Normally I have pretty attainable taste in cars. Not usually interested in expensive supercars as shown in typical R&T or C/D reviews, etc. Normally.
But driving up I-95 yesterday afternoon, I happened to spend some time near a brand new Audi RS7 in battleship grey with black wheels. And damn, now I want one badly. I don't even normally like black wheels. But this thing had badass written all over it.
The guy driving it looked like a total cock, of course. Oh, well.

Saw a white one with black interior up close at a local dealership a week ago. They had a "sold" sticker on it, but that was just to keep the kids from wanting to jump into it. I got to sit inside and man, besides the RS treatment (which is sick), I'm floored at how functional and gorgeous audi interiors are. From the outside, the car just oozes sex appeal. I think the MSRP on it was close to 130K....
On the way back from fishing in Key West, I was in South Beach Miami for an afternoon. I think I saw no less than four Lambos, two Bentleys, an Audi R8, and a Rolls.

Like this, but without those ugly wheels. The car I saw had plain black wheels, which I normally don't like, but they looked great. I might even put a set of those orange OZs on mine...

I live in South FL and see a lot of expensive cars daily. Current "lust for" but probably never own big expensive car is the Bentley Continental GT V8 S.

Over 500 HP 191 MPH top speed, yes please! They are really nice up close and pics do not do them justice. I realized when reading this thread I must be getting old! I've started taking pics of high end luxury cars!!! Saw this Conti on the way to work Sat.

I lust over one of these.
It is totally affordable at $475,000.
Although the new Wraith looks incredible.
There was a Bentley coupe sitting at a local Ann Arbor autoparts store last night. It kinda stands out from the usual stuff in the parking lot.
Audis are great as long as they're still within the factory warrantee period.

I just built one at Audi's website: $118,000. If I can properly afford that, I'm not worried about a warranty.
I really like the A7 and RS7. There's something about it that I like.
A McLaren P1 was stuck in traffic, directly in front of me, about a month ago. I did not know they were even available yet. He pulled a u turn at the intersection and took off in the opposite direction. He got on it a little bit pulling away, the sound was amazing.
