Of Cars we own or want?

I was just thinking about vehicles in these 3 categories b/c imo these arr the only categories that matter. I need a sports car, a bike and every man needs a truck. Im an suv guy so the suv doubles as a family car as well. These 3 categories cover all of my vehicle needs.

Imo Italians make the best sports cars, Japanese make the best sport bikes and Americans make the best trucks. So being that these are the only types of vehicles I will ever need for the entirety of my life what are the best 3 vehicles in each category. That was the premise behind the thread.

I just posted my dream fleet.. I don't ride motorcycles and probably wouldnt ever buy an American truck. Especially if money isn't a consideration..

My dream team:

2006 Mercedes Benz S65 AMG in black.

2006 Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG in black.

2007 Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG in black.

And the final car... I'm probably gonna go with a 1990-1993 Detomaso Pantera SI, in black.

Why the Pantera??? It's far slower than any of the Mercs and I could probably find a Ferrari Testarossa or some other older Italian sports car that would blow the doors off of it. But look at that thing... Only 41 second generation Detomaso Panteras exist making it one of the rarer exotic cars on the planet. By contrast, the original Pantera that was sold here in the US through Lincoln Mercury dealerships starting in 72 has nearly 7200 examples built. It's ridiculously low to the ground, turns heads like a Lamborghini Countach, and with the 2nd Gen Pantera they switched from a Ford 351 Cleveland engine to a tuned Ford 302 making it serviceable by any decent Ford mechanic should something go wrong.

As for the Benz lineup, Those three represent the last of my favorite Mercs from a design standpoint and the fact that they're all powered by an insane-ass twin turbocharged V12 definitely helps.
