Crap, you're right.

Massive power in an AWD chassis to keep things controllable-sounds awful similar to an Audi Quattro. Not that it's a bad car, but the inspiration most likely was European.

That's what I was thinking!

I'll just leave this here.

Man, too bad most of these are just European ideas that don't break. I give the Japanese their credit, but they aren't very creative when it comes to performance ideas.

The Miata isn't really that Japanese in philosophy.

Because the RX7 is the bastard child of a NSU and a Porsche 924, no.

Stop mocking us Americans!

One of these things would have to be utterly pristine to warrant a $5,500 asking price. A stickshift would help, too, but knowing the auto is a Torqueflite is comforting.

But this isn't a list of sports cars, they're luxury cars. And Who's to say I agree with the other comments?

Yes, but this isn't your list.

The BMW E30 seems to be well-represented here in Florida.

Driven on a nice road, on the weekends? Shown to youths to get them into the hobby? Tug at people's hearts?

This car can be enjoyed for what it does quite easily.

And here I was thinking Oldsmobile was invincible to acronyms...

Well, duh.

I have a feeling a lot of the people buying M cars don't really care about fuel mileage, as long as it isn't 455-esque.

OMG WTF BBQ WHY ISNT THIS ON THE LIST

Ford: We built the GT40, bitches.
