IMHO, there are very few sports cars for sale in the U.S. The S2000 and the miata are two such automobiles. Most "sporty" cars are too heavy, luxurious, unbalanced, etc to be considered sports cars- no matter how fast they are.

I am not flaming these "sporty" cars- they can make fantastic daily drivers, I am just saying that when a sunny, 70 degree sunday afternoon comes around, I would rather get passed in my S2000 than be in an slk55.


COME ON SPRING!

Ugly and tacky, but probably very powerful.

Any true sports car.. no matter how good the computer is, should at least have something that resembles a temp guage..

I like it, except for the "Celica Action Package" bulge vents on the sides just behind the front intakes....I'd fire the guy that styled those in...they disrupt everything. But good-looking overall.

I think the reason M-B doesn't use manuals is because they are to Bentley/Rolls what BMW is to M-B: BMW is the more "boisterous" company, ergo that's the role M-Bs play when compared to the highest echelon of car. M-Bs obviously handle better, and are faster than Bentley and Rolls barges.

It does- see the digital temp reading in the middle- 20.5 degrees
