Aston Martin DB9. If not the most beautiful car built in my lifetime (since 1990), at least top 5. Fisker Karma is up there. Ferrari 355. Alfa Romeo 8C. The GT-R is attractive, but not pretty. Too tall and slab-sided. A bit blunt-nosed. The ass is very tall and square. That baskethandle spoiler in inexcusable. Still a

This was intended for someone specifically, ignore.

Doesn't change the fact that it's an appliance. The crowd-favorite drivers' car, the Scion FR-S, doesn't accelerate any quicker than a V6 Camry, but they're total opposites in spirit and fun factor.

Odd topic, but what the hell does the word Camry even mean? It sounds like the Chinese guy on South Park trying to say "Calmly," which is a good description of how a Camry is driven 99% of the time. If I had to guess, I'd say it translates to "One who drives slowly in the passing lane."

I hope he's actually sponsored by DC, because those stickers are so lame. The camo is sorta cool since the GT-R isn't exactly a beautiful car, but DC stickers makes you look like a tool.

Think of it like this, importing one 21 years from now could be a fun project. Alfa Romeo Brera, I'll have you someday!

It's official; S, M, and AMG don't mean a damn thing anymore.

Nice Audi.

I'm gonna go NP for the rarity, nice condition and the WTF-is-that factor.

Yes, or maybe even full-on troll on people who ask about your car. Watch their awkward reactions when you spout BS about double clutching, NOS etc.

Guess we forgot that one. Should have been #1 just for the fact it was on TV and Clarkson wasn't even prodding, he just spouted that BS unnecessarily.

Agreed, on the supercharger thing, he's not lying, just confused. It takes a bit of horsepower to drive a supercharger just like any other belt driven accessory, but obviously the return is enough boost to more than make up for the loss.

#9 The guy grilling him while secretly filming is the real douche. Could have at least offered insightful advice to an obviously clueless car enthusiast.

The pleasure is mine. I'd love some ice cream, thank you.

Honestly, the level of excitement a car can offer will have no bearing on falling asleep. Sometimes the person is so sleep deprived its impossible to stay awake no matter what. Then there are those iffy times when you're sleepy but sort of able to keep from dozing. That's when driving with cruise control on a dark

Obscure? Have you ever driven a car? I'm pretty sure non-gearheads know the feel of they're door handle or shifter

Let's for a minute pretend this is true, I don't feel bad for either of them, don't leave your keys in your car if for no other reason than it would be inconvenient if your lame ass car is stolen and now you need to find a way home. And if you can't tell that a car that isn't the same exact car or at least a sister

Well of course going back to an old car is always a great idea, I'm not a fan of idiot-enabling features myself. I'm guilty though, my TPMS light came on when it first got cold out, and I honestly wouldn't have thought to fill them otherwise. I do think you're overreacting, and your reasoning is flawed, how is it

Oh I'm so sorry rich tourists are contributing to your economy. How far up your musty arse does a cricket bat have to be for supercars to make you sad?

Ok, last one then I'll leave quietly. I hope to get my hands on some sort of tiny vintage Alfa, along the lines of a 2000 GTV or even a Giulietta. I picture blasting along a back road, tires screaming at what feels like warp speed, but in reality maybe 10mph over the speed limit.
