Nissan Skyline/Infiniti G35 - I nearly singlehandedly ressurrected Nissan from the dead
Toyota Prius - though more of a political statement for environmentalists than anything, it definitely carried the banner for hybrid technology
Nissan GTR, Corvette C6 Z06 and the 2G Cadillac CTS-V - performance of an exotic car but within financial reach of MUCH of the masses.
Aston Martin V12 Vantage - quite simply, the most awesome looking coupe ever created

 

For me:

- Aston Martin V8 Vantage
- Audi R8
- Corvette ZR1
- Cadillac CTS
- BMW 3-Series
- Honda s2000
- Toyota Prius
- Ariel Atom
- Subaru WRX
- Nissan GT-R

 

Supercar/Hypercar: Veyron
Sportscar: Corvette ZR-1
Luxury Sedan: Hyundai Genesis
Sport Sedan: E92 M3
Roadster: S2k
GT Coupe: G35S
Sexiest: DBS
Ugliest: Pontiac Aztek
Sexiest but most unreliable POS: Toss up between RR Sport and E46 M3 (With convertible top. with SMG transmission. with female driver. Warranty: expired. Wallet: empty.)

 

Back again?
If it's gonna end up being either an icon OR company saving, they better wise up and get away from the 40 Grand prices of all the test cars I've seen so far.....

 

That's the SHO, baby. Twin turbo V6 and 385 GTFO of my way horsepower.

 

I'm sure there are more I could think of, but here are some of the first that come to mind (no particular order)


MINI
2 gen CTS-V
GTR
ZR1
Audi in general (after it's most recent redesign of it's line)
E92 M3
Prius
R8


Each one for their own reason.

 

Here is Autoblog's top 10 forward-thinking cars of the decade: http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/top-...-the-decade/#2




@ FX...!

 

I agree with whoever said it onthe last page, the GT-R is singlehandedly the top car o th decade. It's the first GT-R ever in the states and man did it make a big impact. I've never seen so much respect, praise and doubt for just one car.

 

After a few days of thinking, here's my list, in no particular order.

S2000
2G CTS-V
Prius
The original new Mini
2G Acura RL (you have to own one to understand the appeal as it is the best Honda ever built. Really.)
Nissan GT-R
C6 Corvette ZR1
Porsche Boxster
Tesla Roadster

 

WRX has to be on the list. NASIOC is on of the biggest car boards (fifth according to big boards). Think about it. Subaru, a tiny niche brand has a board that is only surpassed by VW (VW Vortex), GM (Covette), and Honda (Honda tech and Club RSX). It had a huge cultural impact in the US. It is the video game car come to life (almost a decade before the GTR).

Also, in the US, it is a car of the decade--a 2000's car.
