| I'd say that car combines more British sports car than American muscle, at least in looks. It has the exaggerated long hood like an early Aston Martin DB6 and the clean roofline of a late model TVR Tuscan. Beautiful car, no question. |

| I had strong emotions for this Volvo. When i had the chance to sit in it, it felt a bit clausthrophobic ;-) but i still love the design. What about a VW Karmann Ghia?

| When I was a kid, I remember Roger Moore driving a 1960-something P1800 in "The Saint" TV show. |
