Default RE: Sport Compact cars project srt-4

Has anyone read the issue yet. Im a little upset. #2 car of the top 100 BEST sport compact cars of all time. I will quote "1992-1995 Honda Civic - Not the quickest, best handling, or even best looking sport compact......... (WTF??? They rated this car #2? I'll go on.) but definitely the most popular. Easy to make fast this civic was the standard platform upon which sport compact phnonenon was built. This car has been butchered more ways then prime rib."

Maybe its just me but the word "Best" when it comes to cars has nothing to do with how popular it was. As far as being the god fathers of the sport compact phnonenon, I think not honda. I think honda just made a reliable car. Parents like to buy their kids "reliable cars" Kids like to fix up anything they own so that fired the whole raced out civic era. The word "Best" to me means alot of things to me: handling, power, features etc... When you to the store and buy anything you may say "give me your best (fill in the blank with item). They will get you the best item based on performance of the product. Not by how popular it is. Grrrrr IMO SRT4 should have been in the top 3 its listed #16 when i think sport compact 3 cars come to mind SRT4 WRX & EVO maybe its just because I jumped in the game. Perhaps I understand you cant base the 100 best of all time just on the last 3-4 years But EVO is #1 and WRX is #3 SRT is #16? Just two higher the the Eclipse GTX come on. The only thing the SRT4 lacks is AWD I think their a little agaisnt dodge all they had to say about the SRT4 is: "Its still a shock that this turbo charged twerp is a dodge".....

Ok enough enough. Maybe Im ignorant. Maybe I have no clue what Im talking about. All i know is that this kinda pissed me off. So Now its known how I feel and i have vented it. AHHHHHH I hope this didnt upset anyone. I would love to hear your thoughts on this, and please if im wrong put me in my place.....
