I agree the Muria should be there, not F40 or NSX. The 60s Continental convertible was pretty cool in the day. I think the point is that ask twenty people for the 50 coolest & you get no two lists alike. Just like us.

I'm am certainly not a "hater" , I just don't see the point in consolidating these particular 50 cars into the group they are in. I certainly agree that the Pantera is on of the 51 coolest cars of the last
50 years but as far as some of the others on the list go I would strongly disagree. I have always liked the early 60's continental convertible but I don't think it's among the 50 coolest, nor the Miata. The Citroen SM had many advanced features but I never thought of it as particularly "cool".
What happened to The Lamborghini Muria, the F-40, the NSX those 3 should certainly be in any list of coo cars of the last 50 years. In my opinion the article was a mish mosh of cars. Some unique some quite common and a few Like our favorite very cool. But as far as a comprehensive list of the
51 coolest cars of the last 50 years I for one think the author missed the mark.
