 |  Recent cars with the greatest character. -

I was thinking about this after discussing the Bugatti Veyron. To me, the Veyron, although an undoubtedly awesome vehicle, has not got a lot of true character. Here are the cars produced in the past decade that I would nominate as having the most character. Porsche 911 993 Turbo  Ferrari F40  Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen  Bentley Continental T  Bentley Continental SC  Bentley Azure  Bentley Arnage  BMW Z8  Pagani Zonda F  Alfa Romeo Spider  What do you guys think?, what else should be added - pre FC Fiat Multipla? - as much as some people hated it, it did have character. What about the Dodge Viper, or the Aston Martin Vanquish and DB9? |

I absolutely agree with your choice of the F40, 993 Turbo and the Zonda - all have loads of character. I think the Holden Monaro has a lot of character:  |

I think a lot of British and Italian cars make the list by default, but here a few that I think have some real character: Aston-Martin DB9 Volante  Ferrari F430 Spider    Land Rover Range Rover Sport  I love the stubby look, here in profile -  Chrysler 300C SRT-8   More to come...gotta find the right pics.

A few more cars with character: Saab 9-3 Convertible - The non-conformist choice. I've always liked this car.   Audi A8L W12    Ok I cheated with this shot, its the S8 -  More in a bit. M |

Oh my how could I forget one of the most timeless cars on the road today! Now this is "character" for real -     Old-world British character in spades. Hard to believe this car has been with us since 1997 and still looks so good. M |
