you can't, but you (and most other people on the planet) can see that these are both sexy cars. now try to compare a citroen against anything more powerful than a riding lawnmower.....don't what drugs they were taking, but they aren't working. | ||

Hang on, folks. Do we judge the cars by today's standards, or standards of their respective own era? How do you compare an E-type Jag with a 360 Modena? | ||

This list needs VIagra ..no 550 Marnaello , no 360 Spider , no Alfa Spider , no Ferrari TDF . A Porsche 930 Turbo is much more sexy than a RS ..the Turbo has a big ass . Citroen SM sexy ? please ! | ||

Where is the 360 Spider on the list? It"s the only car in the "What is Sexy" Victoria's Secret commercial. | ||

Hey they forgot two great classics! Bizzarrini's Grifo A3 Stradale, which he thought a better design than his Ferrari 250 GTO (same aerodynamics, but more power 365-420hp vs. 297hp) & of course, the Iso Grifo. | ||

Yup, there are plently of Japanese cars that have a lot of Italy in them... a new supercar, one that I'm excited about, is the ZZ-2 or AS-1 or whatever the heck it's called... even though it's Japanese, it has some Ferrari lines... | ||

I was watching a thing on motorcycles last night (actual a couple programs on it) and they said all the Italian bike manufacturers used to crush their bikes after the season to prevent the Japs from stealing their ideas. Agusta used to actually pave them into the parking lot. Then they started talking about Ferrari, etc and how they used to crush their cars for the same reason. This leads me to have absolutely not sympathy for the Japs, the bastards are probably the leading cause for the lack of Italian racing machines surviving into modern times. This is in addition to any American based grudges I would have with the country. Let the flaming begin. | ||

Matty, Yah, EVO is a UK mag. Under the same umbrella as Car; one of my favorite car magazines. | ||

If i'm not mistaken EVO is a UK magazine correct? I know all of you Fcar owners are disappointed that some of your favorites were not in the top ten & thats understandable. I myself think the 288GTO should have been #1. However i'm quite dissapointed that no Japanese cars were listed in this poll. I def. think that the 93-95 Mazda RX-7 & 2000-? Honda S2000 could have been in at least the 40-50 bracket being IMO classy & timeless designs not to mention sexy. Cheers | ||

The P4 is a beautiful car, and well appreciated by everyone on this forum, but my vote goes to it's little brother, the Dino 206 SP. Far prettier than the P4, and lacking the "big butt" look of that model. | ||

I think the Murcielago is very sexy... much more exotic looking than a McLaren F1 that's for sure. | ||

Junior Member Username: Dogue Post Number: 143 Registered: 9-2001 |
I am sorry, but a 63 corvette #5 and a 250LM did not make the list at all!! A 250 California Spider, behind a Countach, Porsche 911 RS, Ferrari Daytona, and on and on... rediculous! I do understand that if I compiled the list it would be Ferrari top heavy, but come on some of these cars are cool, but a California Spider should be in the top 5. The Murcielago looks like an exercise in design, some school assignment for 1st year car design, cool looking, but just like the coutach it will look very dated in the next few years. IMHO. | ||

Definitily a European-generated list. There are some strong picks here, but no Auburn Speedster?  | ||

They covered them all but boy would I like to change the order! Lamborghini Countach before a California, GTO or a 275 - don't think so! | ||

couldn't agree more manu. people actually think the lancia stratos, bmw 3.0 csl, the citroen ds, the citroen sm (anything ever made by citroen for that matter), or the lotus elise are sexier than my 512tr? what planet are they on ? | ||

And these supposed to be the sexiest list ? They must have been watching with eye patches on or something. The biggest mistake: Where is the F50 ??? To agree with Racer 001, the F40 is ok but the F50 must be like ten times more sexier (ok now i'm over-reacting  ), and it's not even in the list. There are some beauties on the list, but to say they are all sexy ?!? I don't think so. | ||

Miura is gorgeous - I'll go with that - should be number two though.. .....but now it's rant time: - I always thought the E-type SUCKED.... - Murcielago - COOL car - NOT SEXY - Lancia Delta Integrale - FABULOUS car - NOT SEXY - The Vanquish looks like a DB7 on steroids - I hate it - an OLD mans car. - The McLaren is supposed to be a supercar - it's DULL... - Pagani Zonda???? I'm sorry but it looks STUPID. - Alfa SZ? Puuurrrleeese? - Diablo ought to be higher - especially in 6.0 guise. - The 288GT should have won....... - Where is the Ferrari 550..? FOR FU*K SAKE? BIGGEST GRIPE: - Why wasn't the Ferrari Testarossa in there - for F**K sake - IT DEFINED AN ERA and we still find it pictured on Durex condom boxes - "Ribbed Arouser".... If anyone says it's not sexy then they're stupid... ALL IMO of course. Peace out homies.. | ||

I was pretty with most of it apart from the Murcielago being on it at all, let alone as high as #4, stealthy it may be but ughhh, maybe thats it, it was designed to be undetected by radar traps? #1, gotta agree with that, the Miura is just as good a shape as is possible to pen. Shame the majority modern young upstart designers don't share the same ethos if its looks right... | ||

One thing that is brought up is that Aston Martin Vanquish, man I like that car. I haven't liked a new car as much (almost) since the 355 came out. I just think it is one of the coolest looking cars ever for some reason. That said, I'm vehemently against British cars though so I don't know, maybe this one can break the rule. F1 shifting would be quite nice for an everyday car like this (still not a big fan on the Fcars). | ||

I can't believe in that list at all. Many of the cars figuring on the list is pretty ugly, the McLaren F1 is a fast and cool car, but pretty and sexy? Not likely, ugly design as hell. The e-type is old news, no one likes those anymore. The Countach is to squared, and do not have pretty formes modern to our times. I think the people who made that list, should think twice before making such a list again. Pretty useless | ||

That partical Citroen is pretty sexy. But I think the F50 is sexier than the F40, the F40 my be mean... but not as sexy as the F50... And I think the C5 Corvette should be up there too... not just the '63... and the 'Batmobile' Bimmer isn't that good looking either... As for the E-type, sure it's sexy... but NUMBER 2?! The 330 P4 should be #1 IMHO... | ||

Advanced Member Username: Bretm Post Number: 2980 Registered: 2-2001 |
I agree Rob with the Murci. Any list that includes Citroen, needless to say twice, I would have to consider void. Is the 288 really more sexy than the 308? The F40 is just about the coolest Ferrari ever, but is it really sexy at all? There are some good choices though so to be honest that Citroen comment was more just joking because they make it so easy. Let the flaming begin... | ||
