If you were not getting a Model S what would you get

Thought this might make a fun topic while we kill time waiting for the Model S!

So, in 2+ years' time, what car - that you are presumably driving now - would you be swapping out for the Model S?

Mine's a 2004 Acura TL - been a reliable and fun family sedan but, at ~21 MPG (with premium gas), it's been relatively expensive to operate. By 2012, it'd be 8 years old with around 110,000 miles on it.

Looking forward to your posts and a diverse gaggle of cars that'll be making way for the Tesla!

I have a Jetta TDI so it'll get me through until the Model S arrives. Can't wait.

A Land Rover Freelander II, hopefully. That's the reason I'm still hoping for the 4WD option.

1996 Volvo 960 sedan. It has been very reliable, given the high dealer maintenance costs (requires brake job though). Has 123,751 miles. I will be keeping it with Model S.

After GM and others crushed their EVs I promised myself I would not buy a new car unless it is an EV.

Not replacing ... adding to my list.

Currently I have a 1984 Mazda 323 which will be replaced with the Model S. So should be a nice upgrade

2006 Lexus 400h. I just did my 75,000 mile service, so will probably have around 100,000 miles by the time my S comes in.

An '08 Audi A6 Avant or, possibly, a Tesla Roadster but it depends upon whether I've had all of the fun by the time it arrives... maybe not.

Aren't they going to let you guys keep the Mini-Es?

Already have a Roadster, and a diesel F-250.
