View Full Version : Favorite cars from the 90's

I've been watching alot of Wheeler Dealers (for those of you who don't know, they buy run down iconic 70's and 80's cars to "original" condition and flip them for profit) lately and I started to wonder which cars from the 90's are your favorites?
Off the top of my head:
Honda/Acura Integra (first car I noticed and fell in love with - I was 13)

E30 BMW and the FD3s are definately at the top of my list. i know im going to get flamed but im still inlove with the played out S chassis. bodylines are :drool: IMO Only complain is the need a bit of work to look good. s chassis 4x4 stance:nut:

everything after the 90's has seemed to fall off. cars have became bland now. everything resembles that of another car.
then when one really nice car DOES come out. everyone and there dog goes and buys it and it looses its appeal... to me anyways.

id say the 88-91 civic.. i never used to like them... i actually hated hatchbacks until my friends grew on me. eventually i bought one and wish i could have kept it. i have a 99 Sir now, but man was the hatch fun.

- 355 is definitely one of my fav's. Ferrari styling at its finest. Red on tan spyder = YUMMMY
- 300ZX was an ICON during the 90's....hell even in the 2000's I would do a full 180 when I saw a nice one. Not the case anymore with all the beat up Fairlady's that have flooded our streets.
- Although not associated with the 90's...if I could go back and pickup a w126 1991 350SDL and get the factory updated crate engine in it I would be smiling from ear to ear till the day I die.
http://www.old-mercedes.ru/d/86-2/FAT45016.jpg
- Late model SEC would be DOPE:
http://img2.netcarshow.com/Wald-Mercedes-Benz_W126_SEC_1997_1024x768_wallpaper_06.jpg
- 1995 E300 Diesel (last year of the w124): In 1995 the Diesel W124 finally got the nice interior that the rest of the cars had from early on. A 500E would be sick too.

The Porsche 993 is my favorite car of the 90s. It's probably the most beautiful porsche ever made IMO.
The MR2 still looks very modern today. It was a timeless design that will always look great.

In the early 90's, the 300CE's were gorgous, a friend of mine has a stunner red one with full AMG kit (from the factory new)

I always like the 5th gen prelude, with a drop and the "shredder" style rims, it would just be a stunner, with Pearl white and the rare red leather interior as well.

98-2000 LS400's will age perfectly, I think that the it got too round in 01, and prior to 97 looked a little boxy dated.

I will do a photoshoot sometime soon.. maybe this weekend, if you like 300CE's you will die when you see this one. The original owner bought the car in Germany and took it to the AMG factory to get everything installed, Even the guages, steering wheel, everything is perfect. Plus has the S600 Chrome front grill. 24V, just a stunner.
