If i was in a position to buy one, a merc C63 would make me forget about my XR8..
The only other car i would really Contemplate buying to give up the xr8 is the boss 335. Boss 335 if im feeling tight and c63 if im going all out. |

What would make me forget about the EL? Probably nothing as it's been a part of my life for the last 12 years.
Having said that, it's getting replaced later on this year with either the new Territory, the new Ranger or an FG2 Falcon. Not sure which yet but I'll be driving all three before making a decision.

New XLT Ranger later on this year would make me forget all about the missus 05 TS RWD Territory. I hate it.
My car, on the other hand, I wouldn't forget about it for anything.

I have a huge soft spot fot the E46 M3 and would have one in a heart beat if my situation were a little different. On the second hand market you can pick a low klm example up for less than a new FPV, so the pricing isn't that prohibitive.
The maintenance/servicing/running costs scare me though, especially with no warranty.

Liberty 3.0R-B. Spec. Won't be till next year, but it looks like I might be without a Ford for the first time ever.

Don't know that I'm actually contemplating buying one but I still consider the BMW X5 the pinnacle cross-over vehicle and I don't think I'd look back at the Territory if I was driving off in one of those

I don't think any car could make me forget about my XR8. There is just something about it, that I have never felt with any other car. I look at it every day and admire it. No car could ever replace it.
I could get another car as a daily, but I could never get rid of my XR8. Plus my kids and wife all love it. (Actually my daily is a new SSV ute). The XR8 is the wifes daily. I doubt I would even want to replace it with another one. It's just my XR8 and thats that. |

Nothing will make me forget the 3V, it's been a great car. But...
A fox mustang Or more realistically maybe an XR5 Focus A P250 would be great as well **Anything with a manual V8 with more grunt and less weight than my BA**

A new Ranger would make me forget my Patrol and I think an old school cruiser like an XY/XA, or even a nice old lane would make me forget the XR8

If there was one car that would make me contemplate forgetting about the VL, and being my ticket to enter the blue side it would be a FG G6ET in Mystic.
