If you could only have one car for the rest of your days what would it be?
For me?
CTS-V Wagon.
For me?
CTS-V Wagon.

My old Dakota that I miss! Reliable, simple, easy to work on, haul things, got 30 mpg on the highway!
I'd have a 2010 BMW E61 M5 Touring.

That BMW wagon above looks nice, but I recall when I picked up my 135i at the BMW performance center in 2011, we put a bunch of M5 sedans into limp home mode way too fast...
Id consider this though...
Love the 2016+ CTS-V, which took on a whole new level of good looks, and if I were asked what sedan, it would be a cross between the CTS-V and an MB E-class diesel. But the CTS-V wagon lines never did it for me.
If it were one car I had to keep running forever, and could never buy another if it stopped...
Then I'd say an MB w123 300TD turbo diesel wagon, or else a late 90s, I6 Toyota Land Cruiser, or a Toyota Previa of the same vintage. Possibly an old diesel K-suburban would work too...

New crew cab Silverado Z71 4x4. If I could only have one vehicle it would have to be a pickup out of convenience.
If it had to be a car I would probably go with a Lexus IS 350F Sport AWD in the Redline color scheme with the tan/black interior combo

I must be getting old. I would just keep my Trailblazer.
Your question leaves out the issue of reliability. Do you really want to keep a BMW when it cost $500 for a new battery or a Porsche when is costs $1500 for a battery and an oil change?
If you add reliability into the equation I will keep my Toyota Avalon. 120,000 miles with only oil changes, new tires and one new battery.

Eh, I don't care so much about reliability in the is this case as I do fun to drive and versatility.

This is pretty down to the point...You have put some thought into this I see.

I do like the wagons. They do a lot of things well.

My Shipmate had one. It would get up to 80 on the freeway on-ramp in second gear.

Chevy SS with the 6 speed manual. If Ford sold the Falcon in the US I would say a Falcon FPV Falcon or XR8.
