Hmm, let me think.

This car came with a Kenwood CD Changer that got press for a reason other than it's sound quality.
It's designer is currently working on a Smart like city car
It also included a dial up modem

I thought someone would have gotten that based on those clues. Here are some more:

Ayrton Senna
Michael Andretti
Ralph Lauren
Sultan of Brunei
Honda
BMW
Papaya

Wait.

I think I know it.

McLaren F1? If you're indeed talking about Gordon Murray.

We have a winner, it is indeed the McLaren F1. In every article I remember reading when the car came out, it mentioned how the Kenwood CD changer was specifically designed to be the lightest weight unit out there and to withstand the performance the car was capable of. It included a dial up modem to connect to McLaren headquarters for diagnostics, and Gordon Murray is the one that is currently working on the city car. Senna and Andretti were McLaren F1 drivers and consulted during development, Ralph Lauren and the Sultan of Brunei are notable owners, they wanted to get a Honda engine for the car but ended up with BMW, and Papaya orange is McLaren's signature color.

Ooh, I know it, but I'll let someone else have a crack at it. Think I'll eat some Mexican food for dinner.

Toyota FT-1? That's the one that makes the most sense to me.

Well my guess was a Toyota Tacoma, hence the taco reference, but I already have been informed that was wrong, but close, so who's got another guess.

Hmmm, maybe an Infiniti? The new Infiniti Q50. That's the only vehicle I can think of that would have that price and that amount of power.

Okay, the only vehicle I can think of that matches those specifications is the Toyota Tundra. Technically, the truck isn't new.
