Just for fun...sharpest car on the market today?

What do you think is the sharpest car and/or truck on the market today?

My vote would have to be....it is a toss up between the Saturn Sky, the Cadillac CTS or the Buick Enclave.

I would have to go with the Cadillac CTS if you were giving me one of the three.

As for the tuck category, I would have to vote the Chevy trucks...I love the Suburban. I couldn't afford the gas for one though.

Opinions?

Again, just for fun...no wrong answers.

Clove

It's a toss up between the Buick Enclave and the Cadillac CTS. Can't afford either one of 'em, but I can drool every day on my way to work. I work right next door to a gm dealership.

Pontiac Soltice or Saturn Sky. Saw a Soltice at the St. Ignace car show that GM preformance had installed a Corvette c3 aluminum V8 in. Sweet.

The Ariel Atom is pretty awesome because...
It is road legal
Can do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds
Has 300 HP
Weighs only 1000 pounds
Has a higher power to weight ratio than a Ferrari Enzo
Can BURN a Dodge Viper
Has an unreal handling
Gets 32 MPG
And costs less than a Ford GT. http://www.arielatom.com/
As for trucks, I don't like any of the new ones, sorry.

The new Vette is sharp, especially as a convertable.

I am not a fan of what I call "blobby" cars. I like cars with crisp, clean lines that you can tell what kind of car it is a mile away.

The last car I liked was the 1999 Cadillac Sedan Deville (or 1999 Cadillac Eldorado). I wish that the car makers would get away from these awful looking cars and go back to something a little sleeker and more defined.

I forgot about the Mustangs!!! Very nice cars!!! My wife and test drove one when they came out. I wish they were more practical for us. I would probably have one sitting in my drive right now.
Clove
