Following on from Pistonheads getting a 370z can anyone else thing of a better car that the British public just don't seem to get? They've been out for nearly a year now, and I've seen an entire one on the road.

That title used to be held by the NSX, didn't it?

Very good call. Not sure how I forgot about that.

Could probably include the DC2 / DC5 in that too.

I think in some ways the Phaeton is in this category.
A paragon of engineering, but without the badge.
I'd have one in a flash.

The Lexus IS-F seems to be rather unloved.

I've only seen one that i can recall and that's only because the owner lives next door to my sister.

Agreed. With a possible mention for the Skoda Superb one level removed.

Could we add Mazda 6 MPS to the list? I think I've only seen one or two...

I've been surprised to see three new Superbs in the last two weeks, so I think they're surprisingly ubiquitous.

Strange, but I don't think I've seen a 370Z... Millions of the new Z4 though.

I haven't seen an Evora yet despite it being highly praised in the motoring press. Seen quite a few Nissan GTRs though at the same price tag which were similarly praised

Hardly any ST220's were sold were they? I've briefly looked at buying one and they look fantastic.

I was just thinking that today. One of the managers at our place has one. Great choice but you barely see any!
