A H1 exceeds the 'tough' category.
Vinny Jones in the H1 in 'gone in 60 seconds' - Bad ass
Robert Deniro drove an H1 in 'show time' - shitty movie but he looked bad ass in the H1.
H1 wins the "toughest looking" car category, hands down.
heh the ford rims on that vehicle cost a bunch if original. aftermarket replicas 32 Ford Wires costs about 300 a piece. the tires run about 200 a piece. other than it being retarded long, its an ok rod.

I love the way alot of new cars look, but they dont fit this category.
Danny, the G8....is decent. Its basically a 4dr Camaro. Yes, i know it's really a re-badged Holden, but otherwise, it might as well be a Camaro. Now i know quite a few people who would take the G8 over the Camaro, me included. The GXP is no joke.
**SIDENOTE**
Check this out...Possibilities of either Camaro SS Sedan and the Lumina SS(from the middle east)
And who can forget this atrocity of an idea, the ST....
And Holden's idea for a possible G8 coupe/GTO.....
Almost, sorta looks Skyline-esque.
Anyway, it has potential. There are, however, a few kinks that GM and Holden need to work on. Things like rubber seals and boots leaking due to RHD-to-LHD conversions.
It is a good car though. Just something about seems a little too tough and not enough luxury.
Says the guy who went from a Pontiac GTP to a Fit.
Neither of which are even remotely considered for this topic.
I guess I should bow down to the new Evo owner, though... and say that you have the most badass car hands-down.
As for the H1 and all other "I can drive through walls" cars... not the idea I'm going for.
as badass as it is, it's still fucking expensive. 110k for a corvette?
here's my latest favorite; the prodrive P2-the car that made jeremy clarkson puke!

When I think "tough guy" car I automatically think the new Chargers. There is just something very intimidating about seeing one of those come up behind you even when you know its not a cop.
I think the GTR is a close second though. They are pretty tough looking.
