Die sportlichsten Autos 2004
Every year the German car magazine "Sport Auto" holds a kind of
"public-opinion poll" about the sportiest car of any defined category.
Every reader (i'm not sure if there was a way to give a vote through the i-net.)
can give two votes in every category.
I remember reading that this time there were about 350.000 participants.
Here are the results of a 3 month enduring survey.
The two superior categories are the stock cars (Serienautos) and the tuning cars (Tuningautos).
The secondarily categories are separated by cartype (roadster, coupes, sedans) and by price range.
There were only cars listed that are actualy still on sale!
(Enzo won his category in 2002)
I didn't translate all the single terms so i hope you will get along with those few german words.
(ger. "bis" = engl. "up to"; ger. "über" = engl. "more than" )
