Top 100 cars ever. Sag made it at number 68. Tuscan 2 and Griff also make it.

Cerbera must have been around the 30 mark then?

Honestly, time for a cheap story with everyone away in the holiday month?

The Sag should have been higher than that! Good result though

I'm sorry, have EVO gone stark raving mad???

How can they place the Renault Sport Megan R26.R above the Sagaris, Griff and Tuscan 2???

They do seem to have an unbelievable love of that Renault. I went on an EVO trackday recently (Bedford) with my Sag, and they brought the Renault down so I had a good look at it up close. Not only is it not actually THAT fast (in proper sportscar terms), but it just seems like a totally compromised car in my opinion.

I'm mean sure, it is a fast hatch ..... - but why on earth would you BUY a hatch, with no rear seats and a built-in rollcage? Why not just buy a proper sportscar? Renault seem to have done away with all the practicality that a hatch offers, and have ended up with a completely impractical, plasticky, tacky, fast .... err ... hatch-shaped track special. Weird.

EVO is a joke and I would take what they say with a large pinch of salt. A couple of years ago they hailed the Integra Type R as the greatest FWD car ever created up to that point. Now we find that that Type R is 15 places below a car it beat in the same test; a Clio Trophy, what the feck! Show some consistancy please.

The list did appear to be a bit random- 250 GTO down in 63rd? Eh? Oh that's right I am sure that I would gain much more pleasure out of driving my Griff... (No I don't think so either)

Because it probably is the best fwd car to date and will be a collector's car in my view.
