The Amphicar, especially when out on the water.

meh...I'd rather have the Skyline that the same guy is advertising for $9k negotiable

I think the best answer on here so far is an air-cooled 911. I think Clarkson's critique of them being Beetle's is actually one of the reasons that they will endure. There will never be another rear-engined air-cooled boxer. There will always be another "fastest" mid-engine sportscar.

Toyota's ad for RAV4 is a little awkward.

We have had this conversation before but I'm going to chime in with my usual anyway.
