I always thought I'd like the Smart Car...but I really don't. It's cute...but neither fun to drive nor particularly practical (even by my admittedly lax standards)...

M Shoe
S2000 (maybe...I'm STILL iffy on this)
Older Porsche 911
FJ Cruiser
510
Elise/Exige
E39 M5
Jeep Wrangler TJ (or the Unlimited version of that body)
Honda Fit (either generation)
Caterham (would have to be a fire-sale price to make the list)
Cayman
Oscar Mayer Mobile
Classic Mini (still pondering)
BWM 2002 (would have to be a pretty solid example...but it's on the list cuz I have had a long-running love affair with them)

I THINK this is pretty much the list...still sorting it out...adding and subtracting as I go...

I was going to throw out the upcoming FT86, but EVAN beat me to the punch.
