    Summertime Car

    Here's the Question:

    If you could have any car on sale today (regardless of price or insurance), delivered at your doorstep today but you had to give it back September 1st and couldn't drive one again for a full year, what car would it be?

    Alpine A110...(not officially ON sale but surely available for a good price)
    otherwise a DS3 THP1.6

    Ariel Atom. To me the perfect summer car, also why would I want to drive it during the winter? Win Win

    I think I'd go with a Wiesmann Roadster. But only because Triumph went bust.

    I agree though that the Phantom DHC would be a fun summer car, as long as you're not looking for a sportscar.

    Spyker C8. Not sure I'd want one for ever, but it'd be fun for a summer.
    Life's too short to drive bad cars.

    i suppose it depends on where you live, but i swear convertibles are the most useless cars to have in summer.
    you get sunburnt, hot, sweaty, and the cars look worse than the hardtop versions (where applicable).
