Top Ten Cars Americans Can't Live Without

#1 - Chevrolet Corvette

America's sports car, around since 1953, it would be unthinkable (even to those who have never owned one) for there not to be a Corvette.

#2 - Ford Mustang

The first pony car, introduced in 1964 at the New York Worlds Fair, it's been around ever since and since 2005, sports looks that hark back to the original.
#3 - Dodge Challenger

Back with us for the first time since 1974, we're not about to let it go away again.
#4 - Chevrolet Camaro

The 2010 is the best Camaro yet in terms of handling, braking and build quality and it's not far off the mark in performance set a generation ago by the COPO and Yenko cars.
#5 - Ford F-150

America's pickup truck without which everything from construction to ranching would screech to a halt. Maybe the most important vehicle in America.
#6 - Cadillac CTS

The car that made Cadillac cool again and along with the Escalade rescued a brand that seem unrescuable
#7 - Saturn Sky

One that we'll sadly have to learn to live without, the Sky along with its sibling the Pontiac Solstice went out of production this past July. Rest in peace.
#8 - Hummer

Off to an uncertain future without GM, the Hummer came to be synonymous with the excesses of the new millennium.
#9 - Dodge Ram

Pioneering styling that mimicked that of a Kenworth, it remains the toughest looking truck on the road.
#10 - Chrysler 300

The car that brought the big-time swagger of a Bentley to every American street. One of the all-time great American sedan designs.

Glad to see the Cadillac there. Cadillac races and it shows. You want a family Corvette, by a Cadilac CTS-V.

My 04 Commerative Edition Coupe is a nice head turner. This is my 4th Vette (81, 90 & 94)and they have been great cars in their own way. I've managed to keep one even as we raise to daughters, thanks to an understanding wife. Power, performance, handling, reliability and resale value keeps me in the Chevy camp. Life begins at 180 mph!!!! That Grand Sport for 2010 looks awesome!!

I used to believe mid-year big blocks were the only ones to have until I got my first Z06 wow what a drive;;;vettes are the best;;;66racer.Tucumcari,N.M.

Well, I own a chrome bumper C3 and a Mustang GT, so I guess that I am very lucky. Andy Tenore

What about the Shelby Mustang? That should have been up there in the top ten! The 69-70 model year was the best.

Glad to see the Corvette is nunber 1 on the list. My 1967 Corvette coupe 427 4 speed in Sunfire yellow will always remain in my family. I have owned several Corvettes over the years. However, The 67 will remain the best ever! LLW FIVE STARS.

Crome bumper C3 sharks are the coolest.

C2 Corvette Sting Rays are tops

I am surprised the car that started the muscle car craze/era.. Pontiac's GTO is not even in the top ten...??? Must be a younger crowd that made the vote/selections.

My 2009 gets better mpg than many Toyota's. Wouldn't think of buying an import.

I am very dissappointed the Pontiac Firebird did not make the list.

I have always thought the corvette to be the finest car for the money. European sports car makers better get their act together because the new Vette is awesome and affordably priced. The ZR1 is in a class of its own. Frank Shelton, Berlin, MD

Its about time an American automobile (Sports car) made the US National number ONE position. Its now competitive with Asian/European machines. If GM makes only one machine...let it be the world challenger...the American CORVETTE.
