Future Car, What should I research? Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Alright, here's the deal, I keep going back and forth about what kind of car I want one day. I was it to be nice and at least semi luxurious, AWD, sleeper or sleeper-esc, and be capable of tons of hp. I've thought about getting a ae86 and making it nice and turboing it to make it fast, but I think I want more luxury and AWD. I've been thinking about getting an A4 and twin turboing it lately. I'd be willing to stand RWD, as long as I move south. I'm debating moving to Europe so I can have more choices. And yes, I'm serious. So, what do you all think?

EDIT: I'm no expert, so something I can get help with, and build step by step would be nice. I really don't want to just take something to a shop and have everything done. The intire point of this is to build a fast car, owning and being able to drive it is just a by product.

First off, Saab makes good cars, problem is they are FWD. Check out a 9-5 Aero, 2.3 lt turbo 250 hp with an overboost ecu control that exceeds that for short periods. Reliability is good, not toyota great, but good. Styling is another story, some people like it, most hate it.

back to the 9-2X:
The 9-2X is a facelifted subaru imprezza. Different front, rear and interior. It came with either the 2.5lt na or the 2.0 lt trubo out of the WRX. If you have read up on Subaru swaps, all of the drivetrains are compatable. You could swap in a WRX STi engine, trans, diffs and ecu. Now the swap would be expensive (all scooby swaps are).

non turbo cars run less than 20k used, the swap would be big coin, but you should be able to get it done within your budget. If you are interested check out:
