If you could swap the vehicle(s) in your current fleet with with any new vehicle(s) from the same manufacturer (or something from their back catalogue) what would you have?

We currently have a Toyota Corolla Sport and a 2013 Honda Civic EX.

Something like a new CRV/RAV4/Accord Tourer would best meet our family needs but a bit boring and I would be cautious about "pulling the trigger" on a diesel at the moment, even if it is free!

Pretty easy choice then, as nothing in their current ranges really excites me (even the GT86 and Civic Type-R), so a couple of old-school "heroes" and we can enjoy travelling as a family in convoy!

For my wife, a black Honda NSX-R



and for me a white Toyota Supra TT manual and I expect I'll need to turn the wick up a bit to keep up with her!



So, without changing manufacturer, what would you swap your current car(s) for (or would you keep the one(s) you have)?

Nice, what marks?

How are you liking the ST (turbocharged one)? I'm not really into Fords but that is one of the few Fords that I would consider buying.

Current: 987.2 Boxster & Audi A6 estate (C6 model)
Swap for: 997.2 GT3 (my dream car above all others) & Audi RS6 estate (C7 model)

Wife has a Mini Cooper but she can 'make do' as she takes no care of that let alone anything newer and more expensive.

More than happy to continue with my XK but if I had to have something with more seats/carry large items frequently, then an XFR-S Sportbrake would come in handy. XJ-13 if none of that is needed biggrin

I'd swap my Ford Ranger for a Ford GT40 thanks.

I'd swap my TVR Cerbera 4.5 for a Cerbera Speed Twelve.

I'd swap my old Jag X-Type for an XJ13, the S-Type for an XJR-15 and my XFR-S for a new XJR.

I'd struggle with the Midget, but may swap for a TF (original).

Well, if you're buying, my Giulietta QV for a 4C Spider please! Unless I can go used, in which case an 8C Spider or, if you're feeling VERY generous, a 33 Stradale...

So:

Groovy.
