Well according to UCP it is a 2005 car. But what can we do with different launch dates?

yeh, i get what u mean, oh well... shame really, that was one of the two i defo wasn't gonna change

[Timeh]

We don't have to be too strict on the 2006 release rule. If it is a reasonably recent car we can make exceptions. I suppose I will let you go for the S class

My nominations:
Mercedes Benz S-Class
Pagani Zonda F
Fiat 100HP or Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe

EDIT 2: Edited back due to confuzzlation.

Even though it may be difficult, please make a decision between the Fiat and the Mazda. You are only allowed three cars

well, im going to be the first one to nominate the MINI. I may be a bit biased, but then again they have managed to update it in a way that took care of a lot of its original deficiencies, kept its character the same but still advanced it. plus none of the other blatantly retro cars have been able to successfully update the retroness for a second generation (e.g. new beetle, pt cruiser),

then i'd say the chevrolet/gmc silverado/sierra. unusual for this forum yes, but i think that it was a significant re-do of the best full size truck out there. and from all accounts its way better than its predecessor. plus you need a tuck to tow your race car to the track.

lastly i will say the brera. i think it is the car that alfa will use to envigorate the company, and lead it back into the states, where it will be loved by all the people that have so missed it for all these years. i see it as being one of the most significant cars in their history.

My Nominations

1. Holden Commodore VE - in the same league as 5 Series, or E-Class, at a fraction of the price.

2. Mazda CX-7 - The crossover with the biggest emphasis on sportiness. Looks great in the flesh, and apparently it drives very well.

3. BMW 335 - Best looking of the current BMW's, and a great turbo engine with zero lag.

The Mazda MX5 CC I'd have next - same great drive, but with all the obvious benefits of a hardtop.

[007]

Well my nominations go to...

1. Alfa Romeo Spider- Look at who's bring sexy back. This is why people by drop-tops. Good looks and a fabulous engine. Who needs practicalty?

2. Mercedes-Benz CL- Its everything the S Class is, but in a more beautiful shape. Now dictators can take over a country in style.

3. Audi S8- Wow! I almost forgot about the most incredible super-saloon/luxury car to come out of the world this year. It is just an amazing car. Its fast, its a good looker and its an Audi. What else would you need? Oh right, a bank robbery!
