Here's the whole of the 2 votes section. At last I've found a few minutes to get it together - really sorry for the wait.
Mazda MX-5
The MX-5 took the classic configuration of front mid-mounted engine,
rear-wheel drive, with a long bonnet and 50:50 weight distribution between
the front and rear axles, and was instantly acclaimed as a proper driver's
car, despite its relatively low-powered 1.6-litre, 115bhp engine.
Nissan 300ZX
The 300ZX Turbo was the embodiment of brains and brawn. Introduced in
1989 as a 1990 model, the fourth-generation turbocharged car received
rave reviews from the automotive media and sent Corvette designers
scrambling to meet the Nissan's 300 hp.
Lancia Delta HF Integrale
The Delta HF Integrale is as much a winner in world markets as it is on
the rally circuit. Backed by the prestige of six world rally titles as well as
the elite image of a make with Lancia's long tradition of excellence, the
Integrale regularly topped the sales charts for performance 4X4 cars.
Lotus 7
The Lotus 7, which first came out in 1957, was always referred to as a
"Bread and Butter" car, as sales of the car kept the company solvent
during the financially-draining development of the Lotus Elite. The modern
Caterham 7 closely resembles the late 1960's Lotus 7 series III.
Noble M400
With a power to weight ratio of 400bhp per tonne, the Noble M400 is by
far the most powerful car in the M12 range, hitting 60mph from standstill
in 3.5 seconds and 100mph in just 8.0 seconds.
Bentley Continental GT
While it would offer great comfort and unquestioned luxury as it went
about its daily business, so also it would possess a thinly veiled ability to
turn into something special at any moment.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
The Mercedes-Benz SLR marks a new era for high-performance cars and
at the same time, celebrates the formidable SLR race cars of the 1950s.
The SLR McLaren combines unmatched power and performance with
classic Mercedes-Benz design cues.
De Lorean DMC-12
The DMC-12 (also known simply as the De Lorean, as it was the only
automobile produced by the company) featured gull-wing doors and a
brushed, unpainted stainless steel body. The DMC-12 was famously
featured in the Back to the Future movies.
Dodge Viper
If you take a look under the skin of a 1st generation Viper, it was a crude
and rude "kit car," similar to what home builders had been building for
years in Cobra replicas. Chrysler translated this into a vehicle and
production line that, in one fell swoop, became the most sought after
assignment in the corporation up to that point.
Chevrolet Camaro
After two years of watching the Ford Mustang enjoy tremendous success,
General Motors finally launched its entry into the pony car segment, the
Chevrolet Camaro. Although available with a mediocre six cylinder for
volume sales, the Camaro could be equipped with several V8s and a
myriad of performance options.
Lancia Stratos
Space-age looks made this one of the most extraordinary cars of its era.
It was also the first car designed and built purely to win the World Rally
Championship. Which it did.
Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR
The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR was built to tackle the international sports
car circuit in the late 1990s. Although it saw continued success, victory at
Le Mans, the crown jewel of sports car racing, continued to elude this
immensely powerful machine.
BMW 6-series
This is a remarkably easy car to drive, whether you're in motorway-cruise
or cross country-thrash mode. A superbly well sorted chassis is
supplemented by a mind boggling array of driver aids. A massively better
car than the 8-Series that preceded it and a much better flag-bearer for
the BMW brand.
Yugo
The Yugo is a subcompact car made by the Zastava automobile works
from Serbia and Montenegro, and previously the former Yugoslavia. The
main production is in the city of Kragujevac in central Serbia. Initially it
was sold as Zastava Jugo, and its current version is called Zastava
Tempo.
Jaguar Mark II
The 1955 Mark I was the first monocoque (unibody) car from Jaguar. In
1959, the car was improved with a larger engine and wider windows and
became the Mark II, one of the most recognizable Jaguar models ever
produced.
Audi RS-6
Mercedes offers 349 horsepower in its E55 AMG? BMW will give you 394
with the M5? Then Audi will produce 450. And so we get the RS6, a
two-ton beast powered by a schmoozed-over version of the 4.2-litre
5-valve V8 used in the S8.
Mercedes-Benz CLS
As a unique synthesis of a coupe and a saloon, the new CLS-Class offers
a great deal more added value than other coupes. In this way
Mercedes-Benz is once again emphasizing its role as a trendsetter for new
ideas in the automotive world.
Dodge Charger
The Dodge Charger was a response to the fastback fad started by the
Mustang and the Barracuda, but on a much larger scale. Based on the
midsize Dodge Coronet model, the Charger was launced in 1966 and
quickly became a sales hit with its dramatic fuselage styling of 1968.
Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG
Behold the German Ferrari. We didn't think those buttoned-down,
left-brain Deutschers had it in 'em, but this latest AMG accurately captures
the otherworldly rocket-propelled acceleration and Gravitron cornering
effects and even some of the charming quirks of a small-line Italian
exotic.
Porsche 356
The first car to bear the Porsche name was a breakthrough. The 356
reached its ultimate expression in the Carrera 2. With 130
horsepower on tap, the model could sprint from zero to 60 miles per hour
in about nine seconds, and had a top speed of 125 miles per hour.
Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno
The Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno is a small, lightweight coupe introduced
by Toyota in 1983 as part of the fifth generation Corolla line-up. Unlike
the front wheel drive AE82 models, the AE86 was rear wheel drive, and is
said to be the last rear-drive car of its type, at a time when most
passenger cars were being switched to front-drive.
Land Rover Defender
Now known as the Defender, Land Rover's iconic off-road vehicle is the
benchmark for all modern four-wheel-drives and is often described as the
'hero' of the Land Rover range.
Cadillac Series 62 1959
The '59 Caddy had it all - looks, performance, and comfort. It stood as
the ultimate symbol of success, impressive and controversial. The
outrageous tail fins and jet pod taillights evoked either a love it or leave it
attitude with the public.
Hummer H1
Originally released in the civilian market in 1992, the Hummer H1 owes its
birth to the popularity of photos from Operation Desert Storm and the
enthusiastic campaign from California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger,
who personally owns several variants of Hummer vehicles.
Peugeot 205
Widely regarded as a modern classic, the 205 is often credited as the car
which turned Peugeot's fortunes around. Before the 205, Peugeot was
considered the most conservative of France's "big three" car
manufacturers, producing worthy but dull large sedans such as the 504
and 505.
Audi RS4
The RS4 was brought into the UK in extremely limited numbers, so getting
hold of one will be extremely difficult. It also lacks the ultimate
enjoyment factor of its BMW M5 rival. That said, its rarity ensures it will be
a sought after car for much time to come.
