I'm going to buy one of those because I really want to die in a car crash.

When you need the Jaws of Life to GET INTO a car, that's just too small.

Perhaps a Corbin-Sparrow then? (Now Myers Motors)

My brother had an Isetta,
he sold it for not much more than he paid.

...buy a motorcycle instead

How about a Lit Motors C-1 - "Rolling Smart Phone"?......"This vehicle combines the efficiency and freedom of a motorcycle with the safety and convenience of a car."

And here´s what sporty BMW pulled up with in the 1950s.

If I'm honest, that is the best way to go for a three-wheel vehicle. And, you can tell folks that you drive a BMW without being a liar. (Classic show "Family Matters," in that one episode where Laura told Steve she'd go out with anyone who picked her up in a BMW. So, Steve rolled up in one of these. It's a genuine BMW.)

A modern-day version would have to incorporate a reverse gear though. Something this version lacks.

Here are a few pics from the NY Auto Show. It was awesome. I took 550 pics in 2 days.

The thing I really like is the matte finish on some of these cars, like the R8 above. It looks phenomenal in white. I think I like it better than glossy.

I must admit, the yellow Enzo on the first page of this thread is hands down my favorite all time.

It's a little too low to the ground.

The sticker said "AWD system included"..

Saudi prince station wagon; I'd prefer the quicker/roomier/cheaper Porsche Panamera Turbo S..

My brother-in-law drove an S,,
he said its so refined, there really isn't any sense of speed.

btw, when I saw the FF, I thought it was a one-off at first,
haven't been up on my Maranello cars lately.

moving on,, guess this four door?

That's an Aston Martin Rapide.

Corolla RS concept:

Brembo brakes! :naughty:. Orange/black combination. oo:.

You'll feel 0-100 in under 8 seconds.. Added bonus: you can now rent base model Panameras at Hertz, true story..

Top Gear tossed one around a snow track; it has a very complex AWD system that's lower to the ground than any other, but it shuts off after 70mph, not ideal for inclement highway driving. It's probably the best looking shooting brake ever, but no one will remember it once Ferrari releases the F12..

Corolla RS concept:

Still one of my fave small cars, the stiff frame and super quick steering would make for a fine city performance car, and it doesn't look half bad riced..

For that much, it better include a super-model who can cook, clean, do laundry, and not talk back except to tell me how incredible I am.
