As long as we're going OT to non-current models:
Auburn Boat Tail Speedster, '68 Camaro SS w/Cragers (medium blue metallic w/ 2 wide white stripes), Cistalia, Packard, 240Z, MB SSK, TR6, Vette ('84 to ~'94), Ferrari Daytona.

Would beg to differ on all fronts. First off they're not going to be 10 a penny according to local dealers for quite some time. And in LA at least it really doesn't get any more 10 a penny than a 911 anyway.

Second as far as useability, don't comment on it unless you've driven one. As a multiple P Car owner, the R8 is just as useable, bar the "potential" back seats a Porsche has for kids and midgets. Unlike most exotics you can see out of it just fine and the controls are as easy as an RS4. Even after a couple of hours sitting in traffic I got out of it feeling fresh.

I put 700 miles on one in a week going from stop and go traffic, freeway runs and "spirited" canyon carving. And even filling it full of gear for a couple of errands. The motor is amazing with power everywhere from 2k to 8.2k RPM and makes a sound that will give you a chub with every poke of the throttle.

On the looks front, yes this is subjective, but the car is way out of the box, and maybe even love or hate, but personally I love it and judging by the reception it got everyone else does too.

As far as handling, feel etc., I've got to say its raised the bar on the 911. Goes from boulevard soft to race raw edged without batting an eye. Grip is amazing and steering is right there w/ best in class Porsche. Maybe not quite as quick as the new Turbo but its cheaper (and about the same price as a well optioned slower C4S) and personally I'll take 420 N/A hp over a turbo any day of the week.

I've been a Porsche guy for a long while, but Porsche has been outdone on this one. Worth a look if you can stretch to it. I want one!

So maybe it isn't quite current but 2008 is right around the corner and I had to change my pants after watching this

I am very sorry to say, ONLY Ferraris.

355, 360, 430

That's all, not even the new GT3 or a 997 turbo can get me excited.

I don't know what happened, all I can say is that I shouldn't start looking at Ferraris at all.

Toddimus

Pretty much all Porsches with a model number less than 912

Most Ferraris

Lambos, Astons, AMG, ...

Nobody's mentioned the Lotus Exige!! I'd love for that to be my third car after an old 911/356/550 as my second car.

Cheers
