oh, there it is. my bad. but i still stand by my statement that these "LISTS" are typically arbitrary bull****. about the New Beetle, the writer says that the fenders are "gimmicky". what does that even mean? i think most would agree that there are a lot of cars that should have made the UGLY LIST ahead of some of those that made it.

well, that might be what killed it for you. but the true downfall of the Plymouth Prowler was the fact that everyone almost immediately got the sense that if you buy a Prowler, it's like telling the world that you are in fact a douche bag.

Your opinion is arbitrary bull****.

I'm sorry, but I cant co-sign your statement about the Enzo! If I had the dough I would buy one!

I just can't get into it -- just way too much non-cohesive-looking stuff going on with the design detail. I realize it was a case of form following function, but it just looks hideous to me. Wasn't too keen on the F50 either. F40, now that I liked.

I mean common for the price it was it was a choice of a V6 4 speed automatic prowler or a C5 corvette convertible with a real trunk 6-speed manual and a nice V-8 and real sports car performance.
Around here, nobody notices Corvettes anymore, even modified ones. But Prowlers get the looks.

Looks of disdain.

Not at all.. they're very dramatic and imposing looking cars in person. The high rear deck gives it a supercar-like cachet.

I agree with you to a certain extent, if they would do away with that ugly rear window, they'd have something worth spending all that money for.

Personally, I like the Ferrari 328 GTS, with a targa top from the mid to the late 1980s, especially the one that was used in the TV series Magnum PI.


The Testarossa was pretty sharp too.
