The list was produced to celebrate 20 years of the Top Gear magazine. The launch of the NSX was 1990 and this pre-dates the magazine, hence why it is not on the list.

I get the mag on subscription and there is some interesting stuff included .... ever wonder what happened to the Mazda Furai?

It's just the look of the Multipla - I've always referred to it as the Fiat Ugly. Whoever designed it out to be shot. As for being in this list, you cannot be serious!

Maybe not from the inside, but spare a thought for all the people that now have retina damage from looking at it

Hardly the tagline you'd expect from one of the 'best 50 cars of the last 20 years' though is it?

And no Supra or R34 Skyline, large pinch of salt to be taken with this list.

That hurts my brain. If they were available to buy new in the last 20 years (and they were), it should be eligible.

Theres also a prius in there and one of those shit looking audi square things.
Prius but no Insight? Obviously compiled by the intern girl and not anyone who lives and breathes cars.
Insight? the monstrosity with the covered rear wheels?


I'd rather chop my own legs off with a rusty spoon and crawl than drive that.
