Thanks mate!

1-Jaguar XKR. It looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous.



2-Vaneo. An atrocity to the excellent Mercedes-Benz name.



3-Toyota Prius. Ugly, not all that eco-friendly, not particularly economical, slow and driven by tossers.



4-Lamborghini.



5-All Chinese brands. They have no scruple whatsoever. They make cars with no care and not a slight bit of passion. Poorly engineered and badly built heaps of utter junk. Chinese cars are the real waste of the world's resources.



6-Skoda. Affordable, reliable cars with a bit of zest, handsome looks and nicely made interiors.



7-Maybach. They have never been profitable.



8-Nice. But nice is...well...just nice. I quite like the looks of the the new IS and the GS450h is the only hybrid car I actually like. But you can't help thinikng, the only reason why they succeeded is because they copied the Germans, and come to think to think of it, all good Japanese cars are fax-simile copies of something first dreamed-up by the Europeans.



9- Rubbish, unreliable cars with beautiful looks to die for, reasonably priced and the best sounding V6 engines. 159 Sportwagon and the 166 are my favourite.


10-Yes. Should never bought them (Chrysler) in the first place.


11- No.



12- One of Jeremy Clarkson’s least favourite car in the world, because according to him, he always felt it was designed in a coffee break by people who couldn’t care less about cars. And just for his displeasure, I just ordered the most insensible car he has ever heard off.


13-Porsche 911 (997) Turbo


14-Last year.



15-No.


16-Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.


17-Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG.



18-Chris Bangle.



19- Ayrton Senna.



20-Formula 1.


21-All those who thanked my posts.

I'm amazed you guys all think the S65 is the ultimate luxury car - I would have thought it might at least be the CL65 ...but what about the Bentley Azure, or Rolls-Royce Phantom DHC
