I can't believe that the Fiat 500, Citreon 2CV and London Taxi were all placed above the TT. Is everyone mad

The Golf GTI represents many automotive milestones.

Performance can be affordable.
Hatchbacks can be cool.

And, finally, you just don't mess with the little red hatch.

I agree with the Mclaren F1 being up there, but to be really honest, I think the beetle should have done better than 13!?

really...:bs:

No, the Honda S2000 is not in the top 100. The only Honda's in it are the Civic at place 81 and the NSX at place 51

I must at least partially agree with him. Not entirely from the most recent 350z (which is a beautiful car), but for the everything leading up to it dating back to the 70's with (then) Datsun's 250 and 280 Zs.

I'm still very happy to see the GTi rubbing elbows with the F1!!:clap:

well if you think about it, the Z's were great sports cars for their time and then it changed with the 350z. 240z-300zx's were amazing especially the 300ZXTT since it came with the VG30DETT. 3.0V6 TT is an amazing motor capable of monster power. nissan should have kept the 350z with a 3.5V6 TT. that would have made that car so much better.

gti ftw though:happyanim:
