Look through those picture galleries, and tell me how the Automobile magazine could have come up with such a mundane list when there are such gorgeous cars are around as this
or this
just look at the dashboard on this, in a Fiat of all things
Feh, I’ve never found curvy cars that look like a half-melted gumball attractive. Gimme either a lovely mean sharky-looking car like a '63 CorvetteStingray or something quirky and unusual like a ReliantScimitar. Mmmm lovely.
Any list that does not include the most powerful looking sexist sports car ever built is suspect. This bad boy makes an XKE look like the that pain girl with the flat chest, and funny eyeglasses you went to high school with.
Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Ferrari 250 GTO.
You may start drooling.
BTW Tuckerfan the GT40 was a production car. Available with a 289 IIRC. Galpin ford has one of the Last Ford GT’s painted in the Gulf Wyler colors on their showroom. I think I would sell my soul, or my left testicle for that car. Here is a taste of what I am talking about They don’t have a pic on line of the full car. Too bad.
One got stuck behind us travelling up north last week for about 15 miles. Not that it was our car holding him up (we were all stuck behind a huge furniture removal lorry doing about 30 mph, tops, downhill, when the wind was right), but it was funny looking back at the DB9 driver getting increasingly frustrated. Perhaps he was worried about running out of petrol, or oil or something, I can’t imagine his car enjoys footering about on a single track road at bicycle pace.
Yeah! How the hell did the Rx-7 get left off of that list? Inside, outside, the way it drives and feels - a totally sexy car. And they’re beautifully curvy, unlike half of those door-stop shaped Lambo’s, Ferrari’s and such.
What a disappointing list. I wont even start on the many that I disagree with.

(I’m sad… we just sold our black 93 Rx-7 R1 (totalled by a jerk who didn’t see us). :mad: )*
And since I owned 3 of them, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Datsun 240-Z. The best looking of all the ‘Z’ cars - pure of line, no ugly bumpers or 2+2 humps. Just a beautiful car.
Hey, Rick, what was the really nice looking Volvo that they made in the late 60s/early 70s? Was it the 1800? I don’t know if I’d put it in the top 25, but it’s certainly better looking than some of the cars on their list.
