You know how it works.  Every single poster in this thread could pick 5 cars they think represent the pinnacle of auto design... And there'll be at least two others who'll find em all ugly as sin.  I reckon the Wiesmann is a damn good driving machine, and the looks might appeal to Mondego.. If he can handle the expense.

If it were up to me, I'd get one of the simple headlight Cerberas... The Alfa 8C is another great roadster, but it handles like crap... Even with the odd front end and tail lights, the curves everywhere else and esp. at the back of the Wiesmann are just dead sexy.  The excellent performance makes the bodywork ok, I think.

$140K and it's almost the same as a BMW Z4 which is half the price and not quite as ugly...

No use arguing taste..  I think the Z4 is easily uglier and nowhere near as exclusive, which is what those clients of Mondego would dig.  It also looks like the Wiesmann is a better driver's car.  Less luxury.. Just you, the chassis, and the road.

I'm not a BMW fanboi, and the Z4 roadster, well, meh. But the Z4-based M Coupe....... SEXXAY.

Alfa Romeo 8c and 8c Spider, simply two of the most beautiful cars to appear in many years...

It just boggles the mind that Alfa Romeo bungled the 8C's handling; if the top gear review is accurate..

and better styling.

corvette=racecar/supercar looks
porsche= pregnant rollerskate.

Cap you own a Dodge truck . I suppose you think that styling is cutting edge as well.
