Help a brother out. Should I buy this car now or wait and get a 370z next year?

I've only had manuals up until 2015 when I bought my S55 AMG.

But the 7 speed DSG dual clutch slusho box in my Audi S4 is wonderful.

My Buick has a 6 speed transmission. Even though it's a big ass heavy thing, I actually get better gas mileage than I did in my Lexus. Which I'm pretty sure is due to that transmission. I can't believe how low the RPM's are while driving, under 2k.

My MB is over 2 tons. I count smiles per gallon, not miles per gallon...

And I never drive my S4 "quietly"..... It's my commuter and I put 100 highway miles a workday on it. Gas her up 3 times a week......

Damn, that's a lot of miles. I work at home, so I only drive to town and back a few times a week. Fill up 3 times a month max if I'm really busy with stuff to do, otherwise I can usually get by with 1 fill up a month, sometimes 2 but then it bleeds into the next month etc.

Last month I spent $128.77 on gas, but $43 of that was a fill up yesterday. So really closer to $85. But I made multiple trips to Phoenix this past month, which is about 2 hours of driving there and back.

It's 160 kilometres/day and I get $0.50 per kilometre. So the gas is covered and most maintenance. My gas bill is ~$500/month but I get over $1,600 in mileage.

And I love to drive, especially early in the AM when the coast is clear. The S4 once actually told me it wouldn't go any faster, 250 kph, 155 mph, but that was just a quick spurt to see if it could.

The truck market pisses me off. I like having a truck, but a full-size is cumbersome for my garage and the crowded streets during tourist season.
At the same time, I don't want some POS Tundra, Honda or Colorado.

I want a midsize, luxury truck with a tow package and 4WD. Is that too much to ask? I guess it is...because I'm stuck with a stupid SUV that smells like the gas I spilled in the back.

AND why isn't everyone clamoring for the 35+ mpg and massive torque from a common rail diesel instead of these stupid huge gas engines in a truck?? They last twice as long as well...most desirous on the salt free roads of FL. The entire truck market sucks.

Pickup truck manufactures charge a fvkload of money when you opt out for a diesel instead of a gasoline engine.

A 6cyl is fine.
Ford put millions of 6 cylinders on the road in the early Mustangs and secretaries around the country were just fine with it.

Tundras are trash...........And I definetley don`t want any foreign truck/car.

If I was to buy another truck,into which I will someday,I`d get me a chevy Silverado or the ford Shelby........both are bad ass trucks.

The straight 6 was better than the small V8 IMO. They could take thousands of RPM higher and could be jacked to blow away the 8s. With just head change, the 6 beat the 302.
Plus, their weight was better and made the car handle better.
