It's cool how the thread is about 80's cars and yet there's not a single car from the 80's in here.

I also feel like it's 'old' enough now that ... kind of every car from the 80s is ugly.

It was a gross time for automotive design.

I liked the looks of my '96 300ZX Twin Turbo (similar to this). Still like it.

Agree to disagree. Haha. I do love the E30 M3, but it's hard to come up with a list of 80s cars that I'm all that into. That's why I implied most cars, not all.

I think peak automotive sex appeal was 90's Japan.

I grew up in the 90’s and lived with all those cars. I have no romanticized view of them. The FD RX7 is likely the best looking one of the bunch and my favorite. My roommate bought a brand new one when they first came out and I remember it fondly, color shifting green with tan interior. It was great *for the time* but not a car you would want to try and pile miles on but it had more than its share of mechanical issues.

That, the NSX, and Supra are the only cars from that era I find remotely interesting and the Supra not even aesthetically. 3 cars don’t make for an era of peak sex appeal lol

Yes. Still one of, if not the best Japanese designs. Silver is far from its best color, but just to play fair:

My dad had one until last year. Fantastic little thing. The scale of them compared to their contemporaries is what really worked for me. Just a completely different size.

Oh yeah. I love the FD, but I'm generally too tall for one anyways. I'd also never want to deal with rotory issues, so it'd have to be a swap car. I just love the way they look.

The NSX is also up there. Just a classic wedge.

I forgot about the conquest/starion. There was one for sale a few years back that looked pretty clean. I wish I had bought it, even if just to drive it for a summer. Cool little cars.

I just think that the RX-7 was far from the best looking car ever and reminds me of a Lima bean. Just my personal taste. Name calling is totally unnecessary just because we disagree on what is good styling.

Have a nice day.

i think the OP edited the original title from 80s to 90s after someone commented that all the cars being mentioned were, in fact, from the 90s.

I dated a girl back in the day, her father bought all the cars for the family including her Matador....he loved AMC, his wife had the Gremlin. The upside was that the front seats folded completely flat turning that thing into a sex pit....this girl did it like a pack of wild dogs.....Ugly car though, if it wasn't for the sex I'd never have gotten into that thing.
