I like the article except for one thing how can they compare a Z to the most worthless car on the planet a MUSTANG and a UGLY one at that. I was thumbs up except for that part. I can't for the life of me figure out why someone would buy that pile of junk. Good find though

I agree...but the worthless & ugly Mustang is probably the "most popular". They sell more?

its funny, i think that list is misleading as it cites clicks on the website, notice how the "all new" and totally redesigned cars fininshed ahead...
i think its more about people just wanting to see what the new models are like and specs. not necissarily the most popular..

Wow, the RX-8 is up there... I'd have put the S2K before the 8, IMO at least.

It's not really "most popular sports car" -rather...
This list of the ten most popular sports cars on MSN Autos is based on visits to the site's vehicle research pages during calendar year 2004.
It's only showing which section of their site got the most "visits" during 2004.

Alright I see what your saying Ford still has some game, but my god what were they thinking putting that car on a list of the worlds coolest SUPERCARS.
A ford mustang hardly can be categorized as a muscle car let alone a SUPER CAR.
Unless Steve Mcqueen is driving I'll never let one catch me.

I think politics are defenitly involved on this one.
As for the latest greatest new models how many commercials of the mustang have you seen and how many Zmercials have you seen. The Z wasn't given a fair chance. Which I like alot there aren't as many around town at least not here anyway. Thank God for me not purchasing the STI.

On a lighter note it was a internett poll on msn an im sure they were the most sought after cars this year. goes to show what a little advertising can do.

exactly....this is why i'd prefer the S2000 NOT to be on this list....i want S2000's to not be researched, not sell well, and be discontinued....the less of em on the road the better

so what would you say the article means?

that more people lust over a mustang than an enzo or murcielago?

or does it mean more people are interested in the mustang than any car cause that's what they can afford?

the s2000 isn't on that list because it's already 5 years old...

plus, as mentioned earlier in the thread, this is a list of the most visited car pages on msn autos... not the best, attractive, nicest etc... there's no grading criteria beside the number of hits on their website

must suck knowing that every punk kid with a civic is now trading it in for a used S2K.
