That may be true for some on that list...but there are a handful of car enthusiasts on that list as well. Jay Leno, Jay Kay, Richard Hammond and James May, George Clooney, and Patrick Dempsey...all car enthusiasts.

That's quite a list! I'm still not fond of the design, I prefer to see a car beautiful at first glance. The newer cars today seem to be getting better looking (e.g. Jaguar XF, 5-series, X6, GT California(still hideous from the back though), M3). The previous Lotuses were raw and cool when I first saw them. But I cannot wait until the first reviews will come out

Typo lol? If I try really hard and it's the only decent car I see all day, I can convince myself a 5 series with the M bodykit looks okay. Well until an Audi A6 or Jag XF comes along anyway.
