As subjective as this list may be, I'm glad that all three cars I own are on list. (Mitsubishi Starion, RX8 and STI). I'm not sure about the order, but for the most part they have a good list of cars there that each did well for their era. I've owned my Starion for 13 years, and back in the day it was one of the hottest machines out there. it got looks just like my RX8 does today. Today it's basically forgotten by all except enthusiasts, but it's nice to see it on the list and not forgotten for what it did in it's era.
On a side note. They need to add another car to that list. the Chrysler conquest and Starion are identical car, yet take up two spaces on the list. TISK TISK!! :D |

Even then, the STi is still more bang for your buck. :confused: Does anyone know how they came up with the rankings?

MY '91 Civic Si didn't make the cut . . . the '88-'91 CRX did, but not the regular Civic. I know the CRX's were "sportier", but I have a soft spot for my dorky little black hatch. Plus, it's a way better sleeper.

Oh, and the 2005 STi does come with a radio, which is part of the reason why its base MSRP went up slightly. ;) |
they need to get Mitsu's cock outta their mouth.

where's the ford escort on this list? :)

Where's my 911? No 911! Gimme a break! Any best car list without a 911 is not a greatest car list! And compared to the Supra the 911 IS a compact. Jeez.

911 is an over priced vw bug with horrible trunk space. The Hyundai Tiburon on the other hand, a work of art with an engine from the gods.

Unfortunately, it wasn't so robustly made.:( I nuked the motor twice in 3 years and gave up. |
What a load of garbage, whoever mad that list should be stoned to death.

Thanks, I feel better.

"Road and Track" did a 100 greatest cars list a few years back that was much better. I think the fb RX-7 was around #40 or so.

The RX-8 is ranked higher than the third gen RX-7.
Interesting. |
Notice that too? I thought most people loathed my car, or are they just jealous? :cool:
