Car and Driver all the way, baby. Been a reader and subscriber for more than 20 years. That's the best automotive magazine out there.

Also, I can't believe the VW Beetle is not on that list.

The NSX debuted so much major technology. It's also one of the most under estimated vehicles ever made. I'm glad to see it make the list :thumbup: .

While I think it's a fantastic vehicle, I don't see how the Boxter made this list. Any ideas?

I guess you're right. It debuted soon after WWII, but it was still being made -- in Mexico, I believe -- until just a few years ago.

It's the "attainable" Porsche.

Acura NSX - OK (popular Japanese supercar)
BMW M3 - OK
BMW M5 - OK
Chevrolet Corvette C6Z06 - OK
Chrysler 300C - OK (heritage thing)
Chrysler Minivan - OK (cultural thing)
Ferrari F40 - OK (in like 10 movies)
Ferrari F430 - NO WAY (did they even make a single production car?)
Honda Accord - OK (family best seller)
Honda Civic - OK (with some many on the road with fartcans, who can forget?)
Jeep Cherokee - NO WAY (legendary as it may be, it's the Grand Cherokee that should be here)
Lexus LS400 - NO WAY (this achieved nothing that the Germans hadn't already done)
Mazda Miata - OK (cheap RWD roadster, I can buy that)
Mini Cooper S - OK (re-invention of a classic)
Mercedes-Benz 300E - NO WAY (I don't see the significance here)
Porsche Boxster - NO WAY (if we must have any squashed-boat-like creatures, at least let it be their new Pepper, for breaking tradition)
Nissan 300ZX Turbo - OK
Porsche 911 - NO WAY (this thing has been around for very long, I don't see what special event put it here)
Volkswagen GTI - OK (affordable high quality fast hatchback with a VR6)
Subaru Imprezza WRX - OK (again, affordable plastic, ugly creation that can however do 5 second runs to 60)
