OK...

Mine, I have a few. Mainly the E30 BMW M3: It's good looking, pretty quick and handles well. Then there the Zonda R and Huayra. Both are astonishing car, in both performance and looks. And finally, the new M5. It's beautiful...

The Renault Lutecia/Clio Sport V6. Why you ask?
-its looks. It is absolutely menacing. Yet it is also gorgeous.
-its motor. The rear seats were torn out and replaced with a V6.
-its performance. Top speed of 153 mph, 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, in a hot hatch.
-its gearbox. All of them have 6 speed manuals. Absolutely fantastic.
-its sound. Is fantastic.
Now if I could get one in the states.....

I change favorite cars way to often. I currently have 5. This is a short little post showing which cars I like, and why.


2011-Ford-Mustang-Shelby-GT500-Convertible-from-Front-Side-View-Picture-570x407.jpg

2011-Current Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible
Why: I am not a mustang fan. I honestly don't care about anything less than a GT350. I am, however, a SUCKER for the GT500 Convertible. It is impossible for me not to oogle over this American Engineering. I just love it way too much.



2012-Mercedes-Benz-SLK350-081.jpg

2012-Current Mercedes-Benz SLK350
Why: I loved the SLK, but when the second generation came out, I was greatly dissapointed. With the new generation, it takes the beautiful elements of the SLS into a smaller, more affordable, Sporty, luxury roadster. Plus, the SKYCONTROL (Or whatever; something like that) is really cool.



h3x1.jpg

2006(?) - 2010 Hummer H3x
Why: No matter what, this will always be part of my favorite car list, always. It may be a 50k gas guzzler, but it is still a really cool, fun, amazing off-roader and just an amazing SUV overall.



Land%20Rover-Range%20Rover-0.jpg

1986-2001 Land Rover Range Rover (Pictured is a 2nd Generation)
Why: This is what I want my first car to be. Not a 3rd Generation, because honestly I really don't care at all for that model. I'm talking the original, classic beauty of the first generation and the second generation. These two are serious off-roaders. The third just seems too flashy, anyways.



000_equus_nyca-580op2.jpg

2009-Current Hyundi Equus
Why: I promise you. You climb into one of these things and YOU WILL forget this is a Korean car. This car is one of the most elegant and beautiful cars I have ever been in. The outside isn't as appealing as an S-Class (Which was never appealing anyways) but the interior, is just....wow.



2011-Dodge-Durango-001.jpg

2011-Current Dodge Durango
Why: As soon as I set my eyes on this beautiful american SUV, I knew that I would lust to drive one. The old Durango's were great, and this one takes the greatness of the old, while making it more eco-friendly and updated to Dodge's current appeal.


Anyways, those are my favorites right now, but things can change! :)​
 
The 1985 Audi Quattro. What I loved about was they could take an every day hatchback and make it into a beastly Group B rally car that was so good it was eventually banned.
 
I dont remember where I first saw it, but my favorite car of all time is the Ferrari F40. I love simple cars with no electronic aids. Just raw power, and natural feeling, no numbness.

I cant say much about the feeling since I have never driven one, but in my opinion, the F40 was the last, supercar that was just raw, snarling, and bare bones. I love the look of the shifter, and I can only imagine what kind of sound it makes and what it feels like to row through the gears. I love that it doesnt have a radio, and the paint is so thin that you can see the carbon fiber weave.

Its a pretty car, that is built for speed. It may not be the fastest car, but I would bet the farm that its one of the most organic (is that the word I'm looking for?) feeling cars to drive ever built on this side of a Lotus 7 or the like.

I love this car.

I love that it's literally Japan in a 12 square foot footprint. I love that it takes on six-figure supercars for five. I love that everyone else seems to hate it, apparently. I love the fact that it was designed by engineers, not stylists. I love that it's the complete antithesis of the Audi R8 in that regard. and I loathe the R8. I love the nerdiness. I love the girth, and how it dissappears once you get behind the wheel. I love the everyday usability. I love how euro snobs look down their nose at it...as it disappears from them.
 
I have many favourite cars, ranging from tiny and funky city cars to flame-spitting hypercars, via RWD roadsters and certain big SUVs (but not the tasteless ones). However, to find my very favourite, look to my username. The smart Roadster is a perfect car to me - it's fun, it's cheap, it has low running costs and looks good. I like it particularly with big, fat rear tires and the engine from a Japanese superbike...
 
My sordid affair involves the Citroën SM.

To wit, it had: self-centering steering, self-leveling hydro-pneumatic suspension, swiveling headlights, and the appearance of a spaceship.
