What exactly is a "Spider" as a Category?

rahul_intlad · 8th November 2006, 23:54

Manufacturers use Spyder as a synonym for a convertible.

hanmust · 9th November 2006, 12:28

instead of crossover it must have been SUV..and I choose Merc GL in SUV catagory..

ranjan united · 9th November 2006, 23:25

Not a bad list at all.
My only problem is with the Sportscar section. A 599 Fiorona? how about the Pagani Zonda !

It's clearly only new cars. 599 being beautiful, visually, is just wrong...
