an LC is my dream car along with a moonstone RS500
many people will go "my dream cars a supercar, like a konisgeeggggggggeeg, lambo, ferrari etc"
its a carlton that looks so hard it could have been carved from stone, Lotus were involved and it does 176mph in standard form
what could be more super

BTW marv in no way is this a go at you or anything like that
but saying its just a carlton is abit silly (ok there not great cars) but its liek me saying your BMW is just a basic 316 cab, but with better interiour, brakes, suspension, wheels, engine, features etc etc etc
i would say 99% or decent non supercars are based on something alot less exciting and boring

Yes they are James.
Have you ever driven one?
If not, reserve judgment until you have. The same goes for Senators.

try, but my cabby isnt my dream car, its just something that was reasonably priced and i love cruising about in it. i guess you can same the same for an m3 cabby, but even a standard one looks cool (i guess only time will tell if it still looks as good in 15 years from now)
i know its a cult car, and theres nothing wrong with being a part of it
heck, i want a vw caddy next, always have done since i was a kid, not exactly easy on the eye or fast or unique but there is just something about them...
