Motor Trend starts the Bentley Continental Speed Convertible review this way:

In the world of Myers-Briggs you’re either an “I” or an “E”. An introvert or an extrovert. The personality test doesn’t analyze a person’s automotive preferences, but if it did it’s obvious which group would gravitate to the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Speed Convertible. This English cruiser is big and brutish, tailor made for the big “E”s of the world.

That made me wonder: Is there a introvert car out* there that also appeals to the enthusiast? Post your Top Five (with pics).

*meaning nobody turns the head, every other car (maybe except a Prius) seems exciting benath it. Difference to a sleeper? It’s a enthusiast car right from the factory.

Pontiac GTO, because people forgot about them and they don’t particularly look as aggressive as they are

Chevy SS, not your Dad’s sedan

ATS-V, other than the hood scoop it looks like the 2.0L I4 car

1M, looks like a small cheap BMW but isn’t

Saturn Sky Redline/ Solstice GXP, and two door turbo coupe that people may dismiss along with a Z4 and Boxter

X2 on the Sky Redline. The only external differences are the miniscule redline badges, blacked out headlight housings an dual exhaust outlets.

Speaking of the Solstice, completely forgot about these. Just looked at local CL for cars for sale....pretty decent GXPs for around $12k, not bad I suppose.

Also found this - removable hardtop coupe with 2,000 (yes, two thousand) miles. Asking $35k....

Fuck I want a hard top one so bad!! Fun fact, the roof panel is actually too big to fit in the back of the car, so you either have to choose to drive with it, or with out it and hope there is no weather.

The Sky just looks better than the Solstice too, unless you get a Solstice coupe.
