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...

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:

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:
