Sexiest Car For "Country Living": Dodge Ram Power Wagon
Base Price: $37,775

" Whether you’re a proud redneck or simply aspire to be one, you need the right gear. In this case, that means a large, American-made pickup truck with enough room for dogs, guns and fishing poles, and enough power to yank a stranded city-slicker’s car out of the creek. The ultimate road warrior: the 345-hp Power Wagon, which has a 12,000-pound winch, 33-inch tires and long-travel shock absorbers."

Did Forbes really suggest a truck if one aspires to be a redneck? Who is the editor of this magazine? Dont large magazines have copy editors? Yikes...

Of that group, IMO there is only one car that DOES belong on that list....the Lamborghini. The others IMO are all too ugly, too macho, too eccentric, or too limo-like to really be called '"sexy ".

( yes..I know......on a personal level, I don't believe in stereotypes myself, but I'm just trying to look at this group as many other people would see it ).

Lambo is pretty macho :-).

I dont think there are beautiful cars left anymore... Modern cars have a lot of contrasting shapes and I would be hard press to call something beautiful from every angle...

The Lambo may be macho but, like many Ferraris, it is also curvaceous and seducting.

No arguements with you there on the physical unattractiveness of many modern vehicles. Some that I find especially ugly are the Scion xB, Pontiac Aztek, 1995-2000 Ford Taurus / Mercury Sable, Dodge Hornet concept, Nissan Armada / Infiniti QX56, Toyota Echo, Toyota Yaris ( hatchback ), and almost ANYTHING designed by Renault.
