1. Daily Driver is a Mercedes C240 wagon. 20mpg, adequate accelleration, the best overall engineering in the industry(see next paragraph), and quite comfortable too.
2. Next car? Probably another Mercedes. After surviving a head-on collision at 60MPH with a Ford 3/4 ton pickup truck in my little 190E with no personal injury but my brain(I am an audiophile after all!), I will NOT drive any other marque. Mercedes has earned my loyalty.
3. Cost no object? Probably the E55 Wagon if I can get one federalized or barring that a C320 Wagon. I like the practicallity of wagons. Wagons handle like automobiles while SUV's handle like trucks. In addition, you can transport beefy amplifiers and other big audio gear in the trunk when they need to be moved.
