Aston Martin DB9 - Few cars exude style and speed like an Aston Martin. No wonder James Bond chooses this as his ride in the new Casino Royale film.
Audi R8 - One of the newest supercars to leap from the drawingboard to the street, the new Audi R8 is a stunning work of modern style and technology.
Bentley Continental GT/GTC - sometimes you have to roll in style, and there's few better ways to do so than in a Bentley.
BMW M5 - the most practical 500hp 4-door sportscar out there. Because sometimes you have to bring some friends or family along right?
Corvette Z06 - What would a dream car garage be without some American muscle? Well I am not a huge fan of most American cars, but the Z06 represents proudly for the red white and blue.
Ferrari 250GT Spider - No dream car collection should be without a classic Ferrari, and the 250GT has a classic beauty to its lines.
Ferrari F430 A dream garage also needs a modern Ferrari - this one is faster than a Lamborghini Gallardo, and looks to be a classic in the making.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS - the classic Porsche 911 in race-ready trim. This would be the car I would take to the track and race with.
Porsche Cayman S - Sleek lines and curves make this new Porsche even more beautiful than the 911, and the mid-engine platform promises superior handling.
Toyota MR2 Turbo - This one may seem a bit strange amongst the others, but it's been one of my dream cars since high school and I owned one for about 2 years. I hope to someday own another, and this would be my project car to tune and tweak for fun.
Runner-Up: Ariel Atom - the ultimate minimalist track day car -- even more so than the Lotus Elise. But a little too minimalist to make the list -- I do like some comfort in my cars.You'll notice I have no trucks, minivans or SUV's in my dream garage because I have no use for them. 'Nuff said.

Nice garage. Here is mine, with the proviso that all the cars are off the dealer lot (so no classic Ferrari) and things that I would actually pay for (assuming the resources):
1. AM DB9 - classic looks, classic Brit GT with a 12.
2. F340 - classic F-car with an 8.
3. Lambo Gallardo - split the difference with the V10. Yes, the R8 is a freshen Gallardo, but in a daydream garage, I'll rather have a Lambo than an Audi.
4. 9114S - gotta have a 911, but I choose the more common 4s over the GT3RS; my driving skills do not require a hard core track vehicle, as I'm not maxing out on the cars in this garage anyhow. Maybe a 911T over the 4s. Dunno, but definitely a more pedestrian 911 than what you want.
5. MB CL - your nice, normal everyday cruiser coupe. I'll take the 6.2 in it, please.
6. MB GL 320CDI - was trying to fit both an Odyessey and an F-150 in the mix, for some practicality (after all, there are kids to ferry) and towing, and thought, hey, isn't that the point of an SUV? The diesel will give me some stump pulling power, and the flexibility to run biofuels.
7. BMW 335 Touring - want a smaller car for around town stuff, and thought about a Prius here, but I went with more power and sporting pretensions instead. Also, I have another hybrid in mind.
8. LS600h L - this is just the best luxury sedan out there when you want to be pampered and not kidnapped. And what better way is there to go HOV?
9. 300C SRT8 - kind sorry that there are no 'murican cars in here, so I threw this one in. It's probably built in Canada though. SRT8 gives you all that power, obviously, but also none of that MDS bullshit that will break on you. CTS-V was a close consideration here too, but 6.1 liters trump it. I don't really care for the M5 at all.
10. Miata PRHT - I agree with your initial love theory, so this is one is in there, with a slight update and twist on my first car. Simple, reliable, easy to use sports car. What more do you want? A better looking car? - yeah, well, I can't have everything.
See my list here.

Nice garage indeed. If I had the money I would completely go with your choices. But not single Mercedes in the list?
