Surely there are "hotter" cars than the BMW M Coupe, and the Caddy and Lincoln, whilst historically significant, are IMO not the best of American Iron (Shelby 350/500 GT , 1963 Corvette SWC, others...)

No McLaren F1, no "modern" Ferrari, Lambo, etc. -- no NSX (or any Japanese marque for that matter). Given the ones that DID make the list, makes you wonder...

All just a matter of opinion.

Saw a Testarossa at NSXPO this weekend. It just didn't move me. (Maybe I'm out of my Miami Vice days. )

As for the M Coupe, .....geez, that car is cool (in a funky way), but top 15 hottest of all time? Yeah, right.

I am definitely in agreement about the Countach. That car still grabs me!!!

I'll take it!! I loved that car!

P.S., glad you made it home in one piece, Randy. You didn't hit anything on the way back did you?

Man, that really fumes me up! j/k


A Porsche 917?!?!? I must be missing something... this is just not ringing my bell!

Maybe they are thinking out of the box on "hottest" cars. More so than just visual appeal but also how they hit the market and their popularity when they arrived and or how different they were? (M-Coupe)

I'm not big on Caddy's or Lincolns but those cars were pimped seriously by famous people and in movies.

In regards to the Porsche 917, it may not look like much but at the time, the car was so great that it was banned from the circuit after blowing away the competition.


Testerossa....it was just a cutting edge large Ferrari at the time, and yeah, Miami Vice made it even more popular. Still, hand me the keys to a 512TR version anyday and never see me again.

Personally, from that list, I would have to say that the Countach is hands down the hottest car in appeal, making one do a triple take, and still a jaw dropping hit.

In response to bacon's "ugly list"... I remember hearing that Rosie O'Donnell's (sp) favorite cars were the Pacer and the Gremlin. She was dead serious. I just KNEW something was wrong with her....

 

[bacon]

My first car was 77 Plymouth Volare stationwagon. I thought Bacon and I have same taste in cars.
