so if I made that the first wish, because it could all go boom tomorrow, then what do you got, y'know? No, no, the kids, the kids singing would be great, that would be nice. But wait a minute, who am I kidding? They're not going to be able to get all those kids together. I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible, more trouble than it's worth!

So -- we reorganize! Here we go. First, the sex thing. We go with that. Second, the money. No, we got with the power second, then the money. And then the kids. Oh wait, oh jeez, I forgot about revenge against my enemies! Okay, I need revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in hell! That would be my fourth wish. And, of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. Thank you everybody and Merry Christmas

McLaren F1...... The Best of the BEST!!!

1. World Peace
2. End to all hunger
3. Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead

That my wife and i wake up Xmas morning and all the cars get either 50mpg or turn the key here nothing but a hum and drive 500 miles on a charge?

1. Bugatti Veyron
2. Lamborghini Murceilago
3. BMW M6 or Mercedes SL65 AMG

does anyone else notice the major deboosting in everyones posts?

Especially if you mention Benz.

It's time Spies got rid of the blog type format and went to a message board.

- 2008 Porsche 911 (997) GT3 tuned by Cargraphic and Champion Motorsport

- 2008 BMW M5 (E60) tuned by Dinan Stage 3

- 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged tuned by OverFinch

- 1978 El Camino
- 1979 Ford Pinto
- 1975 Toyota Celica
- 2000 Pontiac Aztec

=) Now deboost away!!!!

The deboosting in this thread is hilarious!

Um, hello!? These are PERSONAL DESIRES and WISHES. Whoever is deboosting posts simply because they don't have a "LEXUS" in them needs to get a life.

So here's my new list!

1) Lexus LS600h: because it's so green and fuel efficient and can smoke an S600 or even an S65 AMG!

2) Lexus IS-F: because the M3 is a poser car compared this level of refinement, quality and performance for half the price!

3) Lexus LX570: if there is one car to cross the Sahara with, it's this one because it doesn't break down and the fuel economy is so good that you could cross the Sahara twice over!

There! I'm expecting to be boosted up now!

There is only one car that I would want, a black BMW 335xi Coupe with red interior with all the options available.

Here we go

1)Ferrari 430 Scuderia

2)RUF CTR3

3)Can't decide between the 08 Black on Black M3 and the Tesla Roadster, probabley I would go with the roadster since I already own an E46 M3

There have been so many good wishes so far. However, here are three that have not been wished for previously:

1) Ceramic brakes become widely available, or at least available on my new car when it arrives a year from now.

2) That GM, Ford and Chrysler each introduce at least one new car that is much superior to any competing model made by any foreign company. (NOTE: Pickups, SUVs & minivans don't count as "cars" - I consider them "light trucks".)

3) That manufacturers design ALL car interiors so that drivers and front-seat passengers up to 6'6" tall and hips up to 25" inches wide can sit comfortably in their vehicles with their legs fully stretched out, sitting in a full upright position without their heads hitting the ceiling. If the car companies can't design all car interiors like this, at least design the interior of the car that I want to buy to accommodate someone that size. (I'm not quite that tall or wide, but I empathize with big people.)

1. F430
2. GranTurismo
3. GT2

1- Nissan GTR (any color would do)
2- BMW M5 (must be burgundy)
3- Lamborghini Reventón (whatever color it is available in)

1. Bugatti Veyron
2. Ferrari Enzo
3. Lamborghini Reventon

PS-Access to a high speed track would be nice. :)
