Eclipse - TVR

A very small UK maker who will beat you off the lights with no problems whatsoever!

If you want to see what a TVR looks like, watch Swordfish - there's no other reason to!

Swordfish-- the movie? I can think of two other reasons to watch that movie other than the cars.

Action and John Travolta.

edit-- Eclipse- McLaren f1 (BMW 12 cyl.) it has german valves right?

Wild Thing-- Dodge Viper

Kanstul 1500 = Porsche Boxster It's just my take. Both are sleek, responsive and answer the motivator with panache and taste; not to mention they are pleasing to the ear and the eye.

Wedgewood - Noble

Not many people have heard of them, even fewer own them, everybody who owns one looks happy, anybody who owns one knows why they do!

Selmer-Paris Concept TT = Audi A8

Big, roomy and very, very luxurious

I'd say Schilke like a slightly newer Mercedes - Classic, simple and streamlined, but with an attention to detail.

I'll also say Olds Recording like an older Mercedes - Beautiful, heavy and built like a tank like an older Mercedes, but also classic with its beautiful use of different metals. Kinda' like the older Mercedes' with the large chrome bumpers.
