100 FAVOURITE CARS - PART II

The introduction has already been made. Without pouring over the details or the process again, it should be made clear that certain vehicles in Part II (cars 11-20) and succeeding postings of The Good Car Guy's 100 Favourite Cars are clarified with code names or model years. That wasn't necessary in Part 1 and will remain unnecessary for all those vehicles for which every example and every model year was formed with greatness; the kind of greatness meriting admittance into The Good Car Guy's 100 Favourite Cars. Certain car names have lent their badges to some terrible and terrific models. GoodCarBadCar.net accounts for this fact. Now it's time to check out cars 11-20 in The Good Car Guy's 100 Favourite Cars.



ASTON MARTIN DB9: Even I complain that it looks too much like other Astons. But other Astons look better than anything else.
AUDI 5000 TURBO QUATTRO: I grew up buckled in the back seat of red and beige Audis. It's hard to lose that loyalty.
AUDI RS4 AVANT (B7): Stupendously fast wagons are even more incredible when pushed along by high-revving V8s found underneath a strong and handsome body.
AUDI RS6: Sedan or wagon, the RS6's phenomenal engines are always far more powerful than ridiculous and the wheelarches far more bulged than bulging.
AUDI TT: The first pictures did nothing for me - the first real-life example sent me over the moon.
BENTLEY ARNAGE: Learning that Wayne Gretzky was a Bentley fan helped me along, but the Arnage's classic lines - drawn by designers who ignored aerodynamicists - shout out the words, "A quarter-million dollars".
BENTLEY S1 CONTINENTAL FASTBACK COUPE: It suits the dream I've only daydreamed of The Good Car Girl and me driving the Cote d'Azure in 1959.
BMW 135I COUPE: I was the only fan of the BMW X1 concept. The 135i Coupe is a successful reinterpretation of that odd duck.
BMW 2002: Walk around an old 2002 and I'd be surprised if you didn't speak more quietly and stand on your tiptoes just a little; exactly like it does.
BMW 5-SERIES TOURING (E39): If only humans could force themselves to be as practical, athletic, and good-looking all at once, all the time.
