I hate it when random mainstream media sources put together dumb lists like this and then use the wrong pictures. What's up with the hideous body kit on what I can assume is a F40 kit car?

All five are still in existence with one owned by the Factory on display in the engine manufacturing facility in Maranello.

I think they mean "iconic" or "important", since many of those cars were both of those. Problem is, some of them were important to their manufacturer (ie, they got them back in the game) but they weren't necessarily any better than the competition. Audi A4, anyone?

I'm disappointed the AC Cobra or GT40 isn't on the list though.

Yeah it just seems like they went for a mix of the most common (highest sales numbers) of cars and threw in some that went for big money at auctions in recent years. I mean civics, accords, camery's are all good cars but best of all time? Not really. Maybe important to the automotive industry but best of all time is a little much. First they need to define what their criteria was. High sales numbers? Large fan following? Value? Just another hacked together list.
