Also a rare sight, a black VW Phaeton. Great looking car, too bad its gone.
Also a Maserati Spyder and a bunch of sl55s. This morning I saw a silver F430 spyder on the upper west side which was sort of odd.
Saturday night a Blue Vanquish was parked outside the starbucks in Astor Place... sweeeeet and rare.
Ferrari 308 black out for a Sunday Drive as well.
My new favorite the Toyota FJ in Black on saturday night as well. Screw the ergonomics and practicality, it looks so damn fun!
Re: the RR discussion, the sport is getting very common in NYC (the big RR was already a uniform for the fashion set they comprise at least 50% of all garages south of houston), not the supercharged ones though. It is a very good looking truck, although I don't think people who live in NYC should be buying Sporty SUVs.
I have a customer who has a 2005 Arnage T with less then 5,000 miles that I am trying to help him unload.
MSRP of the car was over $250,000 with gas guzzler tax and I think he paid $235,000 something plus tax for a left over 2005 model.
The best we could do on the wholesale side was $165,000. We might take it to auction under consignment and have one of our wholesale buyers represent the car see how much we can get.

Only 'notable' new cars I've seen recently are (my first) '07 Camry (pretty basic, in semi-pale blue) and a Civic Si coupe, in a kind of metallic cinammon-gum burgandy, very nice. I'd just as soon have an EX sedan with a stick, two-door cars are a pain.
And on the opposite end of the price range, I saw a sweet looking orange Lamborghini Gallardo at a fast food plaza. It was super clean, in mint condition, and it even had orange brake calipers to match. I should have stopped for a picture.

Yesterday, outside a nice local steak house (with valet parking, rare for the 'burbs around here), an AM convert. Not sure which model, but it had split taillights. Nasty khaki green with tan top color combo.
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
I spotted a silver Mitsubishi Outlander yesterday.
On the highway today a white Audi Q7 passed me. I didnt even know that they were out! has anyone else seen a Q7?
And ten minutes later I saw a white Bentley Flying Spur. Looks great.
Lemko, I see a lot of Mitsubishi Outlanders everyday. Mitsubishi has very, very strong presence in Kuwait, mainly because their cars are used in fleet sales.
Toyota yes they could put anything with their name on it and it well sell like Hotcakes. Honda uhh no. The current Accord and last generation 01-05 Civic were criticzed by the Honda faithful for their conservative styling. Remember mid to late 90's Acura struggled too after they axed the Legend. It wasn't until the release of the 99 TL and 01 MDX that the Acura brand got back on track.
The problem is with Toyota is they have no style of their own. Now their take styling cues off of Mazda cars and in the late 90's they were taking styling cues off of Mercedes for their Lexus brand. I respect Toyota and what they have done but styling is not a strength of theirs.

Saw a Maserati Quatrope(SP?) in dark blue with a deep tan interior. If I had a little over a 100,000 to spend on a car and needed a four door sedan then that is the car for me.
Saw two S550 one in white the other in black. The S550 looks much better in black then white.
OK, the last one isn't my idea of super, but it has the acronym SS.

I also saw a new green-grey Jaguar XK coupe, parked in someone's house. I had no idea they were out. The back looks pretty nice, the front looks like a fish, IMO.
I also saw a Q7 BTW, it just looks heavy and way too late to the party. I have no interest whatsoever, which is unusual b/c I love audis.
I saw a Flying spur yesterday, Maybach 62, 360, and about 10 S550s, they are very common already in the city
But, even better... A new BMW M5.... Yowza!!

Dodge will be releasing the Caliber in a month or so, and a little while after the Nitro. I think then we'll get the new Avenger, but apparently the bosses don't want to bring the Charger over here because there's too much of an overlap between it and the 300.
Shame, 'cause they look hot and if they brought over a base V6 & V8 they could steal some Commodore/Falcon sales, and an R/T could steal a few Falcon XR/Commodore SS sales. The journos are already pitching the 300 SRT as a FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles) and HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) killer.
I mean, they're now as common as...as... as flies on a fresh pile of horse dung, not to impugn GM or anything!
Besides, I think the Lucerne pretty much hits the mark; too bad GM can't make more mainstream cars like this.
And you can get back at me when my ride, the Camry, gets spotted for upteenth time come August or so!
Okay, that's today's ridiculous analogy
Several new Camrys too, these are now so common here I won't mention them.
Not much else...a red Fit, and some kind of special souped up new stule Mustang, maybe a Saleen or Roush or something.
I like the rear view, but I still say the front looks like the old Taurus. Too "large mouth bass" for me.

Also saw a brown Ford Explorer, the refreshed one. Looks pretty good.
