What's your favorite 80's car?

[Joseph F]

Hands down, mine is the Lincoln Continental Mark VII.
Preferably, in black or dark brown.

Delorian.

I love the DeLorean. If it were a practical car in any way, I would have bought it. Alas...

Ferrari F40. My if-I-win-the-Lottery car back in the 80's.

Delorian, Starion, late 80's 240sx

Lancia Delta Integrale HF in Red. I would import it to US if I could.... I got more than enough money to buy one! But the downside, where would I keep it? Evidently, 3 car garage is not enough...

I'm changing my vote to the Porsche 928. This was such an iconic car for me. Right up there with the Lamborghini Countach. It beats it simply because it was a car you could actually own and drive on a daily basis.

hmmmm.....80's.....possibly the worst era ever for cars.

i just can't think of an original choice. testarossa/f40 i guess

I agree for most 80s cars. They're all lines.

A couple are decent, namely the more unique sports cars and the early "super" cars, like the Countach that brainhulk posted. That was a very advanced design for it's time - that car is as old as I am. I don't like the average 80s car, though. I'd gladly take most affordable cars from the 50s and 60s (especially muscle cars) over the cars from that decade.

Ferrari GTO

This is one of my favs

1982 datsun 280zx 2 seater with the t top and 5 speed.

Wasn't around in the 1980's to buy it but i had one as a daily driver for a short time about 2 years ago,it was fun to drive.

Still want one today:

The Z32 launched as a 1990 model late in 1989 and ran through 96 (in the states at least) so I think you're thinking the in wrong decade here. That said, pignose S13 240SX's were pretty sweet, but I'm going to have to go with the 944 Turbo here. That, the Merkur XR4Ti, or the GN. At a glance it seems like the 80's were a pretty low point, but there were still plenty of gems to be had.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Many cars from the 80's I love:

Dodge Daytona Shelby 1988/89

 

[alkemyst]

1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S or the 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo

rapidly the thread becomes "what car from the 80s that you will never be able to buy";

so my new entry is an original McLaren F1
