    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.
    11L/100km for an econobox? ouch V8 commodores can get that with a little care

    That's incredible.

    The Mini is better and at European speeds...

    Do Want cars of 2008? How about the HSV Clubsport R8 Tourer? The first van with a Corvette LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 317kW (425hp) and 550Nm (405 ft-lbs) of torque ith manual transmission.
    Its not a one-off. HOlden will produce 120 ClubSport R8 Tourers for the Australian market in 2008.

    I do... That car is awesome...

    It drives like what a Ferrari should be... It's just pure passion.

    No carpets, no stereos, No satellite Navigation...

    Nothing in the car to destract you of your job in the cockpit...

    To drive, and drive, and drive...

    For me... The Ferrari 430 Scuderia is even better than an Enzo...

    I want one in Black with Red American Muscle car stripes (Not the Stock Stripes) and with modified doors so it would open like a butterfly-type or scissor-type door... I want to put wheels that looks sporty... And finally, i want to add a rear wing on it... Engine upgrades too (twin-superchargers or twin-turbochargers)... If you think the car might look horrible... I wasn't trying to make it pretty, I was trying to make it look more of a race-ready GT car...

    i agree that the scud is awesome but butterfly/scissor doors and forced induction make no sense, since no 430 race car has either, it would be ugly, silly, and ruin the dynamics with the extra weight.

    Or something.
    I love the 8C coupe, but I'm just not a fan of the Spyder. For the record, I'd say 8C coupe and 430 Scuderia are contestants for last year.

    You mean 135i?

    I might go for a Subaru STI. Just because I feel like being modest.

    If I wanted something a little more crazy, I'd get the 911 Carrera S, facelifted version. What's the numbering for that then? Still 997? 997.5?

    But if I were to go batshit crazy, I'd go for the Murcielago LP640. Or the Gallardo LP540.

    Actually, I'm surprised no one mentione the Estoque, although it might be because it's still a concept, but it shouldn't look drastically different when it's in production.

    In terms of looks I actually prefer the Spider. The back is even better in my opinion.
