Just kinda fun to thumb through. Lots of $2 million + hyper-cars and a few rather mundane ones that we are very familiar with. The article said that several of the hyper-cars are true Unobtanium; they were pre-sold before introduction.

Define “clickbait.” Yeah, you have to hit “next” to see the 30 cars, but you do not have to click 60 times because every other page is an ad of some kind. One click, one car. Glad you were able to stop yourself

I really don’t think it’s as simple as that. Here’s how Urban Dictionary defines it:
quote:
The "bait" comes in many shapes and sizes, but it is usually intentionally misleading and/or crassly provocative. Clicking will inevitably cause disappointment. Clickbait is usually created for money.
One common type is adverts and spam, such as you might find on a random website or in your Facebook feed. Such clickbait usually leads to a site which tries to sell you something or possibly extort you, by withholding the promised "bait". Typical examples include: a sexy picture which promises to show more; suggestive and intriguing captions, like "you won't believe what this hot girl did"; stories designed to inflame people, such as by playing on political passions, like "woman demands more benefits to pay for comfort eating"; and claimed weight loss methods or body building methods, often with some "weird easy trick".
The second main variety is headlines to media sites which make money from page views. Common offenders are Buzzfeed, and Gawker and its affiliated sites. The headlines are designed to cause maximum provocation or interest, but as a result are frequently extremely exaggerated or flat out lies, and the articles themselves are often just as shoddy.

First two vehicles on the list are Rivian, a company that to date has never manufactured a single vehicle for sale yet. Think I might disagree with the opinions of Forbes' auto analysts.
And yes, this most certainly is a clickbait site given it requires 31 'clicks' to experience the entire list of vehicles.
