What in your opinion is the greatest car of all time?

In my opinion it has to be the E-Type Jaguar, it sybolised an era, awesome performance and a timeless design.

If it is just by looks, i love the Aston Martin's. Such a beautiful, exclusive cars. yet they manage to keep with the companies history.

Granted, it's not street legal... but that's whatever. Can't argue with 19k redlines, 7 speed trannies, 240mph, and the ability to pull g's in the corner like nothing we'll ever experience outside of performance aircraft. Hands down winner of raw performance, but it's not a fair comparison to anything else

My second favorite racecar. Audi R8. They can do 4g in the corners, and run 3 enduros with nothing but oil changes in between. I saw one in person at the SEMA convention in November... too bad I couldn't figure out a way to steal it.

Now, my favorite road car? I'll admit there's alot of reasons to disagree, but hey... I like italian designs, and it's just an opinion... Buggati EB110.

Quad-turbo V12, 650hp, 217mph, and it handles far more gently than you'd imagine. Better handling and much less body roll than a McClaren. Relatively tame interior. Overly complex, sure, but the entire package to me is just amazing.

The Austin Mini.

It firmly put the car into the hands and aspirations of the ordinary working man; and was the death knell to the motorcycle - sidecar combination which preceeded it.

Classless; it could be driven by all from prince to pauper; and became an icon of style in it's own right.

I think this picture captures the effortless style of the Trebant, its a real babe magnet too.

What about those mid-70's Pinto station wagons with the panel sides in the back and the bubble windows and the psychedelic paint jobs? Werent those just the coolest? If not that, then the AMC Gremlin. Eh? Eh?
