I don't look at cars like the Lamborghini Gallardo, Merc SLS, etc. as supercars. Just high-end sports cars.

I think a lot of it depends on where you live, as well. In the Tysons Corner / McLean / Leesburg / Great Falls / Fairfax area of Northern VA when you see a Gallardo or 430 (and even the 458 now) the immediate reaction is, "cool, another one."

Don't forget there is a term when a car is just too super; they are "hypercars". The veyron is a Hypercar

AMC Gremlin is even better.

Let's define ubercar right now. Ubercar is a car that defies physics, costs more than the national budget of an industrialized country and is adornments fit for a king.
