I currently own a Fiat Palio 1.6 S10 and the car has pampered me big time with it's europeon build quality, great lusty engine and superlative ride quality and handling. Hence, the car's i would choose from now own will have to have amazing performance and brilliant handling.
So here are my 3 cars, needless to say they are all Europeon products :

1. BMW M3
2. BMW M5
3. Merc SL 500

here's my list:-
1. Skoda. Would have been Peugeot if they still existed in India. Petrol versions only!
2. Judo - fitted for looks (am not getting into details).
3. HM Contessa - fitted out for looks & performance (V8, etc.. u get the point)

i would use the 'substantial amount of money' for the modifications
