Repost, look 3 threads behind this one!

I never knew a BMW 650I coupe was a sports car...

 

Darn LOL missed it.

 

2 seater.

 

It seats 4.

 

so where are the lunch box evos and stis, or the "mighty" srt-4s

 

I think the term Sports Car is being used pretty loosely these days.. a guy I work with called his 2001 Eclipse a sports car and I about fell out. Check out Yahoo's list of "sports cars"...

$42,000 for the 350Z. I hate it when they try to skew the Z's price tag. I would never have bought the Z if I saw the $42K price tag. Good thing I did some research and got mine (new) for $26,000.

 

Quit entertaining reposts.

 

Pretty rediculous. That is is just about the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. The elise dead last? It's one of the best handling cars in the world, and is much better then 80% of those cars listed. Same with the Viper.

What I don't get is how the Z06 got #2, yet the Viper got #13 when they both are great looking cars with nearly the same performance. Baffles the mind.

 

Well, there could be other factors in their ranking other then looks and performance. They could have put an overall ranking on bang for buck, conviences, reliabilty, parts available, maintenence cost, practicality, etc.

This is a ranking of consumer reports, not a ranking of the best super cars.

 

Hmm, never really cared what CR has said in the past but for this they get a really sweet "high five"!!

 

the z's way better then the boxster in my opinion

 

i guess im not crazy then, because everytime i walk out to my car i still look at my baby in awe as if i've never seen it before. I really hope they do a good job with the next gen z so we can keep putting other cars to shame.

 

+1 I couldn't have "reposted" that any better. Very true though.

 

The Boxster a.k.a. POS shouldn't be anywhere near top 20.

STIs and Evos are 4-door family cars (that I wouldn't mind having), that is why its not there.

Yes, the Elise should be in the top 5

 

+1...my girlfriend gets mad everytime she catches me too

 

the Z is relatively low maintainence and pretty reliable comparing to the other cars on the list. Making the CR list is a no brainer.

 

I've gotten real good at walking backwards after I park my ZR. Of course my wife helps guide me.
