The Chrysler Corporation minivan (Chrysler Town and Country, Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager) was an extremely influential vehicle. It was the first minivan. It created an entirely new segment in the industry.

jeep chorekee? i'm guessing because it started the SUV craze? it's a pretty good list but i would replace the 430 with the F355

Moreover, it pretty much saved Chrysler Corp from bankrupcy

Actually, that role is usually ascribed to the "K car" (e.g. Dodge Aries) which came a few years earlier.

can someone please explain their knowlegable thoughts on why civic si is there? i would think that either the CTR or the ITR would be in its place...but not no second class SI (second class to where the si is coming behind type r as first class)

Maybe because ITR wasn't really obtainable, and CTR is not offerered in the US?

Huh? Then what's that car in my avatar?

I read somewhere that the Civic Si was the car that jumpstart the import car modding scene. Perhaps this was why they ranked it.

Now it is, you can find one easy. When it first came out in 97, only 500 was imported. I know, I was working for Honda back in the days.

They meant ALL Civics. The '06 Si was just the car they showed in one picture.

It's also interesting to note that some manufacturers have up to three cars on the list of twenty while others remain absent.
