Qualification to make the list? Pure sex appeal. Says RTM editor-in-chief Courtney Caldwell, "Sports cars are about fantasy and self image. Just looking at one incites erotic thoughts and visions of grandeur. Owning one turns those images into reality!"

BMW Z4
Chevrolet Corvette
Dodge Charger
Ford Mustang
Honda S2000
Hyundai Tiburon
Mazda MX-5
Mercedes-Benz SLK
Nissan 350Z
Pontiac Solstice (pictured)

I have to agree with the post about ignorance in America. my 06 Hyundai Tibby has gotten many a glance from the ladies and is a really fun drive too. All you haters need to chill out. This car rocks.

People, you have to understand what is meant by sexy when applied to cars. A lot of the big stuff mentioned above may be gorgeous and even macho but what does a girl look cute in is the real question to ask. What is a girl going to think she is going to look cute in? I dont know of course but it seems to me that this list is not far off the mark. Meet a girl driving some of the stuff Philbert mentioned and let me assure you that you are in out of your depth guys. And is it sexy? I dont think so.

And now my real point. I dont think that the Honda S2000 should be on the list because it is a bona fide mans car. What girl is interested in edgy handling and hooning along at 9000 rpm?

And furthermore

I love the tiburon and everything about it. everyone is still stuck on the way hyundai used to make cars. I was nervous when I bought a hyundai but after 80k miles with not a problem yet, my mind has been changed. Also take a look at running costs for the tiburon, no synthetic oil, regular gas, 100k mile warranty. you really cant beat it. as for the sex appeal of the car. I cant tell you how many people have asked me what kind of exotic sports car it was. I just think people should test drive a tiburon before they talk about them. I guarantee there wont be anything bad to say

Being a proud MX-5 owner, and having fielded many compliments (on the car and its owner!), I have to agree it's durn sexy. Glad to see it's on the list, though there should be color specs--the "Copper Red" is definitely NOT sexy.

Thank you for making my point for me, James. Note the lack of control over the English language, and overall lack of eloquence to the writing. Why would I take such a post seriously when looking to invest in a car? Also note that the Tib in the pic is the older RD body, where the '03+ Tibs are the GK body. There's a little difference between the two. Once again, thanks for playing.

Whoever mentioned the "drivability" of the $140k+ vehicles has no credibility to comment on it unless they've driven both. Thanks for playing.

I've had my Tiburon GT for two years now. Came from the factory with some very comfy leather seats, Infinity sound system, and a solid 6-speed manual tranny, all for less than $19k. So far, so good. I like laughing at people who don't realize one heck of a deal when they see it. Go take one for a drive sometime.

45. The Tiburon -- is that with or without the aftermarket bogus Italian badges?

To the idiot who posted this: You are in idiot. Please research your comment before posting. The aftermarket badges are what comes on the TUSCANI as it is called in Korea. So please go shoot your self. Thanks.

If ya actually wanna learn something about the Tiburon instead of being closed minded just cause its a Hyundai go here. www.newtiburon.com These are some of the most unique and innovative people as far as the tuner community goes that i have ever seen. Ive been browsing there for a while and I am thoroughly impressed. If these people want a part they dont sit around waiting for some company to make it they go create and innovate on there own. I cant wait till i get my new 06 Tiburon SE and then become a member of there community.

For all of you idiots out there that don't think the tiburon should be on the list, should reconsider what this LIST IS FOR. PURE SEXIEST CARS, YOU F*CKING MORONS. LEARN TO READ.
