Car Magazine - "All time top tens 2003"
nicht unbedingt meine wahl......aber trotzdem lustig
Hasslichste Autos
- 1975 AMC Pacer (looks like an upturned fruitbowl)
- 1991 Alfa Romeo SZ (looks like it's falling apart, but sublime to drive)
- 2001 BMW 7er (if we were Jag dealers, we'd buy one ... and park it next to our XJ demonstration vehicle)
- 1961 Citroën Ami 6
- 1999 Pontiac Aztec
- 1999 Toyota Yaris (trendy to college kids, obviously paid for by pensioner parents)
- 2000 Morgan Aero 8 (must have been a struggle to making a '30s shape into something with vaguely tolerable aerodynamics)
- 1999 Hyundai Santa Fe
Most overhyped cars
- Renault Clio V6 (mid-engined V6 with reduced power and programmed understeer to keep it on the road - Clio Sport 172 is as quick and € 15.000 cheaper)
- Maserati 3200 GT (over-firm ride, uncomfortable seats and quality issues ... money is better spent elsewhere)
- Mercedes Vaneo (lifestyle Mercedes ? no, just an shamelessly overpriced ugly van with silly clutchless gearchange)
- Jaguar XJ220 (they promised a 4WD V12, but start of a recession brought us a V6 RWD)
- Honda NSX (Ferrari from Honda, a very good car but criminally overhyped)
- Bugatti Veyron (a car that is the answer to a quenstion no one asked ... can't do 200mph without changing the tyres ... McLaren did better)
- BMW 850i (overweight and overshadowed by the 6-Series)
Who would have thought ?
- Rover still going
- MINI being a big hit second time around
- no Mitsubishi in the 2003 WRC
- most succesful and innovative car companies in Europe are French
- new BMW 5-series not universally praised
- nw XJ looks like old XJ
- Ferrari Enzo = slower than McLaren F1
Most inappropriate car names
- Mitsubishi Carisma : has none
- VW Beetle 1.6 : more like a snail
- BMW 3-series Coupé : it isn't really a coupé
- Ford Fiesta : hardly a party
- Chrysler Neon : dim
- Honda Legend : in what sense ?
- Mercedes Vaneo Trend : call the fashion police
- Porsche Cayenne : the name "Cayenne" is appropriate, the othe one isn't
Mid-engine cars
- McLaren F1 : still unsurpassed
- Lamborghini Muira : first icon
- Porsche Boxter : best all-round
- Lamborghini Diablo VT : first 4WD
- Lotus Elise : purest
- Renault Clio V6 : scariest (the parts added up te less the whole)
Diesels
- VW Touareg V10
- BMW 330d touring
- Citroën C3 HDi 16v
- Ford Mondeo TDCi 130
- Audi A4 Cabrio 2.5 TDI Multitronic
- Audi A8 4.0 V8 TDi quattro
- Mercedes E320CDI
- Land Rover Defender Td5
- Renault Mégane 1.9dCi 120
- Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD
Driver's Cars
- Pagani Zonda (performance is electrifying and stupefying)
- Lotus Elise (so pure and accessible)
- Ferrari Enzo (top ... for the rich and the famous : ownership is by invitation only)
- Mitsu Lancer EVO (6, 7,
- Porsche 911 GT3 (precision engineering at its finest)
- MINI Cooper S (so good you can't help grinning)
- Mercedes SL 55 AMG (does it all from GT to sports car ... the exhaust tone is superb)
Glorious Failures
- DMC Delorean (promised to be quick and stylish...)
- Subaru SVX (great car, better than a XJS at that time, but let down by Subaru's "farmer's favourite" image)
- Bugatti EB110 (monster car, stylish, fast and luxurious ... now reborn in the shame of the Edonis)
- TVR Speed Twelve (so quick that they didn't release it, fearing what could happen if it made it to public roads)
- BMW Z8 (beautiful, powerful, a classic ... but James Bond's car of choice, underwhelming dynamics and overpriced)
- Suzuki X90 (no boot, no 4WD, no credibility, no point. But luckily, Barbie drives it)
Fastest cars
- Thrust SCC : 1227 km/h
- McLaren F1 : 386 km/h
- Pagani Zonda : 370 km/h
- Ferrari Enzo : 348 km/h
- Jaguar XJ220 : 347 km/h
- Lamborghini Murcielago : 328 km/h
- Ferrari F40 : 322 km/h
- Lamborghini Miura : 283 km/h (in 1963 !!!)
Dumb ideas
- BMW iDrive : you'll get used to it, they said ... not yet we haven't
- blaming the buyer : Audi unintented acceleration, Ford Explorer tyres, ...
- Suzuki X90
- VW-Porsche 914 : ugly, misbegotten hybrid (note to Cayenne buyers : history repeats itself)
Lights
- BMW 5-series front ("angel eyes")
- Lexus IS 200 (now widely imitated)
- BMW Z8
- Maserati 3200 GT rear (now been abandoned ... blame the Yanks)
- Alfa Romeo 156
Engine noise
- Ferrari 365 GT BB
- Chevy Big Block V8
- Porsche 911 (993) Carrera RS : last word in air-cooled non-turbo
- Lambo Murci : how come it's not illegal ?
- McLaren F1 : sound of power
- Subaru Impreza turbo with big exhaust pipe
- honda S2000 : maddest 4-pot growl
- Alfa GTA

Ich unterscheide zwischen "Rechtschreibefehlern" und "genereller Kleinschreibung".
Kleinschreibung find ich ok, Rechtschreibefehler sind mir (in unserer online community) egal. S'soll jede/r so schreiben, wie's halt geht. Der Spassfaktor zählt!
Von Journalisten erwarte ich hingegen, dass sie fehlerfrei schreiben können.
Übrigens, ich finde den "Santa Fe" gar nicht so übel!
