MC Cabrio-One of 6 sexiest cars for 2005

I just read the LIFE supplement in my weekend paper & the MINI Cooper Convertible has been chosen as one of the 6 SEXIEST cars of 2005. The 5 others are...

Chevy Corvette
Ford Mustang
Chrysler 300
Maserati Quattroporte
Scion XB

They call it "a stout, overachieving terrier that loves to shred curves and nip at the heels of bigger, stronger breeds. The very affordable MINI is the definition of untraditionally sexy"

I think I'll go for a ride in my "sexy" MINI

Seems pretty accurate to me.....and if you can do all that topless, yeah, I'd say that was dead sexy.

Since when did 4-door sedans and a delivery van become sexy? OMG people, it's time for a regime change around here! Vote on November 2nd.

I was thinking the same thing as you MGCMAN before I got to the bottom of the thread and saw your comment.

The Xb - sexy I don't think so. Chrysler 300 - I've passed a number of those on the road back from the Dragon last week and they have parts falling off them already. So blow that one off. At this point were down to 4.

The Ford Mustang? How about the GT40 - now that's sexy. We're down to three.

Maserati hasn't made a sexy or true sporty car in years and if they did why don't we see more on the road. One to go.

The Corvette, it's the only true american sports car that evryone knows from sight, but that doesn't mean sex rolls off it because a little body trim has been changed. They say the same thing about it every time they have a body change, but if so why is the resale so bad on them. I guess their only sexy for 1 year and that's it.

Well if my count is right the MINI Cooper Convertible is the sexiest car for 2005.
