Top gear picks top 20 cars in their 17 years!

Number 10, NSX:

"The NSX was a massive motoring milestone. It made the West sit up and pay attention to Japanese performance engineering, it made Gordon Murray reassess what made a great supercar when he was designing the McLaren F1, and then it did something truly unthinkable. Somehow it made Honda cool.

The NSX R was a lightened, stiffened run out model with a track focused steering and suspension set up that meant it was almost unbearably hard to drive on the public road . But sometimes a refusal to compromise is what tickles TopGear's fancy. It was also only available in white, which is essential for all proper Japanese supercars."

One thing I like about this is... There is no ranking, just "Best 20 cars."

One thing I have to say is some of those cars on that list I would not desire very much. Fiat Panda? Renault Clio Cup? It is an interesting group to say for sure. However, living in the States we are not privy to the groups of cars available across the pond, as they put it. The Vauxall Monaro is nothing more than a GTO of Pontiac as I believe. There is a new magazine out that talks about the the 20 great cars that we will never see in the USA. One is the Ford Focus RS. It looks bad ass and I wish we had it here. I do support 80% of the cars on the list. There are some I don't know much about therefore I can't make a good judgement on them.

Lots of duds on that list. But the show itself is awsome.

I mean you could argue that a top 20 list should ONLY include Ferrari and Lambos of every year. But that would be overkill though, no? They did include one example from both makers.
