Just to be unique.... BMW M1

I saw a perfect condition M1 in an auto show in Vegas over the weekend. It looked good.

There's a perfect well maintained white M1 in my local BMW showroom.

Very nice indeed.

I think this is perhaps one of the sexiest sedans on the planet. I could drive this everyday for many years.

technically it's not a sedan, but a coupe. Check the specs on mbusa.com

You know what, that coupe is very hot. But after clicking your link and seeing the interior...that is, for lack of a better word, FUGLY. In all honesty, I've seen better...much better.

Honda FCX


Looks cool and has a hydrogen fuel cell powerplant. Can you say no to $3-4 dollars a gallon gasoline?


"At the 2006 Detroit Auto Show, Honda announced that it would make a production version of the concept FCX it had shown at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. On 25 September 2006 this new version was unveiled. The updated 4-door sedan version looks much more sleek and futuristic, and has a high focus on comfort and interior space. It has a much more spacious interior with a great mixture of plastic, wood and leather.[6] Production is expected to begin in 2008 in Japan and the U.S. The production version will closely resemble the concept, although it is unknown if some of the concept's more radical features, such as a tilting instrument panel, will be included."

"According to Honda, the new fuel-cell stack is 20% smaller, 30% lighter and has a higher output of 100kW (129hp). The new powerplant is 180kg lighter, 40% smaller in volume and has a high energy efficiency of 60%, compared with 20% for most internal combustion engines, 30% for most hybrid powerplants and 50% for the previous generation FCX."

"The new powerplant utilizes three electric motors: one front-drive motor with an output of up to 80kW, this motor's shaft is coaxial with the gearbox for a more compact front-end, and two smaller motors with a maximum output of 25kW driving one of the rear wheels each. This layout makes the FCX technically an all-wheel-drive vehicle. The updated FCX has a maximum speed of 160km/h (99.41mp/h)."

"The new FCX utilizes several new interesting features. The V Flow new fuel cell stack can operate at temperatures as low as -30 °C. This is achieved by allowing the gas to flow vertically in the fuel cell stack. The tanks can store up to 5kg (171 litres) of hydrogen at a pressure of 350 atmospheres, thanks to the new hydrogen absorption materials used. This allows a longer range of up to 350 miles (570km)."

I think I'd take a nice motorcycle, they're fun and some get about 80mpg. I don't even know what brand I'd want, I'm too poor at the moment to even think about replacing something that still works (my 49.5cc scooter :eek:)

Hmmm... probably something really simple to work on. '74 Mercedes 240D perhaps. My dad had one, it was amazingly tough. 65hp diesel, 4-speed manual. Tow house trailers down the Alaska Highway? Plow through ~1ft of wet snow with the gnarliest tire chains evar, 60 miles round-trip to work in Seward? Happily consume furnace oil from a 55-gallon drum when avalanches blocked the highways? Tow 1000 pounds of coal, bounce off of stray Black Angus steers in North Dakota at night? No problem. Nice big trunk, too.

I miss that car.
