No no no, you have it all wrong.
Exotic cars are ALWAYS rare, sometimes expensive, sometimes radically styled, always desireable, and sometimes very very fast.
For example, I would classify all Ferraris and Lamborghinis as exotic, but the only Porsches that make the grade IMHO are all the 911 Turbos, the 959 (of course!), the GT2 + GT3, the factory race cars, the 73 Carrera RS 2.7 (because of its high desireability), and some of the rarer models (916, 924 Carrera GT, 550, 904).
What else makes the grade? DeTomaso Panteras, Viper GTS, DeLoreans (I know that they aren't fast and have a tendency to fall apart, but try justifying that they aren't exotic), POSSIBLY Corvette Stingrays, Lotus Esprits, Bugattis, Shelby Cobras, Jaguar XJ220s, McLarens, Mercedes CLKGTRs, BMW Z8s... the list goes on and on.
