The Porsche GT3 sure is a badass car, and with the advent of (I think it's called) PSM it's become even better to drive in the wet as well. I'll still stick to my 996GT3 though, the new lights still haven't grown on me. Also, the lack of Porsches version of DSG is sad. I've heard thr 997 Turbo may be a better buy thanks to the easy ability to simply chip the turbo (haha, sport button already does that). Does anyone know if the GT3 Spec Cups have already started? I remember watching a video of the 996 GT3 Spec Cups and they were incredible.

The Maserati QP is a subpar sedan. At least when it initially came out upto now. You're looking at paying 110k$ or so (new) for a car that eats clutches thanks to it's F1 transmission every 15k miles or so. The tranny is not smooth for cruising, all in all a poor execution a good idea. 2007 is supposed to bring a more conventional transmission to the table. Easily a better car would be the E39M5, E60M5, W211E55, W211E63 or W219CLS55 and W219CLS63. All of those cars have more power, and are a lot more smoother to drive... however in defense of the Maser, none of them have the overall panache that comes with having a Ferrari (or a close relative).

Morgan Aero 8, I cannot comment, never had this car.

Audi R, same as above.

AM DB9 Volante. I just have one thing to emphasis. The exhaust note on this car is powerful. That is an understatement. If a Ferrari has a lions roar, this car has a wolfs bark.

Bentley GTC, never had it, but if it's anything like the Continental (which.. um it is) you feel slight overtones of VW everywhere, especially with a few buttons. That's not a bad thing, but it's disappointing considering the cost you paid for the car. Same problem happens to the Flying Spur as well.

Ferrari 599, supposedly faster than the Enzo on certain tracks. Who cares though, it's still hell on wheels. I'd still prefer the 575M SuperAmerica though (strictly for looks though). The 599 will be the next shark in an Armani suit.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. My second favorite car in the world next to the Murcie R-GT. I'm too biased to comment on this god-like bat.

The Rolls Royce and Bentley Azure I don't like so I won't waste my time talking about them.

I think this is a silly article....he has left out some of the better supercars and brought in stuff like the Bentleys, the Maserati Quattroporte, the Rolls and the Morgan .... silly fellow

Where are the Paganis ?? The Koenigseggs ?? This guy has no idea abt the true supercars does he ??

And even though I am not a big fan of it, the McLaren SLR is a better car than some of these

These sort of articles shouldnt be attempted by businessweek ....it is better left to the real experts of Top Gear and Autocar...... these guys hsould stick to writing business stories...

That is there.... I guess what they meant was that these are the best cars for this year....which is so stupid IMO

BTW, the new DB 9 is not released...... the new DB9 is supposed to be released this year iirc...

the DB9 volante was released in 2005 iirc..and as sunny said, TG showed it in season6..its the convertible version of the DB9 coupe. Its heavier, less rigidity and softer suspension and costs a helluva lot more than the coupe.
What i would like to see is the AM rapide become a reality from the concept.
