Since no one else mentioned the Paris show, I took it upon myself to do so. Aren't I nice. :D

Alfa 147 GTA should hopefully come over here. Just like the rest of Alfa should. Or not. Depends on how reliable Alfas are....
Bently Continental GT looks like a winner. Just think I'd rather build me a new house rather than buy a 2+2-seater. :-/
BMW Z4...I've been down that road way too many times. :(
Mazda debuts the MPS: 280HP, turbo, AWD. (Told ya it'd be here, MazKid. ;) )
Volvo S60R destined for greatness, stealing the limelight from the V70R (which probably isn't bad, but the S60R is just soo much cooler).


2004 Impreza:

I like it, and I don't. I like the design, my girlfriend doesn't, and I don't like what it implies for possible needed bodywork a few years down the road, with the bugeye version only being a 18-month run. At least the US will see the STi...and I still like my bugeyed car. Uniqueness is good and bad...but mostly good. ;)

Sorry, M5Power, they are making a 2004 M1. The pics aren't clear (probably because it's a BLACK HATCHBACK) but I still think there's promise, especially for the M1.


BMW 6-Series:

In a word: FUGLY. The ugly, Autobahn-storming sister to the 2002 M5.

What exactly do you have against the M1? Is it that you respect the original M1 so much, and this new M1 is nothing like the original? That I can understand, but I don't know what else they'd call it without resorting to ML-style branding (i.e., Merc avoiding the M55/M5 mixup...as if there'd be any). You don't have anything against the car itself, do you?
