European Delivery - What car and what would you do?

[BavarianBeast]

I just wanted to make a thread to see what everyone would order if they were to take European Delivery of a car worth less than $110,000.

What car would you buy? (Keep in mind it has to have Euro-delivery option) Where would you go? What stops would you make? Lets say you have 3 weeks to enjoy your car in Europe.


I was caught between an M6 and Cayman GT4, and I think I've decided on the GT4. The Porsche European Delivery package includes driver training in Lepizig, so I would spend a couple of days doing this. After that, I wouldn't have a clue where to go, or what to see. Looking for some more insight!

IMO I wouldnt choose a car based on post-delivery incentives.... unless youre planning to keep the car short term only. You can sign up for advanced driver training anywhere.

M6 would be my game, personally, as a DD in Canada and Europe-sight seeing.

Obviously if the delivery took place in the winter Id be more inclined to head towards the Southern EU countries.

Have you confirmed you can even get a GT4? I was under the impression they are limited production and damn near all spoken for as of months ago.

Anyways currently its a toss up between an exclusive edition Macan GTS ( kind of on a kick for one of these, if the economy wasn't what it is...) or a full to the nines individual order M3.

Would do Germany, Switzerland, a bit of France, maybe Belgium, finish in the UK ( depends on the rules your manufacturer has for drop offs ).

I would toy with dipping down into Spain as I have family there but the roads there are so bad that i feel its a better trip to just fly around or rent a subcompact.

Driving an M6 in Europe would blow chunks just due to its shear size. Keep in mind how bad the roads in the cities are there esp with a lowered car ( GT4 ) and cobblestone roads. Also how people in Europe generally don't have the same respect for other peoples cars that we do here ( Driving into you parallel parking, spitting on cars, keying, bad shit really). If you can believe it we are actually quite respectful as a whole.

Porsche has some pretty cool looking canned trips on their ED website that include some cool roads to drive with your new car.

^ Does alfa even do ED on production cars? Can't find any references on their website and aside from a few special people who had the first 4C's in the world who went to the factory i can;t find it on even an alfa forum?

I wasn't being serious But I wonder if you could make it happen...

Well god damn it this is a serious thread! GTFO

What kind of world do we live in where we cant have a serious conversation about buying high end German cars, picking them up from a factory 10,000 km away and driving them around Europe for a month while we are enduring the worst economic situation that Alberta has seen in decades.

Get a grip man.

M4. Gotta wring that out in Autobahn/Nurburgring.

If you have confirmed you can get a Cayman GT4 and do E.D. I only have two comments:

1. What the hell are you waiting for?!
2. Well done sir.

Can you even get a GT4 for sub 110K if so that car + Stelvio Pass =

I drove the ring in a Opel Corsa this summer and it is a scary track even in a <100hp car, I would never take my own brand new powerful sports car on that track. Very quick way to come home empty handed.

100% the GT4, saw one ripping around downtown a couple months ago and instantly fell in love.

I am still trying to figure out what has changed between august and now that makes this car buyable...

you cant do audi thats for sure

[BavarianBeast]

Yes the GT4 is tough to get, you have to be wait listed.. This does not mean that its unobtainable though.. I'll continue to wait and if I get the go ahead, I'll likely jump on it.

Stelvio pass looks very cool.

[killramos]

How long have you been on the waitlist?

There are no new M6's for under $110K that is for sure
