I think that it is necessary to maka a remark here
manufactures of these cars don't care about these cars, but if they want to join the FIA GT-series the model they used needed to be based on a streetversion of a car...
they also neede to produce at least 25 of these cars, with a maximum price of 1 million US dollars..
and since developing a car costs ALOT of money, especially a car you (manufacturer) don't want to produce..
YOU BUILT 25 FOR THE PRICE OF 1 MILLION DOLLARS
they are sure they are going to sell them to the 25 richest peeps in the world, so losing them is not the problem..
this way, the losses per car stay as low as possible.
the reason you never here again from these cars is that they all are standing in private museums (waaaaayyy to expensive if you crash one of the cars) and nobody sees them again
oh yeah: abt: W12 your dreamcar?? good thing, but for me it still remains a volkswagen (builder of 20 million golfs and 20 million beetles..massproducts) or 'car for normal peeps' (no offense :P )

(btw, my own dreamcar is the koenisegg CC from sweden, posted a pic of this thingy in a thread a couple mounds ago, don't feel like doin that again, just for the record) |
You are right buddy...A VW is a VW through and through. Yes they are fun cars, but they have to rebrand that car in order for it to be taken seriously.
I am still a bit sore with VW since they keep building their cars more and more mainstream. The GTI as mentioned in another post is becoming more and more 'old man friendly' not what GTis have always stood for. And also, IMO they are becoming very very expensive given it is a 2 door Golf. Its an overweight hatchback...don't get me wrong I am liking the newer GTIs as a car...the price is extreme for what is being bought, I think. I as a consumer of a GTI would rather have VW cut the cost a bit and take out some of the BS options. Its 2 doors...I dont like power windows and door locks. Save that and give me a better designed exhaust system, a slightly more powerful rev happy engine, a more firm ride...something that will make me think I am driving a no-nonsense sporty car. My 2 cents.
BMW is hype. The M3 shown up top is grossly overpriced. Any one can buy a regular M3 bring it to a serious tuner and make it even faster and spend a third the price...IMO
The Benz posted above is a breath of fresh air to me since I really dislike Benzitos...I don't like the grilles, I don't go crazy for the overly round look and they just don't do it for me but the one posted here was damn nice. RS6 is KICK ASS...plain and simple Audis are my faves. S4 and TT especially! Notice my avatar...
