BMW is finally back, the 135i drives and feels like the 1989 BMW M3. Small, tight, when driving it you can actually the road. Control every aspect and move of the car. You also have a twin turbo 300 hp engine, for such a small car that only weighs 3438 lbs.
Finally an exotic Audi, after 3 years of waiting it is finally here. It has the style and looks, and the performance, but how does it do on the track. And you do get what you paid for, an Audi. A wide screen navigation system. With thrown in bucket seats, and a V8 engine which will keep you to the edge of your seat.| Engine | |

Inspired by the McLaren F1 and Mercedes Benz 300 SLR of 1955, the SLR is the fastest automatic transmission car in the world. SLR stands for "Sport, Leicht, Rennsport". Also the most expensive Mercedes-Benz ever made. And in 7 years of productions only 500 have been made. And also it's only a V8, while most Ferrari's it compares with are V12's.
The all new Nissan, probably the best yet import ever made, that is legal in the U.S. It can compete with the BMW M3 and the Ferrari Spyder and at a low price of $69,850. The most anticipated skyline is to come out in 2009.

One of the cheapest yet most world wide known exotic car. The Lamborghini Gallardo, is for those who can't afford a Diablo or a Murcielago, but still have the chance to show of their wealth. The slick design of Lamborghini's is most stunning to me, first time I've seen the Gallardo was in a video game "NFS: Most Wanted". Although I've never been in one, I am most looking forward to it.
Still the most affordable exotic sports car there is today. Handles like a Ferrari, flies like a Beamer. Although considered a muscle car, I wouldn't agree, because muscle is mostly made to go straight and fast. The Corvette though has both the handling ability and the acceleration.| Engine | |

Every mans dream ever since they were kids. This car is not meant to be driven by the owner, but driven around by their own private driver. This car feels like home, with a nice fuzzy carpet, tables that recline out of the seat where you can have lunch, it has enough room to sleep in, and it is also comfortable. And if you need to get somewhere fast, it has the power.| Engine | |

Probably the most anticipated Ferrari in history. When buying the buyers are invited to the Ferrari factory to have the cockpit of their car tailored to their specific needs. There will be a choice of four width fittings for both the cushion and backrest of the leather trimmed multi-adjustable Sparco seats. The position of the accelerator and brake pedals can be adjusted fore and aft – and sideways to accommodate drivers who prefer to use left-foot braking. Named in honor of the Italian auto maker’s founder, the Enzo is the latest special edition supercar to come out of Maranello.| Engine | |||

Everyone wants a Cadillac, the new slick design for 2009 is not very different on the outside. But on the inside their you can see a major difference. A supercharged V8 with 550 hp and 550 torque. That is amazing for a V8, but still a 4 door, this makes it not a good comparison to Corvette, or the new Dodge challenger. Cadillac wants the new CTS-V to be faster than the 500-horsepower, $82,900 BMW M5 but cost about $25,000 less. A price from the high $50,000s to the low $60,000s.| Engine | |

The Chrysler 300c SRT-8 is an amazing vehicle, it is one of the newest American muscles cars and it's great. Although engineered by Daimler a German Motor vehicle company it is still seen as an American car. Based on an old Mercedes E-Class chassis this vehicles handles splendidly. With a 6.1 liter V8, and hemi engine, Chrysler can't go anymore wrong with this car. This vehicle reminds me of the 2004 Rolls Royce Phantom, that is probably where the 300c gets it's great looks from.| Engine | |
