For the past few weeks I've been looking round for a new car. I've got an 1.8 litre, 5-door hatchback L-reg Cavalier Mark III (don't laugh!), and tbh it runs pretty well but it's just fucking doing my head in now. I want a smaller but faster engine and something with style.
I've haven't decided on what I want yet (fuck, I wish I had more money) but I've come across some stunning cars. Here are two of my favourites (not that I'll realistically be able to afford the first one)...
Vauxhall Corsa VXR
Vauxhall Astra

It's a bit bigger than I would like, but it's 100% electric, and man, it's got horsepower!

Got a red 3-door Alfa Romeo 147 1.9JTDm (diesel) with originally 120bhp, but 'upgraded' a bit to about 150, nothing else changed, like this-one:
Only have black mirrors & 16" rimms instead of 17 (now it's "only" 400eur when having to replace the tires)
What I'd like to have? Unrealisticly:
 - Aston Martin DB9
 - Porsche Carrera GT
 - Alfa Romeo 8C competitione
 - Maserati GT
One of these would do 
Realisticly though I'll stick with the upcoming Alfa MiTo 1.4 turbo with 155bhp, or when I can afford it next year the GTA version with a 1.8 turbo 230bhp, converted to LPG:
Test-drove this-one on the Alfa Romeo test-track in Balocco/Italy and I absolutely love the way it drives. Weighs 1145kg, which isn't much, add an economical but powerfull engine to that and you have a fun toy ^^
@ the lotus stuff, they only designed the technical aspects like chassis, engines, transmission, ... - not the aestetical stuff. Lotus also did the same for the Tesla Roadster, which is more my kinda car:

Only 16" rimms on your Alfa Romeo eh? Life's a bitch isn't it.

Yeah, that's pretty sweet too, and really energy efficient, but a bit pricey ($100k as opposed to $60k for the Zap-X -> ok, still pretty pricey)
