Here's a formula for impressiveness:

Given that:

e = Horsepower+Torque numbers
r = redline in RPM
t = number of gears in the transmission
c = 1 for automatic, 2 for manual, 4 for paddle shifter
g = number of g's on the skidpad
i = how many useless gee-gaws are in the interior
cf = how much carbon fiber is on it
l = overall looks and styling, equal to the number of people who say that they would buy one on a message board and then never do
bd = 1 if it has a bow tie or dart on it, 0 if it does not

IMP = .375(e)(r) + .125(t)(c) + .25(g) + .125(i)(cf) + .125(l) + 99999(bd)
