No, I watched it. It was very interesting. You can thank the folks at VAG for the AWD system. I bet it is still rediculously hard to drive in the snow, even with AWD and snows.

I def. kill myself in it.

Not so much in the ground clearance department though.

Ferrari.

Any company that doesn't have a car in F1 is highly suspect.

Actually, Audi (VAG) has a very good reason for not backing an F1 team. They say the technology has become too detached from everyday passenger car technology and the rift is too great to be practical for carrying race technology to the street; which is why they choose to compete in and dominate the 24 Hours of Lemans and the American Lemans series.

I think the Lambos in general have more outrageous styling. I was a huge fan of the Countach and still am, even though it is the worst car in the world to actualy drive and own. I doubt I would take any of them out in the snow though. I don't even drag my Vette out in the rain.

This may be heresy, but I'm not a huge fan of the Enzo's styling. I realize it is supposed to conjur images of Schumacher's chariot, and look fast sitting still, but it just doesn't do it for me.

Making a closed wheel sports car resemble an open wheel Formula car was the wrong route to take, IMHO. For Ferrari's, there is no better styling than the Maranello:

I don't know, that just does it for me.
