The new Bugatti is an etremely capable car, but car of Top Gears(what happened to the show? Is it off the air?) car of the year? I mean it is a very powerful car to say the least, 1001 to 1100 bhp, wow. The downside is the gas mileage so far negative miles to the gallon! I guess the upside to that is if you have $1.8+ million to buy this car, who cares about gas mileage. My opinion I think the Ferrari f430 or New Corvette z06 should be in close contentio for this car of the year honor. The F430 simply because you get Enzo performance at about $375,000 less and on the other hand the new z06, come on Ferrari performance for about $65-85K. The [z06]performance can't be beat for the price! I still like the 1994 Bugatti 110s, that car is still bad by todays standards of performance. If I had the money I would buy 2 of each supercar made(one to drive and one to invest. Heck I'd even take a ford rs200 cosworth, 750 hp awd, 0-60 in 1.8 seconds(Guiness world record holder).I guess to sum it up, the Bugatti Veyron is excellent; way ahead of it's time, but it's not a Ferrari!
