Cars! - Page 21

I don't think that, all things considered, there's a more well rounded car than the MB CL65 AMG. I'm sure you've all read about it. I can tell you that, without a doubt, it is my dreamcar. Granted, it is a coupe, and some would prefer something larger, but I do believe it has about everything somebody could ever want in a car. Phenomenal interior and incredibly fast.

CL65 is a pretty nice car, I think I might rather have a SL65 though

I just love the Spyker cars, they're very awesome. The factory is struggling though. Ironically enough they have way to many orders, they can't produce on a sufficient enough scale to make it profitable. This is the website BTW: http://www.spykercars.nl/. For me at last it is a chance to be chauvinistic, we don't have great (or famous at least) tailors in Holland. We're not known for our cuisine. We had some okay painters though. But now we got something that matters in every country. A cool car   And about that MB automatic? The 7-step automatic is pretty damn good.

Those Spykers are produced in this little town: Zeewolde: Just like Modena, Maranello or Sant'Agata isn't it

Actually Modena is not too small a town, I think it has like 100k people, and it's rather nice, I had lunch there on the way to Marannello, which is more rustic but still seems fairly suburban, not exactly a village. The Ferrari plant was pretty nuts, there were literally Enzos with bug splatter and road grime sitting on the side of the road.

Roy, glad to finally meet someone who's actually heard of the Spyker...I didn't know they're having manufacturing troubles. Mind you I should have known when one of the few dealers in the US who was going to sell them suddenly stopped talking about them. I would hate to see them stop production, it's such a unique car with one of the most beauitful interiors I've ever seen. A.

It's picking up where Aston Martin left off. AM doesn't handbuilt their cars anymore. Spyker does. It is just so damned expensive. Without taxes it's already 320.000 euros. Which is more expensive than a Vanquish INCLUDING taxes.

Now here is a car....Allard

I drive an Alfa Romeo 156.

Since Alfas aren't imported into the US commercially any more, I don't really follow the line. Which one is yours?

This is an Alfa 156:

The one Roy posted is after the facelift. This is the front as it was. Spot the (agressive) difference

This isn't really a standard car I think. Look at the front bumper and the rims.

Nice wheels. I especially like the front end -- it's like nothing else on the road here in the US.

I like Alfa, they're quite nice. They're very common here. You'd probably see as many 156s in Europe as F-150s in Texas.
