I just found the 550 but I searched for 575 and 360 and found those articles but those are 2-4 years old, so I posted here hoping somebody might no of some more recent.

The cars haven't changed, have they? Why does it matter?

BTW, here's an Edmunds long-term test of a 550:

The cars didn't really change, but in reviews the writers compare them to other vehicles and things. So I would prefer the most recent Road Tests, but if I can't find them it's ok, but for the 360 and 575 the most recent should be 2004.

Their competitors haven't changed much either.

What do you need this for?

Maybe he just became the world's wealthiest teenager, and wants to know what he's most interested in.

Since I definitely can't write reviews on cars like these (or just about any car) I find reviews from other places and use them on my site.

All the reviews:

Just link to the older reviews, they're not so out of date.

Kevin, just found a new 360 review, but you have to download it in PDF.

I'm still not seeing why reviews on super-sport cars that no one can afford and the average person will never read is vital to your site, in it's beginning stages...

Thanks, but I found a 2004 on Edmunds.

Well, I really don't have much left to do on my site other than the reviews, and I'm going in alphabetical order, so..... Now I'm on Ford anyway.

Well, you should do those reviews yourself. We know how fair you'd be on the Fords.

I would if I could but I can't.

I actually would be fair, surprise, surprise.

Oh, of course you would... It'd be something like this. "Ford F150- Decent truck, nice interior materials, blah blah blah, not recommended however, because the emblem on the front signifies its inferiority to everything else on the road".
