The original Mini should be near the top, if not at the top in my opinion. Although it wasn't the first front wheel drive car it was the first commercially viable, and the first to use the layout as a cost saving/space maximizing design element. This set the trend for the average family car and the layout is still in use today. Sir Alec Issigonis was a genius in my book.
