If there was ever a car that commanded attention and announced that “I am here!”, it would be the Lamborghini Aventador. No, it is not the best Super Car out there, they are fairly large and heavy, but they are a show stopper and they have 700hp. We asked a group of teenagers once “Lamborghini or Ferrari?” and 90% of …

DF has always been more of a fan of the ‘pure’ driving experience than just raw power and as such, a car such as a Cayman R would bring more excitement than something such as a 911 Turbo with all the luxury options. It was a nice discovery to find this green Cayman R sitting on the show room floor. …

Here is one of those high optioned 911 Turbo’s mentioned in the Cayman article, so why is it shown here? Well, because you just do not see many of the 997 generation turbo’s with the Aerokit option like this one has. It was a used 2010 car on the floor with just a couple of K on the odometer and …

Well look what they had over in the service area… a beautiful Carrera GT! You do not see many of these around so it was a nice find on our search for cool cars in Canada. A high revving V10 in a beautifully low slung body with minimal weight, makes for a potent combo of driving pleasure. This one had …

On the floor of the Audi dealer was a stunning grey R8 with black blades. This was a manual six speed version with the V8 and not the V10. They had the spoiler ‘up’ which many people think helps balance the look of the R8 toward the rear. Audi really did an excellent job with the R8 and it perhaps …

One of the distinct differences noticed about this Audi dealer vs. others in the USA, is that they displayed many of their cars with Audi accessories attached. Such as an S4 with the bicycle rack mounted on top. Many of the vehicles on the showroom floor had Audi accessories attached and displayed.

Like the Porsche dealer, the Audi dealer was completely indoors, including their used car selection which was in the ‘basement’ of the dealership, this made it very comfortable to browse and look at their available used vehicles for sale. It was also nice to have the model year of the used vehicle displayed prominently in the license plate frame.

As a whole the Audi dealer was very tidy and clean and well displayed. Certainly worth visiting.

The Ferrari/Maserati dealer was the third one on the list to be explored and their web page indicated no less than 15 vehicles in stock and that their showroom opened at 10:00am. It was 10:15am, only two vehicles were on the showroom floor, a Ferrari FF and a Maserati Quattroporte, and the doors to the dealer were locked. The one …

A short distance from the Ferrari dealer a Ferrari 458 Italia was spotted and a photo taken of its tail end as it turned in the opposite direction. It turned down the same street as an earlier spotted Audi R8 and Porsche Panamera, so some investigation was required to see just what was down that street.

The little side street turned out to be a very posh little street with very high end clothing boutique shops… and some cars! This dark blue Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 convertible was discovered just off that little street in the entrance to a parking garage.

The R8 that was spotted earlier in the day on the way to the Ferrari dealer was discovered parked in front of one of the little shops. This R8 had the V10 instead of the V8 version that was at the Audi dealer.

Around the corner from the posh little side street and another green Cayman R was captured on film sprinting away from an intersection. Was it mentioned that all Cayman R’s are green?

The final car caught on film by DF in Toronto was an off-white Bentley Continental Supersports with blacked out wheels. Here was a unique car that one does not see every day. It was parked near a fire station which made one wonder just how much firemen got paid in Canada?

One final parting picture is of the police vehicle discovered at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport. It was pretty cool as far as police vehicles go.

The final car we saw and took pictures of was a Nissan GTR that was parked out front. The car did belong to the dealer and we all know the capabilities of ‘Godzilla’, but frankly, they just do not command the attention of even lesser performing cars. They are technical phenomena which allows the 4000 lb car to do amazing …

Moving around to the front of the Dealership there were a few other exotics to be found as well. This previous generation BMW M6 was a nice looking car and with its 500hp V10 they make for a serious GT and some consider them a competitor to the Maserati Grand Turismo, but to us the Maser has a lot more …

Of course, we are not just Ferrari fans and the simplistic and lightweight approach of Lotus, as taught by its founder Colin Chapman, does have appeal to us. This white Lotus Elise was a fine looking car and there was another blue one in the used lot area as well. We prefer the Exige over the Elise, but there were …

After walking through the garage we made our way back outside where there was a nice 308 GTS QV (Quattro Valve) being serviced and a few other non Ferrari cars which were all nicer sports and exotic cars. The 308 was a maroon color which is not a common Ferrari color but did look very nice. It is always exciting …

Well, after drooling a bit too long over the 288 GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo, we figured we better move along and walked through the garage area where there was a 1980’s Testarossa and a 456 GTA (Auto trans) next to it. These were unique and I actually included a picture of them instead of the California and 458 Spyders …
