I'm not one for top 100 lists, especially from Top Gear [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img] but I can't disagree with the DB5 coming top, or the GT, SL and Z1 all making the top 10.

RS6 - no. 4 (with no comments attached)
RS2 - no. 56 ("It accelerated to 30mph faster than a McLaren F1. Nowadays, super-fast Audi estates are ten-a-penny, but this was where it all started. It was just such a silly car at a time when there weren't nearly enough silly cars to go round. Normally I don't care about colour - as long as there are lots of them on my shirts - but the RS2 came in the most phenomenal electric blue.")

RS4 - nowhere!

And oh yeah, Remault Kangoo at no. 31 [img]images/graemlins/062802drink_prv.gif[/img]

Blimey - you mean to say I drive a car that is officially considered to be cool?! [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img] Glad to see the RS2 given some recognition - particularly in the coolest colour. And seeing the quote and the piccie on the Top Gear site has made my day.

Just a shame that the RS4 doesn't get some recognition too. I wouldn't have had the RS6 above the RS2 and RS4 in coolness terms.

Let's not forget the humble (and often much maligned) Audi A2 at 96
Audi A2
========================================================
If Apple Computers, purveyors of exquisite lumps of alloy and acrylic which crunch numbers faster and more elegantly than any anonymous shitbox running Windows, were to build a car it would build the A2. It's aluminium, it's packaged more neatly than anything else its size and it has a uniquely efficient engine. And just like the slim, titanium Apple G4s this page is being produced on, it costs far too much. Michael Harvey

===========================================================
And the Audi Quattro Sport at number 74 (no comments)

You forgot to mention the E2 Quattro - No 1 rally car... [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img] (although I regret to say I'm old enough to think that the MK 2 Escort [img]images/graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] should be up there...!)
