CRX?

Look, after a hundred Aston Martins, BMWs, Ferraris, Jaguars, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Porsches, and other truly beautiful cars, there simply will not be room for any of your dear little econoboxes.  Get over it.

How did we forget the ever-classic Miura?



It's understood to be number one.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

1975 Honda CB750, 1986 Rebel Rascal (sailing dinghy), 2015 Mini Cooper, 2020 Winnebago 31H (E450), 2021 Toyota 4Runner, 2022 Lincoln Aviator

Oh HELL yes. 2o6, you just redeemed yourself more than you could have with any Bentley.

We didn't.  It's in my list on page 1.

the Teuton

The only Hondas that deserve any, ANY kind of consideration at the NSX and S sportcars, minus the S2000.  Heck, I'm not even whoring out Subaru in this thread, although the SVX might deserve an honorable mention.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I whored out a Corrado.  :lol:
Bud I'd seriously vote for an SVX.

I resisted the urge to post a 914, because I thought I would get flamed for it.

Hell, I love the thing, but I don't think it's exactly a beauty queen.

Ruining an otherwise excellent post o' pix.

Now the Corrado is a great looking car.  Does it deserve to be on this list?  I doubt it.

Again - 100 Best-Looking Cars Ever kinda by definition crowds out econoboxes.  Even the relatively good-looking ones.

I think the Lagonda looks like absolute ass.



Wow.  You beat 2o6 to earning my ultimate fail train.

I'm on the same page.  Truly beautiful cars are generally not in the domain of the hoi polloi.

The Lagonda is bold and interesting; but to exclude the Citroens and include that would be criminal.

The Lagonda has something Citroens lack - sophistication.

I'm not denying that. I just think it also looks terrible.

I'm a traditionalist.  The Daimler Double Six should be there.  So should the original Biarritz, Ferrari 330, and some limited cars like the Chrysler Thunderbolt, even though it was technically only a concept car (6 were made and most found private owners).
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

Sophistication, how so?  The Lagonda was a hit and a miss, just like the current V8 Vantage.  History finds it attractive because it is on the ugly side; in it time it was a considered terrible. 

Now, mind you, I like the Lagonda.  But beautiful isn't the word I'd use to describe it.

If concepts are in, we need to bring in the A-bomb of concepts:

That's a GT, not a GT40. However, yes. That passes.

See, they did make 6 of them and they are completely street-legal.  Is that too close of a call to include?
