I got to choose the Exige out of all those, its almost my absolute favourite car in the world at the moment, here is a pic of a very cold Exige from last saturday at work :p

Elise, not the Exige because the Elise I can actually live with day to day...

It's got everything except space, but lets face it, I'm not travelling with anyone and that's what the passenger seat area is for, luggage. Plus, get an ipod and 10,000 songs, 600 dollars, and luggage, I could do a pan-any-continent-tour.

I got all of you beat. I'm going with the 2002 Morgan Plus 8 Le mans 62.

Price: $66,250
Curb Weight: 2075 lbs

It's oh so classy.

How can you compare the Exige and VX220 Turbo to these other cars? Oh, and the JCW Cooper S is about $25000 not $20000

I would choose the elise.. but it would be a little hard to ride in that daily.. so, I'd have to say Lexus IS300.. but apart from the list, I'd take a 325Ci.

EDIT: I thought there was sort of a price limit.. because otherwise, I woulda chosen a 330Ci coupe. Guess thats my new choice then. Hopefully it's 225 horses isn't too much. But hey, the IS300 has 215 ;-)

Golf GTI for me!!

I'd choose something between the Exige, the 325Ci, the Focus RS, RX-8, blah blah... I don't know really, there are so many good choices with ~200 HP that I can't even begin comparing them... :confused: :eek:

face it. None of you will beat the morgan.

face it. None of you will beat the morgan.
eh, 1953 Ferrari 250 Europa? 1923 Leyland Eight? 1964 Maserati 3500GT? 1939 Maybach Zeppelin? 1928 Mercedes-Benz SSK? 1967 Mercury Cougar?

face it. None of you will beat the morgan.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R
and only 178HP!

i'll bet you all know my favorite car no matter HP :)
even if i was a billionaire the first car it would be the RS

i coulda guessed that.

eh, 1953 Ferrari 250 Europa? 1923 Leyland Eight? 1964 Maserati 3500GT? 1939 Maybach Zeppelin? 1928 Mercedes-Benz SSK? 1967 Mercury Cougar?

Who would want a 200hp '67 Mercury cougar? No, none of those beat the morgan in my book. Solid as hell engine, good craftsmanship, charming looks. And it's sooooooooooooooooooo damn british. How could you not love it?
