i have to agree with clarkson. it's a very quick beetle. i test drove a cayman S this weekend and that's even uglier. 80k and ugly. ugh!! this week i am lining up a test of the 135 and the tt 3.2L coupe.
Blasphemy! Porsche's designs are just stunning... the 911 Turbo is a masterpiece.

They're not overly exotic or horny, but they are elegant and timeless, like a nice watch.

Am I the only one disappointed with this episode? I was really looking forward to the CTS-V vs. ZR1 vs. Challenger episode, but they really didn't talk much about the cars, or even really drive them. And while watching them try and get fast times was fun, knowing the ZR1 can do 170 mph on salt means absolutely nothing in the real world...
I want to see these cars on the track, or on a beach somewhere, not on a straight road in America...
I do really dig that Fiat 500 Abarth, though. Fantastic little car!
