Who said it was? Bueller?

I don't know how 'early' is early but here's an Aero from 93, which is now 23 years old.

http://www.edmunds.com/saab/9000/1993/aero/used/

Here's the same year 900 turbo.

http://www.edmunds.com/saab/900/1993...eatures-specs/

From 90-98 so overlapping the Aero production which was a superior car from the marque. I suspect the writer of the article didn't know about the Aero as it was a limited production, and limited delivery to the US. So, he mistakenly picked the 900 turbo due to lack of vigilance in investigation.

Plenty of other stuff to put on the list, I just advised that the Saab they chose wasn't the 'classiest' of the marque for the time frame.

The only car I don't "get" at all on the list is the '68 Stang. Anyone else have a particular problem with that pick? A '65 coupe or '69 Fastback (Mach 1, Boss) would make more sense.

Also, of all the Miura's in the world, they choose the pic of the one without the iconic pop up headlights, and no "eyelash" vents?

50 of the Most Stylish Cars of All Time

That's a fun list.

I almost bought a E-type in boxes once. I'd have it together by now...and be #1!

What I liked about the 900 was the outer fitting door. Kept the pants clean in the winter.

Lots of neat stuff about the 900, almost bought one ended up with a Volvo 740.

As Hacker pointed out, I made a mistake, it was stylish vs classy, although often used together, and generally found together, they are not synonyms. Many of these cars can certainly be said to have defined a style and are therefore Stylish, however that would put into question why the 3 very similar Mopar listings.

What I took form the list was a possible uptick in 928 appreciation, it has been my experience that as the orphan step child the 928 is often left off of these type of lists, especially when the 911 appears earlier.

Steve McQueen's favorite Mustang was a '68?

#4 should actually be that 275 GTB4 I see in the #39 spot. This is crap. Also where are the 512 BB and 250 GTO?

If they were going to list the Mustang and show a 68 it should have been the fastback (that's what McQueen drove in Bullitt, same with the XKE, the 69 was already changed to adhere to safety standards, a 67 E would have been the styling that Enzo was speaking of not that compromised abomination.
Yes at least the 928 made the list although it should have been the Original Body

Looks like a list just thrown together. Pontiac Judge ? No Maserati Ghibli or
deTomaso Mangusta ? Plus lots of better choices than the ones they came up with

ATB - I thought the GT500 was a 1967 in the remake. Wasn't it also a 1973 Mach 1 in the original movie?

Well in that case, back to my original position on the subject.

If that list is in proper chronological order man did they get most of them wrong. At least in my opinion.
