May issue of Car magazine votes the VW Microbus number 90 out of the worlds 100 coolest cars of all time. The Kombi beat such classics as the Lamborghini LM002, and the Nissan S-Cargo. It was pipped at the post by the Subaru SVX and the Ford Torino (Starsky and Hutch's car). All a bit sad really.

Where did the Beetle & Karmann place? What about 356?

550 Spyder scored 20th posi, and KG 49th. Bug didn't score a mention. Some people have no taste.

Was it a UK poll? If so, where did the Golf or GTI come?

Mk 1 GTi scored 83rd position just beating the Nissan Skyline GT-R34.

Robo,
How are you mate?
300 SL Gullwing came first, Ferrari Enzo 2nd and Lambo Miura 3rd. English publication though...bit wacky.

Surprised it was that low... I guess there are still too many over there, and so they arent considered hard to come by yet!!! Such a shame we never got any!!! Good to see three dubs in the top 100!!! Go team!!!

Would have thought the Mk1 GTi be a little higher, being the first car to have the nomeclature and being such a cult car...i suppose the Mini rated a mention, did the Porsche 911 RS Carrera get in?

Hey Cruzin, hows your golf? You should link up with us VWVortex guys and come on a GTG.... We only break a couple of road rules...:thumb
