It’s all subjective. If you mean “good looking”, that’s especially subjective. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you know? If you mean “fast”, that’s subjective too, but a Porsche is essentially a mid-engine VW, so there are lots of faster cars out there. As a car nut from way back, I say, just pick one you like and stick with it. I’ll bet that’s what your old man is doing.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Bad as in horrible? not really, could be worse.
Bad as in cool? depends.
But this is a reskinned VW Beetle with a modified engine.
the baddest
Mmmmm??? That’s a tough question. What about the Corvette Z06? The ’69 Camaro? The Shelby Series One? The McLaren F1? See what I mean?
It’s all a matter of taste. Style. Elegance. Muscle. Speed. Price. Rarity. I think the Porsche 356 is an awesome car. The baddest? Probably not.
Roger ,if your Dad says it then it must be true in his heart. So by you helping him then you too can say it.

In the VW MG world YES it is…
Over all NO…. F1, 959, 928 S4
ask him about a 931 Turbo or 932 Turbo Those are some odd balls.
,,,,
No, not BAD, JUST COOL, its a 50 year old sports car and getting pretty valuable
Most of the late 50′s American cars would outrun it
um….NO that would be the 962
I would say the 69 Mustang is the baddest car ever built.
