Default exotic cars you would like to own

What would you throw in this category? Are there used exotics like NSX's out there that are worth the money and hold their value better? I am wondering what other limited production cars exist out there that would be worth keeping for a long time. Those that know me around here know I still want to buy a NSX down the road.

Aston Martin DBS would be my first choice. Maybe the Rapide if I have need space for more than one passenger.

I still have a liking to the Saleen S7, although it is getting "aged" compared to other vehicles out there.

Other than those two, I'll be happy rolling in Desmosedici RR...

Either the Lambo Gallardo, or Ferrari F355 would be at the top of my list.

As an exotic, I'd love to have a Bugatti Veyron and have it detailed by Paul Dalton.

Bringing things back to earth, I always wanted an M5, but then wanted a Maserati Gran Turismo or Quattroporte. Now I want (and I know its not exotic, but just an expensive practical car) a Lexus LS600hL.

I have 2 lists, one realistic and one unrealistic...

Realistic and hopefully will be achieved when I am 40:

Corvette Z06
M5
(both are not so "exotic" I know...)

Unrealistic (when I win the lottery)

599 GTB Fiorano
LF-A

Carrerra GT, DBS & Vanquish S (yes I want both)

LF-A roadster looks pretty cool too

I'd have to go with the SLR because it is as fast as any exotic out there but it is the most daily drivable as well. Very comfortable, runs smooth and quiet...just a heckuva car.

After that I'm partial to several Ferrari's.
