Its sells at a faster rate (vehicles/year), but the total number of vehicles sold is still higher for the corolla

Depends on your definition of what a “fun” car is. And even to two people who have the same definition of “fun”, their ideas of the most fun car ever would be different. The superlatives in this post refer to tangible figures like weight, power and size. Fun is too abstract a concept to consistently measure.

The LaF produces 789bhp but the Zonda Revolution produces 800bhp. I might be wrong . If you’re talking about road cars only or current cars only then I’m wrong

Well if we’re talking current cars i think the FXXK LaF makes 848 hp.

Does your Ram have a greek tile floor, and an artisan italian fire place, or a body made of egyptian steel, and an interior stitched with pure stranded diamond?

A truck is not a car, it’s a truck. A car and a truck are both automobiles.
