johnh875 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Top 20 German cars

Following on from the previous threads, here is the German

1 Porsche 911
2 Mercedes 300SL
3 BMW 1500
4 VW Golf
5 VW Beetle
6 Porsche Boxster
7 NSU Ro80
8 BMW 520
9 Audi Quattro
10 Mercedes-Benz CLS
11 VW Transporter
12 Opel Diplomat
13 Opel Ascona
14 Mercedes-Benz SL “Pagoda”
15 Mercedes-Benz 600
16 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3
17 BMW M1
18 BMW 3.2 CSL Batmobile
19 Bitter Coupe
20 Audi TT

Some of their reasoning doesn't make a great deal of sense to me, eg including the original BMW 520 because later models were good??? And I'm not sure about the comment “the 1982 Audi 100 was clearly the same design, with new headlights and flush glass” as the NSU Ro80! I'm sure there are a few pre-war cars that would push out things like the BMW 1500, 520, Golf, Pagoda SL, CLS and the Bitter Coupe. Surely the original 1896 Benz deserves a place for starters!
