What do you consider the perfect car?
I know a lot of people have different ideas of what their perfect car would be. I want to know what your perfect car would be.
My perfect car
1) Good looking coupe from every angle
2) Powerful V8 that gets over 40mpg
3) Has the best handling of any production car ever made
4) Able to seat 4 people over 5'10'' comfortably
5) Luxurious interior
6) Same dimensions as a C63 AMG Coupe
7) Has better reliability than a Subaru
8) And of course really fun to drive

I guess perfect has many definitions. I think it means a car that could do anything. For me, it's the BMW M3. It's classy enough for any occasion. It can still run on a track but it's comfortable enough to drive everyday. The motortrend m3 versus gt article move me from buying a used 2008 gt to buying a 12gt. If I could get close to my dream within a budget I could afford, who wouldn't do it! Here comes the lame part, my 12 gt may be my perfect car. The retro styling plus performance is amazing!

An M3 probably comes closest nowadays, outside of price and maintainence costs. However, the 2015 Stang sounds like it has real potential to have M3 oomph and moves minus the Break My Wallet costs. An affordable four-door variant of the S550 chassis would really seal the deal for this dad (kind of tough wrastling a squallering wriggler into the back seat area of a coupe.

5.0 Fusion? Fusion SHO? 400+HP turbo? Add more aggressive styling and maybe even an AWD option to take out the STIs and EVOs, too.

This...I agree with Rhumb..
There is already talk on the M3 forums about the new Mustang, a light weight car (for its class) with excellent build quality and finally a good IRS at under $35K, how can you go wrong.
