Frickin love these and I know they are a marmite design but it's rare that the production car looks so close to the concept...

Production:
Another Chrysler, never made it to market but came damned close (based on the Viper platform), the Firepower looks like a beefed up Aston Martin:

Concept production:
As for functional design, McLaren's new 12C is pure function; not one inch was designed for 'effect' unlike Ferrari's or Lambo's who design for effect first then function... another marmite design they are finding but I love it and by all accounts it's going shit all over the equivalent Ferrari (458). British engineering VS Italian bluster...
As for super-saloons, I like the CTS-V because you see M3's and M5's every day here in U.K; they're nothing special...
I'm one of the rare Brits who likes American cars and love that the Cadillac CTS-V walked all over the BMW M5, supposedley a benchmark for super-saloons... also beat the M3 and M6. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C…
Love the NSX concept from a few years ago:

I do love how the square exhaust is now becoming standard...
