Still love the Lotus Esprit
Still think this is one of the best exterior car designs in history.. Looks amazing all these years later.. Ya there were some quirky parts bin interior parts.. and the big downfall to this car was the gearbox.. but otherwise a fine, very fast, unique yet always recognizable legend of a sports car!

2013 Scion FR-S
Interesting Car... I'll be the first to admit.. the first thing I think of when I hear Scion is "eh it's a College girl car" and I haven't really been interested in Toyota since the departure of the Supra.. but this is really an interesting little car.. (Rumor is it's more Subaru than Toyota?) What most excites me is thank GOODNESS IT'S RWD!!

Up close and personal with the new SRT Viper - BBC Top Gear
Hmm.. New Viper SRT looks more like the original than the last gen.. Have to say I'm loving the interior.. not near as "kit car'ish" as previous Vipers

1988 C4 Corvette
Here is a cool video from across the pond of a beautiful 1988 Corvette. I have to admit I've always had a love hate with Corvettes... Was not a huge fan of the C3, or the C5 for that matter.. But always had a glorious childhood love affair with the C4. Yes I'm a sucker for the digital dash.. And almost bought an 1989 one time.. Still I often think "man I'd love to find a nice late 80's Corvette" And after seeing this video it may have sold me!

Have You Considered Every Benz But SECs?
I say "Nice Price" well.. maybe a bit high.. but the SEC cars are some of the best Mercedes ever built.. and in my opinion of the finest cars ever made...
