15th are you kidding me, those guys are out of their minds. In Automobile Magazine's list of the 100 Coolest Cars of All Time, the mid-year Corvette was NUMBER ONE. I'll stick with that.

I must violently disagree with my British cousins.
Anyone who thinks that ugly-*** Cirtoen belongs anywhere on that list should be drummed out of the list-making business.
P.S. Three weeks, Roy!

Actually, I was pleased they picked the XKE as #1 (have owned a couple of roadsters), but disappointed at the only Vette rankings was a C2 (no C1's or early C3's). I don't argue with no C4, C5, or C6s! GM "stying" lately (past 30-40 years
) is a misnomer at best.
Looks like someone really liked Italian vehicles!
And yes, the Daily Telegraph is a UK paper, so European vehicles will dominate their rankings.

Automobile Mag is not necessarily on our side
At least twice, she squealed,"I'm an Audi girl! I'm an Audi girl!"
I was sickened.

Article would have been more realistically titled..
"A British Reporters Personal List of Favorite Cars"...
The Citroen??? HA!! It's got the Funk Factor..
and their are some oddball looking cars I find attractive
because of their uniqueness ... I know where there are 3
Citroen sedans serving as mouse food in a barn outside of Dallas..
Guess I should go spend all kinds of money buying them
and begin the full restoration process in response to the article..
....... yeah, right..

The Citroen?
Might as well put the Trabant from Russia on the list.
I have to say that if there was a Lambo on the list, it wouldn't be the Muira.
Interesting how the Europeans see it.

At least they could have used a photograph of a real Cobra, rather than the kit car shown as #16.
While I'd agree with some of the cars chosen to be recognized, although not necessarily in the descending order shown, there are some real turkeys in their "top 20."

Citroen????
Actually some of the Ferrari's remind me of C3's in a way.
I can see the Aston's and Jags being ranked high on the list given it's creators, actually 15th in the world ( English ) market isn't all that bad but Citroen? What's next the Scion Xb (?) or Honda Element??

Trabant was East German (not Russia). As though that makes a differance.
Although it too was plastic bodied like the Vette!

What dolts those Brit judges are. TWO Aston Martins in the top 7. Yeah, that's likely. The 56-56 Vette is not included, but a Citroen is? With few exceptions, this looks like the entry list for a Taliban beauty contest.
