"The Calibra is one of the few cars of the 1990s which still looks fresh from every angle"

I stopped looking after this sentence.

The only reason the Calibra looks "fresh" is because you very rarely see them any more to the point where you have forgotten what they look like, so when you do see one, it looks "fresh" as in, "I've not seen that before, what is it?" followed by "oh yes, a Calibra, no wonder you you don't see them any more" laugh

mondeo, coupe; I'm working my way through the list to the inevitable conclusion of getting a McLaren...hopefully.

These MSN cars articles are always crap. They seem to have just selected 50 cars from the 90s, not necessarily the good ones. I mean, a Renault Scenic?

I remember reading an article on MSN cars called something like "20 cars to move over for if you see them in your mirror on the motorway"; utter rubbish.

Aren't the wheels wrong for a T plate coupe?

No. It's a 20v NA (non-turbo) but not the later VIS engined one......

I'd say there's a whole bunch of cars in that list that are stretching the boundaries of "great". Would have been more accurate to call it a list of " a few great cars, some good ones and a bunch of average crap" evil

Future classic 90s cars

Only the 300zx gets me wanting one of MSNs clasic 90s cars and the Coupé of course.
