An F40 is an icon and would be fun to try, a Duesenberg would be another one. I can think of all kinds of expensive exotics I would like to drive but wouldn't want the expense and maintenance.

Most of us dream of getting to drive legendary cars like the Ferrari F40 and the Porsche 930 Turbo, but would owning and maintaining these cars be just as rewarding?
Perhaps, like puppies or kittens, some cars are better enjoyed knowing you can give them back to their owners at the end of the day.
What are some cars you want to drive someday, but never want to own and be responsible for?

Impreza STi. Between the engine bottom-end issues, the parts weirdnesses, and the ability to rust audibly, I wouldn't buy one unless it was silly cheap.
The driving experience is great, though. Especially with a GT35R and a front mount intercooler...
Any Jeep
Any hellcat powered thing
Anything Italian
Post E36 BMWs
Anything French
Nissan Murano Crosscabriolet
Stock engined 3rd gen rx7.
If I had the money for an F40 or the like I wouldnt mind paying maintenance. I would be okay with the cost of running for something so special. The ones I have a problem with are the less special, crazy maintenance cars.
Most AMG Mercs and M cars come to mind.
My exception would be the F355. I have a special affinity to that car, and I know the maintenance and repairs are horrid. Outside of the sound its not that special anymore.
Most supercars, one reason I want to do the thing in LasVegas where you rent then for a few laps
Alfa Romeo Montréal
VW Phaeton or the v10 tdi Touareg
Ferrari Daytona
Citroen SM
The 3 rotor Mazda Cosmo in stock form (only reason I wouldn't own it is I imagine parts availability to be nil)
just about any car from Group C racing history ..
Anything with an Animal as the hood emblem
McLaren F1
