Editor Lust – L.A. Auto Show Cars We're Obsessing Over
2009 Spyker C8 Aileron
It’s not possible to ignore the Spyker C8 Aileron. That would be like keeping your cool at a cocktail party with a flaming giraffe drinking from a chocolate fountain in the corner of the room. But it isn’t the exterior that pushed my lust button (which sounds really wrong); the interior of the Spyker is wrapped in more leather than a biker bar on the weird side of town. Even the backside of the rearview mirror is wrapped in leather. Calling it luxurious is an understatement. Opulent would get you closer. We’ll go with savagely indulgent. There is more hand-stitching in the Spyker than a Nike factory. My only concern is for the state of Wisconsin, which had to donate a third of its cow herd to produce this interior. -- Anne Ducale, Web Content Specialist
