What other cars have strakes?
 

I think the strakes on the 8 add nice detail. What other cars have "strakes" on them?

Two come into mind right away:

Chrysler Crossfire - (cheap plastic looking up close)

Mercedes SL class - (I think we bit off this)

M3? or is that a gill

Z8

Aston Martin DB9

Aston Martin Vanquish

The Mercedes SL strakes are plastic too... You'd think if you paid $80-100k for a car they'd make the strakes aluminum!

They're also available as an option on the 2005 SLK -- they're also plastic.

Wow, I like their Avalanche a lot more that the one we've got in the US.

Not quite. I don't consider a single bar across an opening as strakes. I consider them as multiple bars coming out of or over top a vent as accent pieces. The bar on the z8 is part of the vent itself.
