    SuperSport is interesting and rare enough.
    Regular Contis are dime a dozen.....

    No argument there. I can't see a first time buyer going straight for the FF.

    I have yet to see a SuperSport or a Qvale on the streets, so pretty rare.

    If you spend an hour downtown, you're guaranteed to see at least 2 or 3. I wouldn't call them exotic.

    Location is a huge factor. Bentleys are exotic in Dayton, OH, not in Chicago. I literally saw four black Bentley Continentals in the span of 2 minutes/3 blocks when walking back from lunch today. Granted, 2 of them were dealer cars but still...

    I think it was this one, rare car. And the FF is huge for a Ferrari. Just look at its measurments. Back in the good old days most Ferrari's had 2400-2600mm wheelbases. I remember seeing a Qvale at the Chicago Auto show years ago. I still have a pile of brochures for it.

    I've never seen a SS or a Qvale either.

    Looking at Exoticspotter, 3 have been spotted in the suburbs.

    Regular Continentals are very common, even the Speeds. I probably see 1-2 a week in the suburbs, extremely common in the city.

    Saw a BMW X6///M in Skokie today. Are those "exotic?" This was my first.

    They're rare but I don't consider any BMW an exotic short of a Z8, M1, that sort of thing.

    Okay. Just wondering. Alpinas, too, are rare.

    I agree, last time I checked I don't see Bentley's everyday. So whenever I do happen to see one I'm psyched to have seen an exotic.

    I don't necessarily view them as exotic either but rare yes. Was in a brand new B7 not that long ago, really well done car..

    Seen 2 Viper ACR's lately. One in Evanston on the same block as my apartment, another on Lake Shore Drive going north.

    In my daily trip to the Gold Coast there is usually a Mondial Cab parked close to where my mother works.

    Speaking of BMW's I've seen 4 Z8's lately, I love that car. I had never seen one on the street its first 11 years of existence. Unfortunately 2 of them had those ugly Alpina rims, which ruins a beautiful car :rolleyes:

    As for the Continental GT, I see 3 or 4 per week, they're meh. No SuperSports outside of Bentley Gold Coast though. If I would see a 1990's Continental T or previous generation Continental, that would be much better.

    Sorry for the links but I won't be able to subscribe for a couple weeks so links:

    They are rare, I've only seen two B7s. They are cool looking, better than the regular 7 series.

    Nice! I hardly ever see Z8s. I saw my first of this year a few weeks ago. I actually like the Alpina Z8s. Especially those wheels. I feel that it makes them look good. I like seeing classic Bentleys and Rollers, and I like the Brooklands and Arnages, etc. Those are exotic.

    Was one of those Viper ACRs white with a red stripe and have a plate referencing DJing? If so I saw that car near LSD and Irving Park on Tues.
