I'll assume that's in order from first to tenth? Why is the Focus and Mazda 6 ahead of the Z??? Bleh.

They just have a top10 - i've never known it to be in a specific order. They each have their own merits.... you'll notice the ford feces above the Porsche Boxter on the previous list. 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX Top10.... all 6 years.

Matt,

C&D Ten Best is not the Top Ten. So those car are not in any order, but each a winner in their class/category. There are 10 classes/categories (sedan, coupe, sport coupe, sport car, etc. and each of those vehicle type separate again by price range). Judging from the past, the 350Z must win the 30K's price range sport car class. The Focus must win the budget 2 box hatchback car class. Hope this help.

makes sense, tho I think S2000 is a hell of alot better then the RSX, however by the category rule it was S2000 or 350Z... eh I dont want to start an arguement; Im just saying they had to choose the S2000 over the Z and the RSX.

as for order, thats simple; same as always, alphabetical.
