TOP 10 EXOTIC SPORTS CARS

There are cars and then there are exotic cars. These aren't sedans we drive to work in, or the SUVs we drive the kids to school with. These are automotive deities, beautiful jewels of speed and sex-appeal that populate dreams and computer desktops. With more selections from companies like Aston Martin and Lamborghini, plus classic greats like the Chevrolet Corvette, the world of exotics has never been bigger, better or more exciting. We picked a group that is reasonably easy to find and somewhat livable on a daily basis. After all, there's nothing wrong with taking the kids to school in a Ferrari.
