A Lincoln Navigator. But only because I’m a lawyer and have been watching The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix, lol.
I confess I have always wanted a car with a big bow on it for a gift. But it isn’t going to happen. We aren’t fancy car people. Or expensive gift people. DH drives an 18 yr old Blazer, and I’m in 7 yr old Subaru Forrester. |

I'd drive that Blazer until the wheels fell off .. Nice ride IMO! |

| I want a Jeep Wrangler for the beach house. I might get it this year. But I don't need my DH to buy it for me, that seems more archaic than the idea of having a dream car. |

McLaren GT
or a retro 911 turbo I appreciate the newer sports cars, but I also want to drive a manual sometimes. Way more fun. I also love the sound of a proper high performance engine. I want my kitten to purr. |

| My dream car is any car driven by my dream man, but barring that.... I'd be delighted with a vintage car. Seriously. I know the gas mileage is insanely awful, they don't drive like current cars do, etc., but I'd like tooling around on short trips in my aggressively angular 1960 Ford Thunderbird convertible with whitewall tires. In green, please and thank you. |

| Had a Wrangler and loved it - now the kids drive it and I have a Mini Convertible. I love the joy of a fun car. My husband's taste are a little more pricey or adventurous. |

| Mercedes if the kids and sports and car pool days and crap eating inside and mud are over! |

| College-educated generation X and Y women aren't into cars as much as boomers were. Your car used to be the status symbol. Wealthy wives under age 50 are more likely to dream about real estate and expensive kitchen remodels. |

I just got it. It isn't a 'dream' car in that it was hard to acquire, but it is one I finally feel deserving of - 300 GLC Mercedes SUV, white with cream interior. Drives like a dream and the interior is pretty and cozy.

| I recently heard UMC private school mothers gossiping about asking their husbands to buy them a new Cadillac Escalade or the biggest Mercedes SUV, the GLS. |

A Lucid.
Switched to EVs about five years ago and will never go back. Teslas are fine; Lucid is the next new thing. |

| My mom was born in 1950 and I was born in 1976. Neither of us ever had a dream car. It's just a song. |
