This is an odd list. What is a cool car? I don't think the Subaru SVX was cool at all. No NSX? You mean the SVX is cooler than the NSX? Um no. There are very few Japanese cars on the list, and this is what they pick the SVX

VW bus? Is this the coolest or the gayest list?

Not too many new cars on the list. I do like the RR Phantom

^^Agreed.

McLaren F1 should have been an easy number one.
