Some of us can never have too many Italian supercars. Okay, I don't actually have any, but it was difficult keeping others of GoodCarBadCar.net's 100 Favourite Cars list. With the introduction of cars 41-50 below, it's now evident that not a single Chrysler or Daewoo made the cut. Buick was also shut out. Ferrari, meanwhile, which managed to sell about 40,000 cars in the last decade, takes up 5% of the list. Sucks to not be an Italian supercar, eh?
FERRARI 456M: Isn't this what life's all about? Twelve cylinders, supreme bodywork, a manual transmission, one seat for the significant, and space for friends or stuff. And 186 miles per hour.
FERRARI 599 GTB FIORANO: The 599 is a hardcore exotic disguised by its status as the "typical" front-engined V12 Ferrari. It's just that, well, it's umm... crazy fast and really good-looking.
FIAT 500 (ORIGINAL): Power corrupts. So I guess the Cinquecento is absolutely uncorrupted. Dante Giacosa was a genius; ranking up there with Alec Issigonis and The Good Car Guy.
FORD SVT LIGHTNING (GEN2): Burnouts are cool. So are red pickups. Combine for satisfactory results.
FORD FOCUS RS (MK1): Sure you can't power out corners safely. But drivers of cars worth four times as much envy your exclusivity and serious sportscarship.
FORD MUSTANG ('64.5): If there are genuine 100 Favourite Cars lists without this beautiful, iconic, evocative car, the editor should be fired.
FORD MUSTANG GT ('10): The '05 car was on the right track. 2010 Mustangs are cleaned up, powered up, and slimmed down. New 'Stangs are just what Mustangs are supposed to be.
FORD TAURUS SHO ('89): SHOs were so subtle that car-loving kids of the early 90s had to inspect the rear bumper for the faintly indented badge. And then we wondered why Yamaha had to build an engine for freakin' Ford Motor Company.
HONDA CRX: Cheap fun shouldn't be so hard to execute. Economical and really quite quick for its day, the CRX was harshly handsome and loved by the whole of a generation.
