Jeremy Clarkson's Top 100

I am sure some of you may have seen his presentation of the Top 100 cars of all time. Well. as I am sure each of us would, I disagreed with some of his selection of the cars.

Since I am guessing none of us wants to take the time to make a list of the top 100 (please feel free to if you want!) what is your list for Top 10 cars of all time.

Take into account all variables, like he did....ie major impact on the world, started a trend in the auto industry, you just love it etc.

I will begin, here is my Top 10:

10. McLaren F1 (defined the truest definition of a super car).
9. VW Beetle (mass transit for the world, a true people's car).
8. Porsche 911 (no explanation required).
7. Lamborghini Gallardo (Lambo with Audi reliability....wow).
6. Jeep CJ
5. Chevy Corvette (Amazing performance with a good price).
4. Bugatti Veyron (Current Pinacle of auto engineering).
3. Porsche 959 (Dream car and engineering marvel for all of us here I am certain).
2. Lotus Elise (Gorgeous, incredibly pure drivers car, with a toyota heart for reliability).
1. Honda Civic (This basic car has become the modern hot rod. Except it's reliable, rev's ludicrously, is boringly reliable (ie no excuse to replace bits), and is inexpensive).


I am SHOCKED at what I picked for first. SHOCKED. It just seems that a car that anyone can buy, that will turn ludicrous, Ferrari like RPM without the maintenance, should be on the list). Not to mention the efficiency of the engine in these times....

The biggest issue with the Civic is the typical driver....not the fault of the car....

Anyway, what are your thoughts...
