What will your next car be?

Since many of you guys are in colleges and in universities like myself. I wanted to just get an idea what what car will you likely to purchase after you land your first full time job. Lets be realistic here.

If I get my planned job as a junior auditor, or junior financial anayst. I'm going to be able to afford a WRX. The regular one not the STI since I like the more restrained look and the better everyday driver nature of the WRX. If I'm lucky, then a Lancer Evolution.

Going to stick with cheaper cars for the meantime becasue I don't want to be seen as a spoiled kid in the BMW their parents bought. I hate those crap eaters. And hey, I'm still young at that time.

I would like an RX-7 or maybe even an RX-8 since there will probably be used ones available by the time I plan on buying another car. Or maybe a miata coupe. I know nothing about them though. I have only seen a few pics of the new design. I don't even know when it is going to come out or if it was just a concept car that I saw pics of.

My short list includes the next Mazda3, Mazda6, or RX-8. Depending on my income.

A WRX or EVO wouldn't sound too bad either...

Not another Slowtege...lol

But truly, it will probably be a truck like the new Ram or an Excursion(sp?). I love watching off roading, so if I get a truck, you better believe I'm going off-road.

Or if I make enough, a luxury sport sedan like an Infiniti Q45 or BMW 540i.

Come on, there's a forced induction section on this site....

I really don't want anything that much bigger than a camry...and the luxury car segment, meh, who knows. If it didn't have such reliability concern though that 2 door Mercedes coupe is kinda cute.

I don't like a lot of the cars out on the market there. Maybe a Subaru though

Next December, or around then, probably get either a Mini Cooper S or a 325i. I will have to see how finances look. Maybe an RX-8 if Mazda can stop leaving annoying issues in their cars and taking forever to fix them. Still working on destroying the second gear synchro the dealership wouldn't fix, cold engine rattle got the whole repair and is still there. The only thing they managed to fix was the damn flywheel issue (messing up the transmission in the process).
