my 09 M3!

looking forward to the new M5.

It will be interesting to see what BMW's answer is to the new RS6.

Cars I wouldn't really buy but am excited to see/read about/etc: RS5 & NSX


Cars that might actually end up in my garage: 370Z and the Audi Q5

RS5 or more realistically S5. I am getting ready to order one. M3 was a consideration but S5 won based on the looks alone.

Really? What a bummer. How'd you get to see it? I need a small to midsize SUV and everything else is just so... feminine (X3, RX)

I was just pulling off the highway to fill up and I saw a Q5 exit while I was at the pump. It was dark blue and dirty as hell. I'm guessing it was a pre-production model that's about 99.99% complete.

Audi lends out pre-production models for two weeks if you fill out some sort of papers. I pulled into a gas station behind this one guy who was borrowing a pre-production R8 V10 and had a talk with him. It's crazy.

And unfortunately mid-size SUVs simply aren't lookers...
-The X3 is straight up fugly. There's nothing redeeming about it.
-The GLK is also ugly, but with a strong dash of blandness to accompany it.
-The Q5 is inoffensive, but incredibly boring. The LEDs are the one interesting element to its design. The taillights are overly large and grotesque.

Audi:
-B8 S4: I'd like to test out the new tech, see how the handling compares, and just get a good feel for it and its new SC'd V6. I'd like to see the S5 for the same reason - new engine.
-B8 RS4/RS5: For obvious reasons. Who knows what it'll look like or what kind of monstrous figures it'll have.
-R8 V10/R12TDi: I'd kill to have the standard R8. I've seen a test mule R8 V10, and I've drooled over R12 pics. There hasn't been much word on them as of late, but I'm definitely expecting the latter to be an eventual reality.

BMW:
-F01 7 Series: I've been drooling over the pics. I've been ecstatic about the interior. I've heard nothing but good news so far. What's not to like? Some call it tacky, some call it conservative. I love it.
-E89 Z: Looks gorgeous in pictures. Maybe a bit large, and I'm not a fan of verts, but it's still very interesting, given its uniqueness relative the rest of the BMW range.
-F10 5 Series: I would kill to see a TT V8 fitted to the new 5 series chassis. Who knows what kind of performance numbers we'll see? I've also read up here that the 8-Speed Auto might debut with its launch. Hmm.

Mercedes:
-E-Class: It's new and it looks promising. There's been a couple of renderings on this site leaving a sour taste in peoples' mouths, but if anyone has any sense they'll ignore the fake stuff and wait for the real deal. The interior is the only thing that leaves me completely uninterested.
-SL Black Series: I want to see one in person. No, there's no explanation required.

Infiniti:
-G37s Sedan: The G35 seems to be about as fast as the coupe with the 3.5L engine, how's it gonna stack up now? Can't wait to find out. I'd also like to try out the new 7-Speed auto.

Ferrari:
-California: I feel like this is just one of those cars that you HAVE to see in person. The body surfacing looks complex. It'd be nice to see it moving under lighting.

Lamborghini:
-That crazy sedan. Dunno the name, but it looks badass.

Aston Martin:
-One-77: I HAVE to see this. I want to know if it'll be another forgetful(ish) DB9 spawn-off, or if it actually has a dose of originality for a change. Here's hoping for the latter.

Chevy:
-Camaro: It handles well, it looks good, and apparently even the V6 version is great fun to drive. Finally, a modern muscle car done right!

Volkswagen:
-The NEW GTi!: I have no idea why, but I REALLY want to see this car. It looks amazing so far.

Nissan:
-370Z: It'll probably destroy a 335i in the twisties, and give a stock one a big run for its money in the straights. Bargain performance ftw. And it should look good too, with those massive fenders.

Lexus:
-LF-A!: What happened to this thing!? I want to see it badly. It sounds like it should be crazy. Had a great stance based off of the last spy pics.

Acura:
NSX: We've seen renderings and pretty revealing spy pics. Lets see the real thing. Supposedly it's going to overtake the GTR's performance abilities. That sounds like a huge claim. I hope they manage to do it - just means better choices for the consumer.

There's more I'm sure. I just can't think of them at the moment.
+100000....That car list is what I'm looking forward too....almost everything

I will add some from on top of my head


Ford
Mustang: I'm not a big fan of the 'pony' car but I think it's going to be great. With powertrains ranging from a Twin turbo 3.5 V6(eco-boost) to a Naturally aspirated 5.0 V8, it's looks really promising.Mustang's are already the most modded car in the world(So many tuners that you lose count and this and that special edition) and now they will be offering a twin turbo V6...damn!
And Ford are also going to make the ecoboost V6 available in other cars like Taurus or Fusion....Not looking forward to those but you will be surprised to see a Taurus flying past you with that engine

Chevrolet
Corvette ZR1: I cant afford it but my friend is planning to get one. I dont know how but Inshalla, he'll get it.
And Inshalla I'll just get the plain old Zo6

Cadillac
CTS-V: This sedan is going to be a monster. It doesn't look bad either. A wolf in a sheep's clothing.

Mercedes:
SLC gullwing: Now that will be amazing. Return of the 'bird' type doors . I really like the spy pics though. With a explosive 6.2 V8(speculation), it's going to be quick too.

Aston Martin
Rapide: The 4 door sedan looks really good to me but I want to take a close look at it in real life.

Porsche
997 turbo: I dunno why but I love the 997 turbo. With DI(direct injection) Lighter engine materials, a upgrade to a already potent AWD, this 997 turbo will once again top the techno sheet.

Panamera(4 door sedan): Well I'll never buy it but I'm looking forward to seeing them on the streets of my city where Cayenne's were sold out.
And finally,I also wanted to add one concept which I really love.
Toyota

Supra or Ft-Hs:- Man, did you hear about this car.....I dunno why but I love the way this car looks....really really ...I'm not sure on when it will be produced but it was just so damn beautiful that I had to add it.
