Blame it on the holidays, bad timing or just too much brandy in the eggnog, but I somehow missed my call from Tesla to come drive the new Tesla Roadster Sport. Oh well, maybe next time. But, the professional automotive journalists over at Winding Road did get that call and here’s what they have to say about Elon’s latest (and fastest) offering.

The hip-hop world took note yesterday when test-runs of the new Aston Martin One-77 proved it to be the fastest Aston ever. With only 77 units built and a $1.7 million price tag, it’s also the most expensive Aston ever. And, in economic times like these, perhaps the only folks who can afford to go 220 in an Aston Martin are rap stars and AIG executives. Check out Jalopnik’s take.
