All german cars are boring. Maybe a few BMW aren't, let me think about it. Thinking. Nope, BMW is boring as well. Porsche is, as far as expensive sports cars go, the most boring company. It looks like a division of VW designed it (of course, Porsche is actually going to take over VW, but that's a different story), and I can't recall the last time anything came out of VW that wasn't boring. __________________
It's a VW too, so it's boring. Yes, I know it says Bugatti somewhere, but let's be honest, it's a clear WOB case. The design looks like someone went wild with a Passat.
Specs are only half the deal. If I just want to see HP, I go to my local train station. Name, style and mystique is very important. Bugatti has that, to a degree, but the Veyron looks like a VW (except for the radiator) and most marketing material talks about the engineers in Wolfsburg having done great things. And VW isn't a sports car company. __________________
Yes, and it's been going downhill ever since... They still build nice cars, don't get me wrong, but the Murcielago and Gallardo aren't exactly as extreme as the Miura, Countach and Diablo in my opinion. The Reventon looks like a car for kids who like racing games. I'm such a kid myself so I can't help but find it cool, but it's not exactly great style IMHO. __________________

I love BMW's. They're sort of like a conservative car. They perform well but don't go all out on the styling. __________________
Funny thing: I just read about a tuner who offers a higher performance version of the M3. And the headline for this, the thing it was compared to: "BMW M3 with ICE speed" (the ICE is a german high speed train). Trains FTW! __________________
cochrane... the reason it looks like VW's, google the vw squareback, the front end looks a hell of a lot like a porsche and they also have a 911 turbo engine... __________________
