Top 10 Non-German Cars!

[Merc1]

This is your wish list for 10 cars, but they can't be German. They can be German made, but not of German branding. My list:

1. Aston-Martin DBS - The world's most beautiful production automobile.




2. Ferrari 599GTB - Ferrari's best car, period.




3. Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder - Stunning.




7. Ferrari F430 Spider - Still stunning.




8. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster - Still probably the most outrageous way to travel on land.

9. Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT - The anti-German sedan if there ever was one.

10. Bentley Arnage - The old-worlde aristocrat.


Honarable Mentions: Lexus LS460L, Lexus IS-F, Nissan GT-R, Ford Mustang GT500KR, Jaguar XJR, Jaguar XF, Maserati GranTurismo, Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo, Bentley Brooklands, and the Range Rover Sport Supercharged. Some of these I just need to see in person, like the Brooklands.
