One assumes, dear readers, that the last Alfa Romeo you saw was either piloted by Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate or (if you have ever seen one on the road) a fourth generation Spider.

This is a difficult question to answer given the vast number of automobiles worthy of consideration. Moreover, Messieurs Clarkson, Hammond, and May have already nominated an excellent candidate in the Lexus SC 430.

Your suggestions are welcomed.
