Still the 2002 BMW 7 series would be much better than any proton car. Use ur brains before replying!

Thats the problem. I am so curious why no proton car is in the list?
It really should be dominated by them
Thankz!

lol, the iconic delorean also inside ..

use your brain, use your brain..! if proton is not in the list then this list must be compiled only for US/Continental cars laa...

How come no Proton in the list ?

Read the title,then tell me whether you should rephrase your sentence.

I thought there are some reviews in Europe talking about our national car. Don't forget that we exported Proton to Europe as well but they renamed it. I saw a police car in UK using Proton Wira before.

same reason why some movie never get pirated

Why Proton not in the list?
Why those China car not in the list?
Why KIA not in the list?

Because Proton do not exist in the entire world.

jeez, Proton, the magical word can turn people into dumbasses.

btw sarahho, a suggestion for you, since you look pretty worked up by this list thingy, why don't you write to the Editor of Time to voice your suggestion?

not proton again..not tired with it?..this is survey on european/american cars..u think they would even bother to write anything about proton and perodua

bring ur hatred to elsewhere idiot

As the majority of cars in that list are mainly american cars, a few italians and british, dont forget that article is by Time magazine. Surprisingly i dont see any cars from Japanese/Korean or even a Malaysian. Dont forget if u a Top gear watcher, u do realised that American cars are crap.

Aiks, not the Back To The Future car.

hey......look on the bright side. even a ferrari and a lambo made it to the list.

that says a lot on public perception on cars.

wait till time do the survey for asia region......

Hummer!

The worst word mean in which way? Overall?

I think this list is about european and american car.. Tha why no other country car like japan, china, and malaysia.

no way.... 2002 7-series only the technical part is good(in year 2002 till the new facelift).. not the design... i love the facelift alot.. not the pre-facelift... i bet u haven't seen a 2002 7 series....

u should have use ur brain and read what car is inside... does it include asia carmaker... or u have a brain instead? lol

heh, I sense a coupefan reincarnate.. she won't last long..

shd u add mitsubishi or dihatshu in the list? Proton a lot from mitsu perodua all from dihat

Not only Malaysian, India, China or Korean car, there also no Japanese car in the list.

Lol at bold part.

Sendiri wanna start war, sendiri kasi warning?

lol i laughed out loud. popcorn anyone?

im surprised that there were no calls for the citeron 2CV

lol-ed @ sarahho


ps: u have any brains or u have but choose not to use them ?

or maybe the brains are ....

cuz it was not sold in USA,i guess...

cos those 3 top gear dudes say it so

they even praised kelisa

Add these in the list
Proton- All models

doubt they even bother reviewing them at all.
btw, BMW 7 series appearing in the list doesn't seem that suprising to me. it doesn't even look nice...

Looks nice but the car too bulky and long and thats the big turn off.

y'knw why proton , perodua etc arent even on the list.... they dont even consider them cARs!!!!!!!!! its that simple really!

just kidding dont mind my bad taste of humour..

erm.... arsenwagon, i dun get it...

check out those american made only conclude proton are bad car or not .
by the way , proton QC is bad only . their car is actually nt so bad only .

and if you want to compare , use those gen2 s.neo waja as proton. not those rebadge mitsus.

Wahahar you people always condemn proton lar...
Compare Proton with Russian LADA and VOLGA...
And you can see blessings

I doubt they review all the cars ever exists...

yea... totally agree wif u... proton cars aren't expensive so dun expect it 2 b gd... unlike US cars, dey r priced close 2 european cars n most of de time their cars r not as gd... b proud dat we hav proton in de country or else most of us will b riding bikes n bicycles instead (unless we can afford jap or continental cars)...

westerner blessing plotong bcos they own lotus..

Oh NO!! I love the Hummer H2...

it this true?

the list is on the basis of what? sales? performance?
i really need to know the full article..

why no reliant robin? the three wheels car?

what's the problem with it being big and long? its a 7 series ffs. its meant to a full size luxury car. want something smaller get a 3 or 5
of course the design is controversial; its the 1st bimmer designed by bangle. but just because it doenst look good does that mean the overall quality of the car is crap? anyway in 2005 the car is facelifted

I was watching Channel 78 Discovery Real Time on ASTRO just now and, the Ford Model T is one of the best car the world has ever made. What makes it the worst 50 WORST CARS OF ALL TIME????

Most probably only car available in US in compared. So that's y no Proton in the thread. Take it easy..

Yes, it's very obvious why Proton isn't on the list.

Protons cars simply could not meet the US Safety Regulations. I'm not talking out of my ass, this is a fact. No Protons have been sold there since the Saga 2 decades ago I believe (which was before they raised their safety standards).

The pre-facelift BMW 7-series is one of those cars which is very good inside but ugly outside. I guess the Time people considered looks to be a major factor as well. Nevertheless they were honest enough to include many of their own national cars.

In my opinion the Ford Model T shouldn't have been in that list though, it was a major breakthrough! Same goes to the Chrysler Airflow.

Jaguar X-Type?????

"Multipla" is a time-honored name for Fiat. The company made an adorable microvan by that name in the '50s and '60s, based on the Fiat 600. The Multipla that appeared in 1998 was anything but adorable. With its strange high-beam lenses situated at the bottom of the A-pillars (base of the windshield), the Multipla looked like it had several sets of eyes, like an irradiated tadpole. It had this weird proboscis out front and a bulky, glass cabin in back, and the whole thing was situated on dwarfish wheels. I rented one of these in Europe and it worked beautifully, but it was just so tragic to look at. The Multipla (and the Aztek and the Consulier GTP) reminds us that cars cannot just work beautifully. They have to be beautiful. At least they can't look like this.

They judge based on looks ... which definitely isn't fair

dood, the reason why proton don't sell in USA is because it's right hand drive, it would be stupid for proton to develop left hand drive to target US market.

Dude go Wiki Proton la ...

You are malaysian or what??
