Sounds like the original price they did have... they've been jacking that up ever since they announced it. I remember reading that the first few driven had ALOT of quality/mechanical issues.

Me, I'm trying hard to see if I can get this in...

loki,

That is my #1 object of desire as well. Please let me know if you are successful. Truly the ultimate in stealth! Hope you can pull it off.

I'm looking forward to the new Lotus M250. Gorgeous car, and it will be one of the best handling cars available in North America. Should be around $50-$60k.

It may have an Alfa V6, too. How cool is that?

loki;my partner in Italy is selling his,red, black interior.
Power is 525hp instead of 375hp,treated by DIGITEC in Germany. 0-62 mph in 4.2 secs.
LHD,16.000 KM,without the tax(for export)he will take
$58.000.
If you have the way to bring it in this is very good deal;I know he spent an extra $20.000 on the car.

Loki,

That Eurospec Audi is nasty.

That Audi is only for frozen climates. If you brought that in you would have to move to Boston.

Regarding the Shelby:

There is a local dealer who sells the Shelby. They have 2 on the floor, one with blue stripe, one with red stripe.

It looks great but I doubt the daily ownership experience would be very good (quality, dealer network, parts availability, financial position of the company).

Boston? Those tires wouldn't survive 2 miles worth of Boston Pot Holes this time of year!

Honda S2K,

Shhh, the pot holes are supposed to be a secret.

Yes, it is winter tire time here.

I wait till May to put my 205/45 17 inch P Zeros back on my Volvo.

Are you sure about that baseball prediction? We seem to be short on healthy talent for Fenway.
