Are we talking money here???

It's one of those.... if you have to ask, you can't afford it moments....

Price tag around £606,000.. about $1,190,000

No point in buying a Japanese or Italian car when you can afford German luxury.. it's just that much better. Or maybe I'd get this:

Welcome to the club. It's the engine sound. And it handles like a roller coaster.

Thank you. Yes, the engine sound is quite enjoyable. I wouldn't be able to resist not driving it every day so i'm not sure how long it would last.

As much as I'd love a Bugatti, if it could only be one I'd have to second the Aston Martin DBS...pure automotive bliss right there and possibly the sexiest thing on four wheels (although the Alfa gives it a run for its money).

Lamborghini has always been the only 'exoticar' I've found attractive

But the R8 and Veyron I'd consider if a Lamborghini wasn't in the picture.

Aside from that I personally don't like eurostyle at all.

Ill take the Ferrari 599 GTB coupe. probably the BEST 2 seat front engine V12 from a factory. did you know the engine in this car is the same one from the now out of production Enzo? and did you know it puts out even more power in the 599? I like it because it is what it is, a modern version of the classic 365 GTB/4 'daytona'

Well most cool cars are imports here. Except the Koenigsegg, that's our pride

as much as I'd love to say that I can see myself owning a McLaren SLR, Enzo Ferrari or Audi R8, I have a mental block on most cars that were built by former axis power countries... the only, and I do mean ONLY, reason that I can justify the Civic that I do own is the fact that it was built in the US by Americans... if I could have gotten a Cobalt SS for anywhere CLOSE to what I got my Civic for, I'd be a Cobalt owner.

so, with that in mind, I have to choose the DBS... because its fast, sexy and good enough for Bond
