I once saw a e28 528e with over 1.4 million miles on it, on ebay. How many engine rebuilds a decade are we allowed, not that the eta needs one every 300,000?
I'm going to have to agree with you on this on, the entries below are for the most part Japanese interpretations of western cars. I'm looking at you Miata, Celica, 240Z, etc, etc. The AZ-1 is 100% Japan, and defines the kookiness that we love the land of the rising sun so much for. Not to say the FD RX-7 isn't bonerriffic.
I like cars with short, indecipherable, to the uninitiated, letters and numbers on them. You know, like BMW used to do before things had to be "active" and at least a paragraph in length.
There is something cool about a utilitarian super car (ie F1 or Atom), these days a good portion of being super, or more so, hyper, is in being as baroque as possible.
It's awesome. It's what everyone has been clamoring for. It's a triumph! And a future s/r/sti/whtever version for 30 something will be epicness incarnate.
