What is everyone driving now?

Daily Driver is a 2000 BMW 328i that I bought when the turbo G20 was totaled in 2003. Despite some of the maintenace issues, I still absolutely love this car. Sometimes I think about getting something different, but there is nothing out there that interests me any more than this car. I even thought about a G37-6MT, but I know I'd miss the E46. Although I bought it off-lease, it is EXACTLY the car I would have ordered if I had BMW build me one at the time. The only thing I may have ordered different is the color and this (black) would have been my 2nd choice. It needs some TLC and some paint touch-up, but at this point I don't even worry about the dings anymore. They are unavoidable on a DD and I no longer worry about them. My Garage Queen is a 1998 BMW M Roadster. Wonderfully fun car, but not exactly the best DD. I did DD it for 2 years while working one variouso projects for the 328i. Sadly, it's taken some dings, so IT will have a visit from the dent doctor. Currently has a dead battery (apprarently there is a low level constant draw) and a CEL. When the weather cools off some and it's possible to drive it again (too bloody hot in Houston now for a roadster), I'll have to get after the CEL. This car is FUN. Very visceral to drive. Tons of torque.
