    I've been paying attention on MB new ML, GST, Audi Pike Peak, Ford GT, Corvette Z06, Lotus Elise Exige, Ferrari F430, & 575SA.

    What are other cars worth paying attention, looking at, or buying?

    I have seeing some threads posted on some cars, but I forget it later, SO combining some interesting cars in one thread.

    Pics or link will be appreciated, too.

    Honestly, I can't think of a single new US production vehicle that isn't either italian or an ultra-low-volume like the Koniggsegg.

    Wow.

    The US Elise is ok. If you like an extra 500lbs and a motor that's peakier than a turbo monstrosity with a valve change at 6000rpm. It's only good from 6k-8k, and the gears aren't even that long. The Euro car is really much better.

    It's peaky, but more consistant than a turbo engine. The euro car cannot compare power-to-weight.

    Hi! Ben.
    I cannot find any picture of Koniggsegg. Do you have one?

    Alex,
    is this the AM's Ferrari rival? Looks classy that you can tell James Bond would drive this car!

    I read the third wave of Exotic Supercars is here, but haven't seen any new comers yet...

    I am pretty sure its main aim is the 911, but im sure the Ferraris werent completley overlooked while making the car, very sleek and cool car i think.

    Probably too cheap for your tastes, but a 1st generation Mazda Miata.

    Thanks Alex for posting pics. I first googled for pics, but I couldn't find any, but just articles & forums.

    Mpolans, I like the first generation of Miata than later generations. Matter of fact, I did own 1 for about 1 year. It was nimble fun car!

    Vibrant 5oh, I have owned 911 Turbo before, but not new 997. Would there be a great difference between 911 & 997? I don't have Porsche people around me, so I have no idea now.

    I drove Chrysler 300C last weekend, and I liked the front look, but not much for the rear. The car drove pretty comfortable. I would be interested in this car over Accord or Camry if I'm in the market for a sedan.

    Does anyone know anything about the release of Audi SUV, Pikes Peak?

    The 997 is a 911. Just designation for the new generation. The previous generation 911 was called a 996, the one before that a 993, and so on.

    Just thought i'd clear that up for you. It's just the new 911.
