buddy of mine's dad has one, and he says it is by far the fastest and most capable big car he has ever driven. His dad's past cars are: Audi S8, Merc E55 AMG, Audi A6 2.7TT (tuned).

That's a nice car history. And yeah that Sport Turismo is gorgeous. it really does look like a Hot Wheels car come to life. I'm also seriously intrigued by the full-zoot Turbo S Hybrid: 918 technology with room for 4+ luggage? Yes please.

Not in the same vein, but tonight I witnessed a mint Dodge 400 coupe on the highway, triple grey (laudau roof  ;D ) with the fender slots that mean it's a 2.2 turbo. Lean, mean Bubba machine !!

There is a mint Dodge Spirit R/T Turbo in my hood. Must hunt down the owner and strike up a chat.

I believe it. I would have a hard time deciding between the Turbo and the E63 wagon (in win the lottery terms)

Turbo for me.  It's a thing of beauty.  :drool:

Nice little MG.  Very minty!  The wind screen in the back looked fabricated and was a really good job.

I really like the Panamera GT. The performance is awesome. The interiors are terrific, and the exterior styling could almost be considered conservative considering the jagged and random character lines and gaping maws other companies are going with.

I think about this often as well. In a pinch, I think i'd go for the Porsche. If only on paper, it seems like it would be slightly better to drive and more agile thanks to all the Porsche suspension/steering wizardry -- not that I'd kick an E63 out of my driveway  :)

Saw this on my vacation at a place we stopped for breakfast. Ran out of time to ask the guy the story behind it.

Also swear I saw two A10 Warthogs the day before.

IQ and I saw a new S-Class convertible today.  While it was "nice", it sure didn't look like ~$200K worth of nice.  Yea, interior was nice too..but again...not what the price tag would suggest.  They whole thing seemed....not nice enough for the price.

A gorgeous early 70's 911 done in that insane Gulf Orange colour.  (Early car as it had the long hood!)  It sounded FAR from stock and scorched the earth pulling away from me on the on-ramp.  Lovely, just lovely.

By the wheel size, driver's seat and very VW Beetle-esque windshield, I'd say this is a neo-classic of some sorts from the '70s.
