Then again, if all three companies that built the Cord 810 could fail within 4 years of each other, anything's possible.

I came up with this Lambo concept.
Allegro means quick or fast in latin I think, maybe italian. I know it from music.
Front mounted engine. successor to the lambo 400GT.
I looked and saw the back and roof like the old mercialago roadster, a modifid fornt estoque, and modified headlights of the new chevy volt.
I like it though.
It has a real prescence, especially with the LED strips in the headlights.

The bullfighting legacy
The crest of the company, a bull, was taken from Lamborghini's zodiac sign, Taurus. The Miura was named after a breeder of fighting bulls, Don Eduardo Miura. Islero was named after a Miura bull that killed famed matador Manolete (real name Manuel Laureano Rodriguez y Sanchez) on August 28, 1947. Espada means "sword", the weapon of the matador. It is also used colloquially for the matadors themselves as they are the swordsmen that can be seen on old bullfight posters. The name Lamborghini Jarama had an interesting double meaning: Jarama is an area renowned both for bullfighting and for its motor racing circuit.
It is not known if the Countach, a verbal equivalent to a wolf whistle in Italian, the last car to be developed under Lamborghini's ownership, was intended to break this tradition, as the name has no basis in bullfighting. Later owners of the company reverted to this tradition, namely with the Diablo (a famous bull), the Murciélago (after Murciélago a famous bull that contributed to the Miura breed) and the Gallardo (a caste of bull that is an element of the Miura breed).

Like the song "Burn by Deep Purple" is mostly allegro style tempo.
The Austin Allegro should have been called the Austin Adagissimo. Adagissimo means very slow music tempo style. The song "Let Me Out by Ben's Brother" is mostly in the Adagissimo tempo style.
I really lik music, I really hate the austin allgro.
At least the austin makes a good car to blow up with explosives.

I like your idea of blowing Austin Allegro's up,should have been done a long time ago.

People would have totally bought that up, too. "Hmm... Austin Larghissimo. Sounds Italian." Change 'bpm' to 'mph' and you've got it.

Nice drawing btw.

And I'm almost positive previous G have made the list before, so the should not be the first time on the list. IF its because of the "extensive changes" then the 3 and the Accord should not be counted the way they have.
And how is the BMW 3-series making the list a record-breaking 18 times when the Accord made it 23 times?

I know! I'll take a Honda Fit. Because it can hold more bags of potato snacks in its trunk than any of the others.

Um, what about PORK based snacks?
You self righteous Anti- Porkites really get under my skin.

No, you really fry my ass. To a crisp.
I'm so freakin' crispy right now I gotta down a shot and walk outside and pee on my lemon tree just to cool off.
Don't you know that POTATOES ARE VEGETABLES?
Pork fat rules, vegetarian snacks come in.....OK, a distant second.
But only because I like you.
Oh yeah. C&D is so in the tank for BMDubya, if Enzo Ferrari came back to life and designed and built a car that could sell for under $40 grand, they would say that it was almost as good as the Bavarian Accords.

Just another way for the buff-books to score the crumbs of advertising dollars left after the financeapocalypse.
At least they were smarter than Motor Trend. With a list of 10, they can shovel in 10x as much add money!

They continue to bypass the better performing Solstice for the MX5.

The GXP Turbo is a real hoot, however. I took a boot in one and said, "Mazda what?".
