German-built cars maybe! 1963 was about the year when VW was finally let out of court and compensated Tatra for design plagiarism:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra_V570

And Ferdinand Porsche was Czech-born and trained and later influenced by Tatra's designer Lewinka's first aerodynamic car in the 1930s.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ta...4-01_pic10.JPG

Apart from that, yes German ... with Czech origins.
(Just being pedantic!)

Default Re: What 'non' Ford do you really really like?

too many to list, a couple listed below.
  • Porsche 911 is on the top of my list. Best all rounder by far and the benchmark for sports cars.
  • Mercedes Benz S Class for innovation, style and luxury
  • Mercedes Benz E Class wagon for prestige, unbeatable in e63 form.
  • BMW M5, what a real performance sedan is all about
  • Rolls Royce Phantom for sheer uber luxury in in your face looks
  • Jeep Wrangler so versatile, have taken them off road and they just work
  • Audi R8 a cheap way of getting into a Lambo
  • McLaren MP4-12c the way a supercar should be
  • Audi TTRS because of that turbo 5

There are others but these are what came to me straightaway.

Oh, and pretty much ANY/ALL models from Ferrari, THE BENCHMARK in SuperCars on the planet...END OF STORY!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrvhrbSCtO8

I think she had a "O" @ 3.47s

= F458I

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyDH_qX8jgI

= 599GTB!

ANY car that can do near 8000RPM [200MPH+] in top-gear gets my vote

"12 CYLINDERS OR WALK"

Even C/H dumped his porsche for one, even after he burnt his bridges with the Ferrari company and they banned him.

Here's a couple of mine:

1989 Nissan March Super Turbo - Turbo AND supercharged engine, pretty revolutionary for 1989



Oldschool MR2 AW11 - More supercharged goodness!!




And my favorite of ALL TIME!!!!

Mazda Familia GTR/GTX - 200hp turbo all wheel drive. weighing 1000kg.



Interesting this too, is that all these cars are around $5k-$10k
