Curious after owning the Type R what is next?

[BryanCO]

Plan on keeping the CTR a couple more years. But if I had to buy something now, would probably be an M2.

GT4 is a fun car...

718 or 981?

If Greta Thunberg gets her way we'll all be riding bicycles in the next 10 years while she jet-sets around the globe. I'm worried about the future of the auto industry as manufacturers move more and more towards electric. Whatever my next car is it will be a manual gearbox and ICE if they even still exist. Another thing as a species can we just collectively get over this bizarre obsession with SUV's and Crossover's. We need to let go of these dark ages of automotive insanity.

Yep, 981. Got it new in Jan 2016. Kept it almost three years.

What could that next be in terms of price/performance/maintenance cost? Nothing unless Honda or someone else, who would that be, performs a similar hat trick?

How is the tall gearing (2nd in particular)? Do you get used to it, or is it a bummer off the track?

Not ideal but really not a big deal. Reviewers had to find something not to like about the car.

The real issue is that the engine just wasn't special. It's very good but lacking when compared to the GT3. Course, it was priced much less so difficult to criticize the car.

Model S Plaid. Just waiting for my stocks to do what "it" should do.

a retirement luxury car, or a truck

I wonder if the bored 4.0L in the 718 makes a big difference in terms of being more "special"? Either way, I can't wait to upgrade!

I would like to experience a AMG E63 Wagon someday.

Couple more years you might be able to get a Toyota Mister 2 =)

I dunno man. Have you driven one of the high powered Tesla’s or Porsches? There’s no reason an electric car can’t be fun. They are wickedly fast. If they can get battery weight down and charge times reduced I can see it working.

Keeping the R. I want a Tesla Model 3 Performance as a daily.
