Lists. Readers love 'em, so everyone’s got one. (Heck, our show is even called The List.) And this is the Playboy list, packed with two-seat sports cars, muscle cars, obvious choices and even the original Volkswagen Beetle.
Before we get to the full 25, however, hear out our view. While you can always register your personal displeasure when, say, the MG TC (14) or Chrysler 300 (#19) gets included, but not a single Alfa Romeo or classic Mopar muscle machine makes the cut, you should judge a list such as this based more on how it reflects the personality of the publication. Which is why “25 Greatest Rides” feels so, well, generic.
While we’re not suggesting that every one of the Playboy cars should be sporting Dagmars or have fully reclining seats like Nash models of the early '50s, this list just seems a little light on the sex. Not that the Ferrari GTO (#1) and Jaguar E-Type (#4) aren’t voluptuous enough to act as stand-ins for the Playmate of the Month, but cars like the BMW 2002 (24) and Pontiac GTO (20), though legitimate performance cars, aren’t likely to inspire any backseat antics anytime soon.
Scroll down to read the full press release and then tell us in the comments which cars you think should get excised from the list, and what you’d replace them with.Continue reading Playboy counts down its 25 Greatest Cars of All Time
