Re: EVO magazine ranking list of iconic cars

on a swedish board someone created a thread and told people to go vote for the Koengisegg. I guess it didnt help much

Re: EVO magazine ranking list of iconic cars

I've been looking the list over.. and my comments

#7 - NSX-R: I certainly can understand the NSX being so low, sure it never had the most power but it's a captivating driving machine. Great looking too

#31 - Miura: I would have thought it dropped to at least 15.. but I guess not

#35 - 993 Turbo

Re: EVO magazine ranking list of iconic cars

It would be entertaining to see how different this list would look if it were compiled by an American publication...

Also, while I like what I see on this list, I'm not sure (as some have already mentioned) that new cars can be considered iconic, yet. They may well be considered icons in the future, but it seems premature to list them as such, now.

If you've read Evo magazine, they (and their readers) clearly place an emphasis on the driving experience and performance. And this is not just about straight line speed. No, they value the whole package, including handling, driver involvement, and the "thrill" or fun of driving. So far, very few (if any) MB cars ever fulfill all of those criteria very well. Most AMG cars they have reviewed get 4 stars out of 5
