    For (semi) affordable 'must have' fun on a realistic level, why not an FPV F6 .. or the distinctly affordable Ford XR6T or Holden SS?

    I second the FPV F6 and XR6T nominations, for something that is old,i also add the Miura.

    Ariel Atom 500, kind of surprised no one has said the 430 Scuderia yet.

    I had a dream about me picking up Heidi Klum (no more details included) and it was in a white 8C Spider. So the 8C Spider is my choice.

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    I swear as soon as the Nuova 500 is available in North America I'm jumping on one. I'm unsure we'll get the Abarth models though...

    And I can't wait for Alfa Romeo to re-enter the North American market.

    Fantastic car no doubt.

    But the Alfa Romeo is the best looking contemporary car, it has a great V8 and above all it's an Alfa Romeo. Which means it so cool it could end with global warming.

    Or something.

    Yeahhh, Drakkie's Fiesta thanks.

    No but really I like the Scuderia, no conventional colours though.
    Miscommunication seems to be a direct result of misplaced, text based sarcasm.

    Probably you'd only get the Abarths because Fiat has a very negative image there and because for some reason you need very powerful cars even if you never exceed 55mph.

    It's actually 62 in Canada

    Or rather 100 km/h since we are cool enough to use the SI units. (Oh no not another SI units debate!)

    I quite like low-powered cars, and with the current price of petrol I'd gladly drive something that gets great fuel economy. The Cobalt is dubbed an "econobox", yet 11-litre/100 km is as economical as it can get. My pockets don't exactly appreciate that.
