Who dislikes hatchbacks.

I&#8217;ve driven all kinds of cars in a lot of different countries, but that&#8217;s not the same thing as being a local and understanding why, for example, a Citroen DS should make the list while a Ciroen BX should not.  Why a Lancia Stratos is cool but a Lancia Delta is just a rebadged Fiat.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s your chance:  I&#8217;m working on a list of the ten coolest cars of all time: tell me five cars your country (or hell, your continent) has produced and why thet&#8217;re cool.  If I agree, they&#8217;ll make the list; if I don&#8217;t, you can flame me when the list is published for ignoring your suggestion.  A few words about each would be good, too, so I don&#8217;t have to try and figure out what the hell a Mosley-Nagant-Drophead-Shooting-Brake with a steam injected Otto cycle foursquare motor is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wxZogqg-vn8430tyhsJl3ZrvlnY\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wxZogqg-vn8430tyhsJl3ZrvlnY\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wxZogqg-vn8430tyhsJl3ZrvlnY\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/wxZogqg-vn8430tyhsJl3ZrvlnY\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porsche 550 Spyder: is there a cooler car?
