In Europe such vehicles like the Fiesta RS can be considered "muscle cars".

Of course Lotus and Jaguar lol. Hot hatch shouldn't even be it's own category.

I'm surprised, I thought Top Gear hated the Prius.
Glad to see it there though.

I have to say I have been enjoying posting more videos. Articles are boring in comparison

The Euro Focus RS will rival an R32 or an S2000 at Willow Springs, trust me.
This isn't the same focus you see at the rental lot guys.
Sexy seats!

I've got to admit the UK gets some nice cars.
Not to mention Australia's Muscle cars with V8's.

300 HP in a FWD car that size is no joke....although I suspect it may be torque-limited in the lower gears to control the torque steer.

Interesting list. I am not sure how something as expensive and exotic as the 458 wins the overall "Car of the Year" spot but to each his own.

Yes, just a subjective list, but at least it's entertaining.
