I am amazed at how many people focus on modern vehicles. These days vehicle design is heavily influenced by aerodynamics, and function. In years past form as an art form was more important, as little was apprciated about aerodynamics. I guess my aging eye's appreciate those older styles more than the majority of the six speed crowd.

Now if you asked me what car would I want to drive today...

You know I was thinking the exact same thing. In fact I was thinking the question was way too general for me to answer...what is best? Exotic, classic, luxury...well I just can't pick...so I'll stay out of it.

New Lambo Miura? Really? I went to the initial private unveiling of that car. Now we all know what my favorite car company is, but that car was horrible. Let the Miura rest in peace please!

Most of the responses are quite silly since you NEVER see most of these in real life.

For cars you can actually see every now and then:

1. Porsche TT
2. Dodge Viper
3. Corvette C5
4. Jag Xk8
5. New Mustang
6. Acura NSX

Well first i agree. But also the times have changed, cars were more exotic i feel back then, with the exception of a few cars in today's world (Enzo, Pagani, Koenessig, CGT) and they have all progressed in technology and beauty making older exotics and sportscars classics but dated to be the "best" looking cars out there now IMO.

I mean i love the Countache, 512M, Testerossa and tons of other cars. They are just all so different from modern day cars!
