I think it's a rather fair list. After all, these cars are mostly probably driven by the owners themselves and not chauffeurs driving them. If it was a chauffeured limousine I would have placed the LS at least at second place.

Knowing Car and Driver, they thought it lacked the "sport feel", hence the last place.
