I'm not shocked at all because that is one sexy practical beast. I'm stunned the Murci isn't up there.

How could the super sexy F430 not up there? To my eyes Enzo is an ugly car.

The Aston martin name is more popular than "bugatti". It's not a surprise to me.

I've been seeing a lot of DB9's around Irvine lately. Probably like one every day on the way to school. They are amazing.

Why the #$#@ would the LS600hL be on there? I mean, it's a nice car but who dreams of driving a hybrid? I don't know about you, but the last thing I'm concerned about in my dreams is gas mileage

It doesn't make any sense that the R8 is higher than the Gallardo and the Murcielago isn't even on there

Because they epitomize "sexiness, gorgeousness, and finesse," while still providing functionality, performance, and presence. They're the type of cars that people can see themselves driving everyday, not just in a race track.

The Veyron has horsepower and speed, but it looks like a computer mouse.



And where the Hell is the Koenigsegg CC supercar?!?
