Singaporeans..what will your next car be ?

Given the penchance for Singaporeans to feel the need to export our cars to countries that we deem will benefit from cars that ply the AMK-CTE-Shenton Way route and hardly anywhere else, I'm sure that some of us would have contemplated what our next set of wheels will be- SO what is the likelihood of you buying:

-Another Mazda
-Another Japanese performance car
-Boring Korean/Japanese family car
-SUV/MPV
-Continental performance car (must let me test drive)
-Continental luxury car
-Econobox, eg. Proton Gen 2
-Sportsbike
-No car, licence kanna kantong, or saving money for that 2nd property


If anyone knows exactly what they intend to get as well, pls share too! After we have been spoilt by our 8s, let's see the direction tt people are heading..

Hehe the 8 is definitely a fun car to drive. Fell in love with it the first time I drove it. Thought I could live with the lack of torque but I really feel the need for speed.
Gonna drive it for a year or so more , then trade it in for an Evo 8 MR/ EVO 9.

-Not likely considering the 8 is best Mazda have so far
-Possibly, considering I've always been a fan of the EVO VIII which will smoke the 8
-Never, might as well push my 8, and/or get a POS Tuscani which wud never happen.
-Possibly, if its an X5
-Exists? What?
-Ditto...maybe a Jag X-type
-Forget it, no interest
-BMW K1200
-Want to buy a condo in Sing? Have for sale, ex the car.

About to pay deposit on an STi but wifey got scared. So ended with an 8. If 2 dr, then DC 5R!

8 is the car that has the highest combined score for both oF us.

Turbos are fun, but might be dangerous to the uninitiated when it kicks in at the wrong time... BTW, Motor Image gives test drive on the STi?
