One of my favorite driving experiences lately was a BMW 328i, with the sports package.
That thing was just flat-out fun. Felt like you were getting into the cockpit of a 109, but yet even at 6'1" +, it felt like I was climbing into a comfortable glove.
I was taking flat, sharp corners at 75, and if I'd had a glass of water on the dash, I don't think the water would have sloshed anywhere. And I can't drive my way out of a paper bag.
Actually for all you Euro folks, check out the latest 'vette. Apparently the handling on these things is completely different than the 'vettes of yore. AutoWeek really had some flattering things to say about it's cornering ability, and the performance numbers are amazing.
Someday...someday I'll have the car I want...maybe...
