Description: They sell a good line at Noble: "The M600 is neither dictated to nor hindered by unnecessary computer assistance. It puts you back in the driver seat." Those are the last two sentences of the M600 brochure and we love them. The guys at this small British company have a history of doing things right, too. We tested an M400 a few years back and were flabbergasted by its stunning speed, supple ride and livable ergonomics. The M600 is bigger, more powerful and should be quicker than that car. It's a true exotic in experience, if not in name.

IL says: It's about the driving experience at Noble, and this little company has earned our thumbs-up.
