Too bad such a great car gets low sales.

Damn SUV's

Actually, there are several Morgan distributors in North America. The cars are a bit more rare and unheard of outside of their home country than other exotics though.

Additionally, like others I'm surprised at the lack of the Miata/MX-5 on the list. The name Miata is being phased out in the U.S., but Mazda has no plans to actually phase out the car. The MX-5 would be the clear Number 1 in my book if you were considering driver's cars with the best bang for the buck. I had a 96M Miata when I bought my 05 RX-8, and I actually preferred to drive the Miata if highways, passengers, or luggage weren't involved. Unfortunately, I got rearended by an F150 while driving the Miata, and it was totalled. At least it wasn't my brand new RX-8!

Lists like these are always admittedly subjective no matter how scientific they try to make things, but they're always fun to read and have arguments over! I think Automobile Magazine did a great job of putting together a list of the 20 greatest cars (in terms of impact on the U.S. auto market) of the last two decades in their April 06 issue. They didn't rank them in any particular order:

- Acura NSX
- BMW M3
- BMW M5
- Chevy Corvette
- Chrysler 300C
- Chrysler Minivan
- Ferrari F40
- Ferrari F430
- Honda Accord
- Honda Civic
- Jeep Cherokee
- Lexus LS400
- Mazda Miata
- Mini Cooper S
- Mercedes- Benz 300E
- Porsche Boxster
- Nissan 300ZX Turbo
- Porsche 911
- Volkswagen GTI
- Subaru Impreza WRX

However, as much as I love Ferrari, I don't know if they'd warrant two cars in a list of 20.

The F430 is a very nice car but I fail to see how it has had or will have an impact on the US auto market. One can make a pretty good argument for all the other cars on the list.
