Porsche Riders on the Cars They Want These Days
Release Date: 2021.02.28
The car my Porsche-driving husband wants.
Looking at my husband, I think that time spent thinking "What kind of car should we buy next..." is probably the most enjoyable time of the day.
My husband said last year, "I don't think I want a car anymore...He was sadly saying things like, "I'm not sure what I want," but for some time now, he has been talking about the car he wants again.
Of course, this does not mean that I will actually buy one, but merely that I am in the "I wish I had one..." stage of fantasy.
The car my husband wants now is a Mercedes-Benz SL400.

My husband has had a fascination with Mercedes-Benz SLs since he was a child. His first car of his own was a Honda Legend coupe, which he inherited from his father, and since that time, he has been "in love with theI want to ride SL or CL someday.He had always thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.
And a few years ago, when I bought my dream SL500 (R129)
The ride is like walking on a thick carpet in the lobby or hallway of a luxury hotel. But despite its softness and suppleness, it turns, drives, and stops perfectly when the need arises. That's what Mercedes is all about!
He was thrilled.
In the end, I had to part with my SL500 because I decided to buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model), but after that, we often talked about SLs whenever we had a chance.

Then the other day, my husband started saying this.
I have six cars in my house now, but to be honest, I can't take care of them anymore. I like to drive them more than collect them, so I can't take care of them any more.Frankly, we need to reduce it even more.I think.
Now, there are times when I have to move the car regularly to keep the battery from going up, but I don't feel obligated to drive the car like that....
So I'm thinking that the next time I buy a car, I'll let go of one or two and then buy a new one.
And. Well... it's still a lot, but it's good for less (laughs).
And recently, he wants an SL400, and he has been staring at car sensors all the time, but it is still too expensive, so he is not going to buy it anytime soon.
I'm the one who said, "You want an SL400, not an AMG?I asked.
Yeah, I'd prefer an SL400 because I don't need as much power or speed as an AMG.
I want to ride more leisurely, and since SL400 has a V6 and is lighter in front, I am sure it will be more nimble to ride. I think SL400 is enough for me.
Before.He drove an AMG S63 coupe.When I was in the car, he said, "I wish I didn't have to drive an AMG because I want to ride in a relaxed manner, not in battle mode...".
He said.
Also, of all the SL400's my husband would like to have.The SL400 Grand Edition features some of the AMG SL65's luxury equipment and other features.The model is called "the
The SL400 Grand Edition has a very luxurious interior. The seats are thick and plush, and the wood deck panel on the dashboard is really cool.
The SL400 Grand Edition was at Ashiu just the other day, and I couldn't help but stare at it for a long time. It was really cool.
and her husband.
But now we have a family of five, and we have two two-seaters, and to buy another two-seater... And we already have two convertibles, and to buy another convertible... It's like shopping for someone who can't do arithmetic..." (laughs).
Yes, I know. I'm well aware of that.I guess I'm longing to commute by SL or something.Well, even though I work from home less now because I work from home more, I used to go to work at SL500 and I was happy and enjoyable.
I don't drive as hard as I did in the Porsche, but on the contrary, I like to drive in a relaxed manner, so I'm now thinking that I may go for a car other than the Porsche.
But well, if I did that, I'd have to think about buying it after I let go of my GT3 and Nissan Note, and also I feel like it would conflict with my 992, and I'd have to replace it...and so on. So, it's not something I want to do right away, and the SL400 I want is still expensive at 7-9 million yen right now, so I'll think about it when it becomes cheaper.
He said.
For a time, it was called "There aren't many cars I want.My husband said, "I'm not a car person. However, since he loves cars and driving, I think he is more motivated and energetic when he has the car he wants.
I wonder how our family's car life will turn out this year.

It is very difficult to keep a large number of animals together so that no one gets bent out of shape. It is also very difficult to prepare a cage for each animal. The other day I had a hard time because I gave up the battery of my RS, which I used to run 40 km for an hour once a month with the engine running. The master has many more cages, and I think his efforts are tremendous. Commuting to work is the best time to have a car that makes you feel great, isn't it? Commuting should be fun! But then again, you can't reduce the number of cars, so you end up adding to the number of cars. It's a common thing to be a car lover!

Buying many cows, seems like a lot of work (laughs).
>The other day I had a hard time giving up the battery on my RS, which I also started once a month and drove about 40 km for an hour.
Oh that's a lot of work...!
But there are many attractive cars in the world.
I would like to see how our family's car life will change from now on.
I always enjoy looking at your site. If your husband has time, I would appreciate your comments on the Alpina, we have three cars, a GT3 and a wagon with a manual transmission and a family SUV, but are considering consolidating the number of cars. Assuming we end up with a GT3 and one other car, I am also interested in what your husband would choose. I test drove the D3S Touring and was quite wobbly. Best regards, and thanks in advance for any help you can give us.

Thank you for everything!
>I am also interested in what your husband would choose, assuming it were to be a GT3 and one other car.
My husband has never owned or driven an Alpina, but we know a lot of people who have.
They usually hear stories about how good it is. My husband is a
I think that if we have two cars with the GT3, the GT3 is a very sporty car, so I think it is important to have two cars.
I'd probably go for the other car as a counterpart, an SUV that can comfortably accommodate a family.
I've heard that Alpina's D is very good, but as someone who has always admired Alpina, I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me.
I wonder if Alpina would like to drive a gasoline engine model..."
He said.
I hope that answers your question...
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your comments about your husband and the SUV, I will enjoy the time of consideration while fantasizing about many things. I look forward to meeting you in Ashiu someday.
