American magazine, but overall I think pretty good. Any doubters?

[Monty Zoomer]

I like it, I think it's fairly accurate.

[hesnotthemessiah]

Just a couple of surprises for me;

The Viper and the F40......thought they might be higher up the order.

ferrari?

[E31Shrew]

Surprised it wasn't dominated by American cars however. See the comments underneath the article, don't quite agree!

What's the orange car behind the Alfa?

On topic though it's a great list, but F40 below Enzo and F50 is just wrong.

I think it's the Vauxhall XVR.

[chris333]

A good list, and surely the first time a Triumph Spitfire has beaten an F40 at anything!

Obviously enjoyed their day out at Goodwood though didn't they

[SilverWraith]

Not a single Rolls-Royce!! And where's the Bugatti Royale?

I would have expected the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost to have been listed:


AX201 - THE Silver Ghost (reputedly the world's most valuable car) with our car behind it



Besides those omisions it's fine.

Yup, seems like you're right. Very odd looking car that.

[PUA]

ok who checked to see if their car was on the list!

Some beauties but the following I don't think should be there - Elise, ferrari 360, s2000, lexus LFA, and wtf is the audi S6 doing there!

[Zoobeef]

Meh, made it to the dizzy heights of 94 haha

[kiteless]

A 1970's Pontiac Trans-Am at #36?

Really?

Really?

[Chuck328]

No M3 or Countach? Or did I just miss them?

[FisiP1]

Audi S6 what in the hell.

F40 & Testarossa way too low.

MP4-12C & Evora way too high.

Amongst many, many others.

No, you didn't miss them but the guys putting the list together sure did.


I'm just relieved the MX5 isn't there

[BarbaricAvatar]

As usual with these lists it's mostly the right cars just in the wrong order.

Far too many American cars, far too many vintage cars, and the newest car in the top 10 was last produced in 1975. It says more about the age of the writer than the attractiveness of the cars.

Also no Countach, no 944, the Aventador gets in but the Murcielago doesn't, no new DB7 etc.
However i'm sure if we all wrote our own lists that everyone else would disagree with them too.
But in this case the writer is an idiot. He omitted the XJ220.
