It would have to be the Range Rover for me.

The most expensive one ......
So I could sell it.
None of those are cars I would ever want to own.

My friend's brother-in-law won a Ferrari in this a few years ago, jammy b*stard. He could already afford to buy a few (being a senior partner in a Cayman Island big four accounting firm) and had bought two tickets for each of his sons, who sold the car and split the proceeds
Same guy was having his house completely gutted/renovated when a hurricane hit the Island year before last when everyone else's abode was flattened. Not only that, but his furniture had just been delivered to the wrong Island (Georgetown in Guyana or somewhere instead of GeorgeTown in Cayman!) by mistake so was saved it being turned into driftwood. Hate him!

Depending on the mood it'd either be the RR for resale or the merc for a laugh for a few weeks until it broke down then I'd sell it on and put the money in a house. Or maybe a 996 GT3. Or maybe an Exige S. But a proper drivers car.

I'm stuck... I love the looks of the SLK, but HATE auto boxs.
I hate the looks of the Gayman, but think it would be great to drive.
The Boxster S is a very accomplished car and I am sure I would love it, but EVERYONE has got one
The RR is a bird's car.... so NO
I think it would probably be the crazy Z4M which I would sell and get an Alpina Z4 3.4S and keep the change. The Z4M is too understated IMO and has minging alloys.

RR as all the rest will be likely to be LHD as there are long wait times for RHD in the UK, then you could sell it quicker and more profitably than the LHD versions.
Two Porsche options & Z4 M are 'cheap' compared to the RR & Merc also.
(And likely not specced up with 10K of goodies in order to make them saleable).
Could also afford petrol for the RR if I didn't have to make repayments on a purchase.
However servicing and insurance on all of them will then make me broke.

I like the idea of the 5.5 litre AMG with the idea I could probably drive it to work as well (thanks to the auto box)
I hated the Z4 in everyway possible so I can't see myself being atttracted to the M in anyway at all
The RR sport is interesting but I'd rather have a proper RR plus I'd look like a tool in it, driving through edinburgh. It is probably the most pratical car here though.
The one I really want out of the lot (and if it was my money I had to spend) is the Boxster S, but it is the most boring choice of them all as well.
I would hate to have the one in a lifetime chance to walk away with 50k ish worth of car for free and waste it getting a Boxster.
And they Cayman... I go through days when I think they look nice and others when I think they look cheap and nasty. I guess it would be a hoot to drive, but I like my sports cars al fresco and would resent the tin top.
It would be a real tough choice
