Entertaining. But I'll disagree with the GT-R and vette.

And while I agree Foose is running too much one-note I'll still take one of his creations over many others, including the late Boyd. Nice clean lines in most of 'em.

Man, everyone loves to rail on the IS-Fs fake exhaust tips, however no one says ANYTHING about the R8. Now the suspension is a whole other issue.

Because it is such a bandwagon thing to rag on with the ISF, I personally dont care it has fake tips.. it is a great car.

HYBRIDS

S2000 CR

I agree with just about the entire list except for the vette, I think the car is severely underrated with teh masses, just look at how most people approach it on these forums.

I don't think the S2000CR is overrated by anyone. Most people agree that it's only marginally better and a little more track ready than a regular S2000 and the price increase may only be justifiable to a small number of people.

i agree with putting the SRT8 at the top of your list. what a piece of crap.

if i could drive a GTR or tesla, i would, happily, in public. i would not launch.

small suvs are for people who have small brains. its a good mix between an SUV and a small car? yet you get the worst of both worlds? good conclusion people.

top gear - if it hasnt gotten old yet, it prob wont. rock on

speed channel - more cool stuff and more REAL racing. yes nascar racers arent flat out jokes but there is better out ther. much better.

i like the ISF and Si, havent driven them but i would.

As for the Jag, its good to see that an american car can update a car more than with just a few body panels. its also good to see they can make it have 510hp (XFR)

corvette? eh , everyone has one

bob lutz and the rest of american car spokespeople - please shut up, you are stupid and you are endorsing mostly donkey poop. its a shame americans are partial to donkey poop.

me - i am an idiot and i know it. at least i bought an s2000 so im not 100% dumbass

miles per gallon - more like learn how to slow down if you are worried about gas. or learn how to not buy an SUV. or learn how to walk, ride a bike, move closer or not live your life at 1 billion miles an hour

good topic, its just your opinion but theres nothing wrong with seeing what other people think
Niice list!

I hope people dont think I came up with that list.

LINK IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ORIGINAL POST.

I don't think it's a bad car, I think it's awesome but the fake tips would have to go, they look dumb as rocks. CBE change and it'd be on!!!!
