Doesn't do it for me...

and that view, for sure, is a bit phallic. For me, the sexiest cars are from the 50s and 60s... Take a look at the PinninFarina Ferraries of that era....

Nah, can't go along with it.

Funny they call it the "Sterling Moss." Of this car, Sterling called it "The greatest crumpet collector known to mankind." And I agree.

Wasn't there an SNL skit that used this car? The Ambiguously Gay Duo or something like that?

You can come up with some extremely gorgeous and exotic cars if you don't consider the cost. But for a car that is affordable to those who are not super-rich, the Audi R8 is my idea of SEXY !

Convertibles are great, but I prefer coupes. This car does it all for me:



Another example of the difference, just more modern:

I saw a fully restored XK-120 recently. That took top honors in my book.

Give it a hard top and black paint and it'll look like the batmobile from the old Batman Cartoon.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but it does it for me.

Sure the R8 is sexy, but...

The MB SLR doesn't work for me.

This one isn't bad for the price-

480 HP, Weight 3860 lbs

And the race version is even better- (not cheap though).

GTR GT500 Weight 2425 lbs
