Well, as you know, I have been regretting my compromise to get the Alpina after all the pressure from the wife and kids. It is a great car, but the transmission really takes away from its potential as a serious sports car. I am now thinking rather than selling it and getting a really expensive 5 seater like an M5, that I will keep it along with her 7 seater Toyota, and get a cheaper third car that is a truly an uncompromised sports car (like the new Elise SC). I wish some new GTA's would come out - we'll see...
