Top 10 Non-German Cars!

Merc1 · 11-21-2007, 04:25 AM

This is your wish list for 10 cars, but they can't be German. They can be German made, but not of German branding. My list:

1. Aston-Martin DBS - The world's most beautiful production automobile.

2. Ferrari 599GTB - Ferrari's best car, period.

3. Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder - Stunning.

4. Aston-Martin V8 Vantage N400 Roadster - One of the best looking roadsters around.

5. Jaguar XKR Cabriolet - The "poor" man's Aston-Martin.

6. Infiniti G37 Coupe - The closest thing to a BMW 3er Coupe that you can currently get from Japan.

7. Ferrari F430 Spider - Still stunning.

8. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster - Still probably the most outrageous way to travel on land.

9. Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT - The anti-German sedan if there ever was one.

10. Bentley Arnage - The old-worlde aristocrat.

Honarable Mentions: Lexus LS460L, Lexus IS-F, Nissan GT-R, Ford Mustang GT500KR, Jaguar XJR, Jaguar XF, Maserati GranTurismo, Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo, Bentley Brooklands, and the Range Rover Sport Supercharged. Some of these I just need to see in person, like the Brooklands.
