Before I click: Jaguar E-type was number one, right?
ETA: whoa - it wasn't even in the top five! I don't think that's happened before. And the DB9 ahead of the DB5 is just nuts.

The E-type was #7 THere were some good cars in there, several of my favorites. As with most lists of this type, I think they arranged things specifically to stir up a bit of controversy, because that drives more hits on their site/list which is the whole goal. There's not really any other explanation for some of those entries and it seems like the order was random. I guess though, since this sort of thing is completely subjective 99% of the time, it's not surprising that we wouldn't all agree. I like the narrow body cobra, the DB5, the Miura, a couple of the old ferraris, the e-type (of course) and even one of the older Countachs the LP400 Periscopio. But I have a hard time with some of the others being on the list, the Aventador? Beautiful? Saleen S7? and even the diablo, beautiful, no, definitely not. I even like the Toyota and the Bugatti. I think I prefer the original Ford GT40 or the first Ford GT over the newest Gen of the GT.

I hate these websites that have "top x..." or "x best..." and you have to use those arrows to see the next ones. They just want to serve up ads.

I didn't look at the site. They make my computer crash. I hope this car was #1. I just saw a silver one a few days ago at the auto museum in Reno.

The sight has too many pop ups and clickbait. I didn’t get past 4 before I got frustrated and quit.

The crack pipe was in rapid rotation in that editorial meeting. Any list that contains any Ferrari from this century has zero credibility. Saleen S7? It's awkward and ungainly. Lotus Esprit but not the old Elite? Aventador? Come on, Striking, purposeful yes, beautiful not close.

1. Ferrari 250
2. Also Ferrari 250 3. Ferrari 246 Ferrari won all the medals!! A Citroen was on the list as well. How could a Citroen make the list, but then the Pacer gets left off?!?! Also, Aston Martin 5, 9, and 11. Seems redundant.
