Dude! Pics!

That thing is crazy cool! Fob's gonna poop!
I'm not even a Landy guy, but SOB I like that!

While its cool and all, that legendarily shoddy british build quality gets a huge no thank you from me.

Was their ever a more perfect looking car? Sadly I can't afford this.

Interestingly I have never seen the underside of one and I had idea they looked like that.

So small, purposeful and lithe. Compared to some of the road behemoths of the time, they looked tiny, even more so today in a sea of bloated SUVs.

Yes, the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. But, this Lotus is a beauty.

I'd counter with the Dino, but yeah....
I left a pool of drool on the floor staring at this one

GTOs and Dinos are great looking, absolutely.

Something about Lotus though. It's about the smallest, lightest car they could build and the bodywork looks like the absolute minimal amount necessary to cover the gubbins. I like the ethos.

Absolutely. And somehow they managed to make a tiny and minimal car look just "right".

Thought this was kind of interesting. 2005 Crossfire with a manual and just 25k on it for $7k.

Always kinda liked the Crossfire. Really hated the nose and hood though, it looks way too much like a first gen pacifica from the front.

Yeah, the original Crossfire Concept had a different grill with vertical headlights - looked much better overall IMHO.

The Crossfire when priced well offers a lot of performance for the $. It does look very different though.

Sir Osis of Liver · « **Reply #4473 on:** June 11, 2019, 06:35:56 pm »

Face could have been better, the exterior is pretty interesting. I kinda like it.

The mechanicals were early 2000s Mercedes though. Maybe not a highpoint for the company.

There's an understatement. If you get one cheap enough, the fixes are numerous but fairly well known.

I think if you're rolling the dice it might as well be the SRT version...

I would counter with the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. Perfection. That hip line!
