100 FAVOURITE CARS - PART X

Now that we've come to the final installment of The Good Car Guy's 100 Favourite Cars, you've become accustomed to unique choices, an emphasis on character and class rather than fame or popularity. This trend continues in cars 91-100 below. A couple examples never made their way to North America. Others did so, but did so a very long time ago. Regardless, these ten vehicles round out the 100 cars GoodCarBadCar Towers should most definitely house in the parking garage beneath. Donations will be accepted. Owners may hand over the keys at their leisure.



SUZUKI CAPPUCINO: Why aren't tiny little roadsters with teeny-tiny little engines and itsy-bitsy pricetags commonplace? Probably 'cause they're slow. Cappucinos are still cool.
TOYOTA 2000GT: No automaker can follow up such a beautiful design. Unfortunately for Toyota, their most beautiful car was finished half a century ago and they haven't done anything half as good since.
TOYOTA SUPRA (MKIV): As the end-of-an-era sort of car, the fourth-gen Supra also marks the end of an era when manufacturers stuck gigantic wings on the trunk at the factory, and is also so politically incorrect in Toyota culture that nothing like it has come along since.
TVR TUSCAN ('99): Don't try this at home. Nobody but TVR could design a car with so much weirdness and so much danger in its dynamics and still find buyers. Okay, well actually TVR isn't finding any buyers anymore but....
VOLKSWAGEN GTI (MK1): Revolutionizing performance cars isn't an easy trick to pull out of the hat. Light weight and lift-off oversteer were helpful generals in Commander GTI's army.
VOLKSWAGEN TYPE 1 BEETLE: Greatness doesn't come from being cute. The Beetle was intelligently designed, priced for huge volume, and surprisingly accomplished on the road. And cute.
VOLKSWAGEN TYPE 2 BUS: Count yourself lucky (or unlucky) if you've found an example without marijuana under the carpet. The Bus wasn't just special k special for inebriated folk, it's layout is genius and its style iconic.
VOLVO AMAZON P122S: Curious details abound, but what drew people to the P122S originally was its toughness and safety advances like three-point seatbelts. Now it just looks like something beautiful eccentrics should drive.
VOLVO 850 TURBO WAGON: At the time 222 horsepower seemed utterly untamable. And in a staid boxy Volvo, at that. It wasn't the dynamic equal of its counterparts but it sure was a blast.
VOLVO C30: Since the 3CC concept of 2004, a curvaceous rear window has been at the top of my best window shapes list. The C30 has made it mainstream but not routine.
