That's only because "well sorted 944" wasn't on the list. RD sucks that way...

reader's digest? wow, i only see them in the dentist's office.
mustang is a very reconized name, but it isnt that cool. if we're into horses..i'd debate that "bronco" is cooler. early AMC cars, like the javalin, or matador..those were names!! ugly ass cars tho.

No question, it's the Borgward Isabella.

I always thought the Jensen Interceptor was a cool name. Or DeTomaso Mangusta. or any of the old lambo names.
oh yeah, and the TVR names were cool, too. Jomar, Grantura, Griffith, Vixen, Taimar, et al
