The other one was the first car i purchased by myself, a lovely Citroen ID 2000 (those cars, the ID and the latter DS, were called 'the shark' by italian youngsters. :) Though i must admit that one of two most impressive cars i've owned was japanese (an old Subaru turbo). If i were given a free choice, by some magic trick (and no money involved) i'd go german instead of japanese. I am not a car expert, and i don't like spending too much money on them (never purchased a new one). Acura is the 'better BMW', Dogmar is the 'better Heliar'.
