Re: Coolest cars you've seen
Nor would I, but I certainly wouldn't but an overpriced Italian GT car either.

Or an older generation RS6 sedan with £50k to spend on go-faster goodies. Or a boat.

Re: Coolest cars you've seen
List of cool cars I saw on a recent trip out of town:
- six (yes, six) Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8s (spread out across the entire trip)
- three 2010 Mustangs (one GT coupe, two convertibles)
- two Mitsubishi 3000GTs
- BMW Z3 M Coupe (yes, the "shoe")
- Mazda RX-7 (FD3S)
- Toyota Supra (JZA80)
- Lotus Elan (I had never seen one before; I can usually recognize cars within a half of a second but I had to actually look at the badging to identify it )
- Honda S2000 (AP1), with sweet Volk-looking rims and a good-looking exhaust system. It was stopped, though

Re: Coolest cars you've seen
Not technically on the road, but at the flicks last night (Angels And Demons) one of the main cars featured was the brand new 2009 Lancia Delta. Aside from the front grille I rather like it.

The Lancia Delta is not so Brand new, it's for sale for a year now in Europe, seen several around.
Probably new down under, but brand new.... nah..

Re: Coolest cars you've seen
Well I've only heard of it from the start of the year. It's not coming to Australia, which correct me if I'm wrong was the same with the old one.

Re: Coolest cars you've seen
Doesn't look the least bit attractive in my opinion. Looks like they tried to copy the Maybach Exelero's front end (and failed) and slapped it on some weird looking crossover/stationwagon chassis.
Re: Coolest cars you've seen
You clearly never seen a Lancia before have you, they didn't copy the Maybach, Lancia has that style of front for a while now, there are several Lancia's with a front like that, it did change over the years and the grill got higher and isn't as wide as it was years ago (thus a thinner higher grill) but only the 80's Lancia's had a square grill.Porsche-AG wrote:Doesn't look the least bit attractive in my opinion.

Re: Coolest cars you've seen
w00t I saw an F430 today! It was really loud, and I didn't really look at it until the last minute, so it may have been something other than an F430, but I'm pretty sure it was one - couldn't have been anything but an F430, Enzo, or something newer.
I also saw another new Camaro and another new Challenger; I guess those are in full sale now.

Re: Coolest cars you've seen
Down at Harvey Norman there's two cars that park there, one is an FPV F6 Tornado (I want one even more now, they actually look quite spectacular) and a Chrysler 300C SRT8. If I can get a photo of the two together I'll post it up, because the numberplates that they have are actually kinda funny. The Tornado (which is the ute version of the F6 Typhoon for those that don't know) has the numberplate "WORKUTE" and the 300C has "FMLYCAR".

Re: Coolest cars you've seen
Actually, I have seen a Lancia before, but I believe it was the 80's one with the regular square grill as you said.TheStig wrote:You clearly never seen a Lancia before have you, they didn't copy the Maybach, Lancia has that style of front for a while now, there are several Lancia's with a front like that, it did change over the years and the grill got higher and isn't as wide as it was years ago (thus a thinner higher grill) but only the 80's Lancia's had a square grill.
And even though they may not have been trying to copy the Exelero, I still think that it looks quite ugly. I'm not sure exactly what it is that makes the vehicle so odd-looking, but the shape (which is similar to a Nissan Murano 1st gen, another extremely ugly vehicle) and front grille definitely contribute.
Re: Coolest cars you've seen
Not really fond of the looks but it's definitely freshing up the roads, usually clogged with boring vehicles.

Re: Coolest cars you've seen
You seriously didn't know about that Haz?
Re: Coolest cars you've seen
I most certainly did not. Google not turning up any relevant results for 'Convertible Ford GT' didn't help my skepticism, either. Though that does a pretty good job of making a damn sexy car even sexier.
Re: Coolest cars you've seen
But the GTX1 is a prototype... so I doubt you will see it on the street...

Re: Coolest cars you've seen
Actually, I believe there is/was a company in Vegas that converted a normal Ford GT into a GTX1 for a customer.
Re: Coolest cars you've seen
lol, even I know about that...
Anyway, saw a very nice GT2 in silver...

It does exsist because I've seen the same exact one twice. This first time was in a Target parking lot and the second time was on the street.
