Default Top Gear magazine: 20th anniversary special!

http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/Top...ar.com%2Fuk%2F

So in their latest vote, here are their top 10 cars in their past 20 years

1. Bugatti Veyron (2005)
2. VW Golf GTI (2005)
3. Rolls-Royce Phantom (2003)
4. Ferrari 458 (2009)
5. Porsche Boxster (1996)
6. BMW 320d (1999)
7. Ford Focus (1998)
8. Porsche 911 (1993)
9. Renault Clio Williams (1993)
10. Lexus LFA (2010)

Just thought this is more positive news to be posted

On the other hand, some sad news...



Forgive us, for we have sinned. Top Gear was responsible for the untimely demise in 2008 of the quite remarkable Mazda Furai Concept, and we're very, very sorry. Find out how (if that picture hasn't clued you in...) in our bumper anniversary issue, and try not to hate us too much.

To lighten the mood, we also recount some of our most epic road trips, take a trip down memory lane with a look at our first ever - rather beige - issue, list some of Jeremy's most memorable musings, and speak to some loyal readers who, however inadvisably, had themselves a few TopGear adventures all of their own.

Read more in our 20th anniversary special feature this month.

This was that poll a while back, correct? People really think the focus and a vw golf are better cars than the LFA?

well to some extent, safety, utility, efficiency have to come into play too to consider a great car. Granted this is Top Gear so most of the time like other media it's about performance. It's a decent list though that ranges from little to a lot of cash

It is a new poll and readers voted for it so it is definitely very polarizing. I am sure Top Gear itself would rank the LFA in the top 5 atleast considering how many praises are dished out for the LFA by everyone at Top Gear.

It will ring in my ears forever....." The LFA is the best car I have ever driven". Thats tells a lot when the man who has literally driven everything on the road says its the best.

Also, "Stig says, this [Ferrari F12] is the only car in the world that holds a candle to the Lexus LFA"
