Now I really want to drive one of those Alpines. Stupid US government overreach.

That's a pretty awkward list of cars tbh.

Dirty Harry · 01-12-2020, 05:48 AM

2 problems with this.

1. This decade doesn’t officially end until the 31st of December 2020.
2. Number 1 is a Tesla!?!? Influential cars of the past decade yes, but best, no.

ZionsWrath · 01-12-2020, 05:58 AM

Didn't look at the list but 20 cars in ten years means there is probably a lot of junk on that list.

mrg666 · 01-12-2020, 09:19 AM

Let's make our list then. 1st car is our 86/BRZ as we are driving it. What else?

I will name Tesla 3.

About as awkward as the last few seasons of Top Gear

That just means they'll post another clickbait article. Pageviews ftw?

Yea, i really don't get the metrics they're using to narrow the list down.

Tesla as a brand is very influential, but none of their cars stand out as being any more influential than another

Eleventy million is a lot of HP

By definition a decade is any 10 year span. It is not the end of the 22rd decade, but is the end of the 2010 decade

Technically I think that means the decade ends after 2020, i.e. January 1st 2021 is the beginning of a new decade.

Umm... #racecar or something.

Except that nobody actually thinks that way except a few neckbeards looking for an idiotic argument. When people look back at "the 20s," they'll count 2020 among them, because it's a 20. Whether it's technically correct is irrelevant and inconsequential.

So all those millennium babies born just after midnight Jan. 1st, 2000 are frauds? The media was spreading false news even back then?
No wonder Y2K bugs fizzled.

Well, back in the day - what year? Now, I'm not sure -
