<honorable mention: audi tt. too slow, too girly. but almost a vw.>
IMHO the Audi TT deserves a whole lot more than just honorable mention. Too slow? Indeed, the 180 is underpowered. But the 225 (1.8T) or the 250 (3.2) are sufficiently powered and very spirited from a driveability perspective. The overall design of the TT was cutting edge, critically acclaimedm and is destined to become a classic. The coupe is absolutely gorgeous. If that constitutes "girly", so be it.
Finally, the TT, from a historical design perspective, is very similar to the Mk1 Scirocco in terms of its emergence onto the automotive scene.
