Depends on the new 07 G35, GTR, or M3. Gonna weight all my options and see what has to hold. Most likely will be purchasing a 08, since I don't want the first year bugs.

Since 95' I have purchased/leased 7 cars(on my 2nd G)...so chances are I will keep it for two years?

...Believe it or not, I was gonna trade the G in for IS350 last month, even got a pre-approved from Lexus, thats until I sat in one...

Hey Andy, I guess it's the dream many of us have for years. I hope to retire in 3-4 years at age 50 if I can keep my business growing and save a few more sheckles too. My wife will be working for another 7 years. Where I live any type of Porsche is a very exclusive car. I would like a 911S. There are only a few around and we just got our first Porsche dealership a few months ago.

my lease ends right at the beginning of 2009. by that time, the new G coupe will have settled in for a couple of years, gotten some improvements from the '07 model. if it looks as good as this one, i'll probably opt for that, or the sedan.

if i'm making what i'd like to be making by that time, i'll go back to Audi and pick up an RS4. i drove an A4 Quattro for nine years, and while i adore Infiniti design, german cars are rock solid in a way that japanese cars never will be.
