It must be cute. Small. The color should be perhaps be red. With a cream interior? Leather?
So . . .
http://www.jkoons3.com/graphics/Jetta-2.jpg
or
http://aerorentacar.com/images/bug.jpg
?
Other options, Mini Cooper, Toyota Corrolla (not the same cuteness factor, but drove as a rental car and liked it).
One problem is that I'm not that fond of the "new" Jetta.

I thought the Beetle would be a lot chepaer than the Jetta, bc: tiny, 2 doors, twee, but the standard package is just like 1,500 cheaper than a Jetta. Why?

I'm thinking about another A4 in black this time next year, maybe two or three years old as the new one's (with the full "Auto Union" style grill) aren't really that special to me. I'm also considering the Prius and the Toureg (but only because the interior is so beautiful).
While the new Jetta's styling is a mis-step, the upcomig Passat is beautiful!

My ideal ride is probably an Audi A8L or S8, or an early seventies Charger or Challenger. I agree with Toraneko upthread about F1, but I also love Le Mans.

Try to park in the shade. Use windshield sunshade. Leave sunroof popped up. Sometimes leave windows cracked. Sear ass, backs of legs and hands on hot leather seats.

I also like the car in the beginning of Ma Nuit Chez Maud.
If I were to get a car now, I would get a hybrid, but I don't know of any models that look nice.

Oooh, concept. The Furai sounds sensational at full cry. As we exited Turn 11 onto the main straight with the sound of the rotary exhaust reverberating off the concrete pit wall, the effect was not of a lone car, but instead an entire field of endurance racers. With the Furai, Mazda is suggesting that this aural deception will soon become a reality as it moves to join Acura and Porsche in an assault on the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
haitch, since the Mach 6 has never touched the asphalt of a real course, I graciously concede.

This is my car, only with four doors:
http://www.edmunds.com/media/reviews/top10/06.least.expensive.cars.to.insure/06.vw.gti.500.jpg
Pros: - AN AWESOME CAR TO DRIVE - quick, fast, awesome handling - Love the way it looks - Surprisingly spacious - Pretty good gas mileage for a sport tuned car (Over 30 on the highway)
Cons: - Low-profile rims seem to not get along with pot holes AT ALL. I've had to replace two tires already in order to avoid potential blow-outs. - Premium fuel be expensive, yo. This is somewhat mitigated by the good gas mileage.
I would buy it again, but might consider the not-so-low pro rims.

So anyway the Concours d'Elegance is just around the corner again and once again I'm going home to Carmel for a few days here -- not really for the cars but since other family always visit around that time it's good for a reunion.
And like last year, I'll take photos galore -- here's that 2007 set again. A couple of my favorites:

Have you seen 'Electroma'? The 400 is aka the Daft Punk car now.

Electroma is actually where I first saw and liked the car, so yeah. Unoriginal of me I guess.

Totally original! Have been trying to find this one picture I recall of a red one, shot from the rear, in front of a modern house.
― Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 1 February 2011 00:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Maybe it's just the adjustment, but I had to take a rental for a few days and it's a Honda Fit and so far I fucking HATE driving this thing. Weird ass hatchback rear view, strange shape, handles weird, cannot get my spatial bearings whatsoever, driver seat sits uncomfortably. I feel like this thing was just invented to convince people to pay for the more expensive rental next time. I want my bougie accord back.
