    Life names the sexiest cars of 2005

    "Bold lines, striking angles, eye-caching curves.
    Design that drives like a dream- with unmatched performance.
    Six can't-miss machines for 2005"

    Chevrolet Corvette
    Chrysler 3000
    Ford Mustang
    Maserati Quattroporte
    Toyota Scion XB
    Mini Cooper convertable

    If I didn't know better, I'd think they were nominating best bread-boxes.
    (vette & Maserati the exceptions)
    'scuze me while I cough up a furball. Yuck!

    Given the list, I'm frankly astonished they would even think to put the Quattroporte on it. It seems to be a list of boring practical cars that they're trying to make people feel better about buying so many of. Either that or a list of cars to look for in a common rental-car fleet.

    So, the Q-porte looks very, very out of place on that list, since it's considerably more unusual and hard to come by than any of the others. The Corvette looks a bit out of place as well, but I could see them throwing it in as a way of trying to make the list look like it actually has some fun on it. You know, try to shine a favorable light on the other cars by mentioning a good car everyone's pretty familiar with. I guess if there's a reason the Q-Porte is on the list, I'd have to say it was to put an obscure car with a good name on the list, too.

    Here's a new title I could suggest for the list: Four cars we want to sell you and two cars to trick you into it! Do people fall for this ****?

    Yep, life.

    And I agree. Cars they are trying to make you feel good about buying.

    How the Hell did the Scion XB get on the same list as a Maserati and Vette? The mas. and vette may not be the sexiest cars (sure are sexy though) but honestly how do you compare a refridgerator to victoria's secret lingerie?

    if you are going to put a Scion xB on the list, you might as well add the Honda element...
    the nerve of putting in a lunch box on the list...unheard of!! haha

    at least it's a very and i mean very practical car with great gas mileage...but scion being sexy??? hmmmmm i'm not too sure about that, but it sure does have a look to it.

    maybe they did not title it good.
    i do not think sicon is sexy, but i think it's damn interesting/cool looking, more than the rest of the list except the QP.
