Made in Italy
Ladies and Gents your pick!!!
Here are some of our cars we are most proud of
Personally, I like all of them
However, Maseratis carry a price tag that is too much for the quality in body parts assemble...hopefully Maserati will fix this in due time, certainly the shift has improved by a lot. Lamborghinis I just drool over them but they aren't very practical...yeah if I would use it just as a week-end car then yes but for everyday use im not sure that would work for me
SO...i'm going with the F430, still carries the wonderful horse logo but it's easy on the eyes
And of course the Fiat 500
[I haven't put classics such as Alfa Romeo or other Fiats because they might not be known as well as the master houses
also I didn't post pics because I don't know how to ]

I voted for the F430 because I LOVE the F430 Challenge.
I still think the F-50 is one of the most beautiful looking Ferraris to date. And you can't forget the Enzo. That thing is a beast.
Die hard Ferrari fan over here, justing waiting for the day I can finally own one.
Oh, and the F430 is the only V8 Ferrari I've really liked. They have a lot of cars out tehre and it's nice to know that even they're "base" model still kicks a$$.

I'd rather want to get an Alfa Romeo 147 GTA because there are probably more Ferraris in the US and its quite a sporty hothatch but the insurance costs won't bankrupt me.
Either that or hook me up with an AWD V6 Alfa Romero Brera or a Bugatti EB110 GT if insurance costs weren't an issue. Even better would be the Dauer EB110 SS with an entire carbon fiber body and RWD rather than AWD, if a part German exotic counts.

First of all, you are missing the greatest car of all time... Ferrari F40
Second, Italians make regular production cars... FIAT & Alfa Romeo were in the US untill I think mid 80's & mid 90's respectively. Unfortunately Americans did not fall in love with their spotty reliability.
Third, Bugatti is a French company. However VAG is the parent company and bankrolled the whole Veyron project.
Class dismissed.
