    So pretty much the secret is donky rims and lots of go-fast tape trim.

    Someone should come up with a new rear end. The front of the new model is better than the last but that rear is wrong. I was hoping Roush or Saleen would come up with a different one but nothing so far.

    @Syrax: I saw one on the road the other day. I thought it was cool that they included sequential tail lights, but it doesn't look as good with the new LEDs, since they come on all at once rather than fading on and off.

    The only one I would put on is the quarter window covers. I do like the double entendre of the "Over-The-Top Stripes". Yes they really are over the top.

    One note too is that aluminum body panels etc can lead to a bigger premium. I recall reading that the Audi A8 and it's brethren were expensive insurance headaches because of the limited body shop expertise in working on aluminum parts.

    @HDC: True. The A8, R8, and Jaguar XK (as well as the XJ which I was suprised didn't make the 'cut,' are all aluminum.

    @mentir: The XJ is just as hard to fix, but:


    1. It never stays running long enough to take it out on the road.


    2. The retired bankers who drive them don't go out much.

    @BigHarv: You haven't noticed Mercedes' trend of getting really porky? Even the SLR McLaren weighs in at a rather portly 3898 lbs, and an SL65 AMG (non-Black Series) is a shocking 4555 lbs. Yeah, two and a quarter tons of two-seater... what's wrong with this picture?

    Most of them are expensive. Most of them are primarily driven by douchebags. All of them are one or the other.
