So I got thinking, what's the best 3 car garage you can make with this criteria:

1) all cars must be by the same manufacturer
2) you must be able to walk into a dealer and buy all 3 cars new today
3) no price limit

Instant fail on the 918 as you can't buy one 'new' (as Porsche have sold-out, anything you buy is 'used' - you're the 2nd owner)??

I mean there are delivery miles Rover 75s out there but that's not 'new' either ;0

My attempt at breaking the system might be

Audi RS6 - practical load/dog carrier
Lamborghini Huracan - for trackdays (mods obv)
Bugatti Chiron - because why not?

Same 'manufacturer'? smile

XJR - weekday car
FPace S (3.0 supercharged- I assume they have them on sale now)- family hauler
F type SVR - weekend car

That would do for me!

Hmm, I struggle. In a three car garage I'd want:

A lightweight open-top sports car with a naturally aspirated engine and manual gearbox.
A petrol family hatch (or a smallish SUV would do) with decent performance and economy (say 150bhp/tonne and 40mpg on NEDC).
Something interesting and very different in character from the above two.

If Mazda release another rotary engined car to fulfil the last role they'd do. As it stands I'd maybe ditch the "Lightweight" bit and go for Ford with a drop-top Mustang daily, a GT for "interesting" and a Focus ST or RS for family duties. smile



ETA: If the wife is allowed to have a car from a different manufacturer for family duties, I'd go Lotus with an Exige V6; an Evora and a 3-11 but that's probably cheating.

If i didn't need to tow or carry big things around its dead easy for me:

Lotus Evora
Lotus Elise
Lotus 3-Eleven

If I had to retain the need to carry things and tow things I can't answer the question biggrin Every manufacturer who makes desirable practical saloons doesn't make a sports car I'd want.

Lovely selection otherwise.
