Well, the countdown begins here folks, expect daily updates from me - here's the first 10:
100. Cadillac Eldorado
The most fin-tastic American motor, beloved by Elvis but rejected by Brits as just too over-the-top. Still, you would, wouldn't you?
99. Volkswagen Phaeton
It's a Volkswagen. It costs ?61,000. It has a V10 turbodiesel. It seems 4Car voters looked at these three facts and concluded 'you're having a laugh, VW...'
98. Austin Maxi
A hugely spacious car with seats you can fold flat to sleep on. And the Austin Maxi Club has owners as far away as Finland. But you, dear readers, remained cruelly unmoved.
97. Toyota Corolla
One of the biggest selling cars of all time: sensationally reliable, fabulous build quality, frugal, blah blah blah. Did we mention 'spectacularly dull'?
96. Lamborghini LM002
When Lamborghini announced back in '86 that it would build a V12-powered off-roader, most people laughed out loud. Well, it's nearly 20 years on and we're still chortling.
95. Austin 7
How could we have been so hard on such a cute little motor? And we'll bet you didn't know that the first BMW was one of these built under license. Or maybe you did...
94. Duesenberg SSJ
Hollywood star Clark Gable had one of these, and to own one today would cost you ?hundreds of thousands. So are we perhaps a touch jealous, folks?
93. Smart Fortwo
We thought this right-on green, cute little city car would do much better. But as Smart is now struggling to survive, perhaps you lot know something we don't.
92. Fiat X1/9
Styled by Bertone, this little mid-engined mini supercar was a cult classic. OK, so it wasn't the most reliable thing on the road. And yes, we noticed the rust thing, too.
91. Renault 4
This 'people's car' was so successful it was nicknamed 'the blue jeans of the motor industry'. And we've seen how good Jeremy Clarkson looks in blue jeans, haven't we...
