Aside from the Veyron, it’s a pretty good list. Focusing on innovation instead of fanbase for a car is pretty big of a mag that size to do. Nice. ---

^^^ Me too. the Veyron is amazing. Watch the Veyron vs. the F1 video parts 1 and 2. Incredible cars both, but I love the fact that both can do more than go in a straight line fast. I love how they kind of take jabs at American cars… like with the vette… implying that it’s the first vette that can actually take a corner. Being an Audi guy, I love the RS2. A beast of a grocery getter. Didn’t see any BMW representation other than their engine in someone else’s car. I have renewed love for the Lotus and may look in to one of those for the next toy. ---

Let’s be realistic. American cars don’t need to be made for Corners . We have Interstates and Highways. ---

No I didn’t mean the Veyron has no innovation (it’s fucking brimming with it actually), I just really think the execution in that car could’ve been more appealing. It’s a hideous car IMO, that statment was based purely on aesthetics. ---

It’s a hideous car IMO, that statment was based purely on aesthetics. Got it; agreed. To me it’s kind of so ugly that it’s bad ass. But not for that kind of money. If I could pay that, it had better be better aesthetically. > [@Guitar Hero High Score Thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/guitar-hero-high-score-thread/41965/9): > > Let’s be realistic.

I like G’s too, both the kind that are far left of the decimal, and the holding on kind! ---

It’s a hideous car IMO, that statment was based purely on aesthetics. Understood. I would think a huge percentage of people out there would say it is not the sweetest looking exotic. The grille resembles an old Edsel. I’m surprised my favorite exotic isn’t on their list. I know they like it alot, too. Koenigsegg CCX-R. Far better looking than the Veyron, but only about 9/10s of the performance. It is still a serious piece of machinery and a much more realistic price. ---

Good point. I love the CCR, it certainly deserved a spot on that list. Shame they backed out of the Saab talks, might have been interesting for them. ---

Other than the Panda and the S-Max, I’d take any car on that list.
