They make them, but i've never seen one
 
Saw a Cadillac XLR-V yesterday.
 
A friend's father owns a regular XLR. I sat in it. Wasn't too impressed by the interior considering its price. I also don't like sandwich engines.

Are you talking about the new one, or the old one? The old one, yes, I've seen a few here; the new one, sorry they're not available in Canada so I don't think I will ever see one here on the streets.
Does anyone even know anyone who's seen a picture of one, though? :?
 
There's a matte black Porsche Cayenne S sitting outside, slowly getting covered in snow. Looks well wicked.
 
Nothing interesting, again:

My neighbour has just bought an E63 AMG, and no worries, I checked the plates, it's the real deal! :D

Something interesting!
So yesterday, I was invited to the launch/preview of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, which was also the event for the auction of 2 Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, which were auctioned off for S$28,000 and S$32,000.

Without further ado, here are the shoddy pictures:

It is a developing country, but just the country has a very distinct upper and lower class, and an almost non-existent middle class. The fact is that most of the population is in the lower class, but yet there's also a huge chunk of the population in the upper class. When we're talking upper class, we mean the rich guys, having money to buy nice cars, and some even have one or a few private jets. And when we're talking about lower class, we refer to those living in houses passed down for generations, living in a far-out village, earning enough to only renovate their house once in 30 or so years, only owning one or two motorbikes per family unit of the household.

So if you're at Beijing or any major city, you'll see lots of Bentleys and luxury cars, because that's where most of the richer people stay, where the standards of living are much much higher. Also to note, there's a huge difference in the ratio of supercars to luxury cars compared to other countries (i.e. Singapore), because China has poor roads, so their use is hugely limited. And also, many of the rich people prefer to spend their wealth overseas, so as to not arouse interest of the bad people to their money, since kidnap/robbery cases are plenty amongst the rich.

Additional info, snippet of a news report:
Xinhua News Agency September 26 said:
The number of millionaires in China grew 20.3 percent last year to 415,000, ranking second in the Asia-Pacific region after Japan, according to a report jointly released on Thursday by Merrill Lynch and Capgemini.

BMW 335i E91

Saw an E91 (estate/wagon) BMW 335i. Pretty rare here, and similarly rare is the E90 335...

Saw a brand new Taurus SHO in the flesh for the first time today, looked like someone taking it out for a test drive. Unfortunately wasn't able to get my cellphone out quick enough because it took off pretty quick.

Nothing exotic, but non-existant in Australia. Especially considering they sold hardly any new, this must be one of very few Samaras remaining in the country.
