Default What are your top 20 favorite vehicles?

Just for fun and satisfy my curiosity. What are your top 10 favorite new vehicles under U.S.$100,000? And what are your top 5 favorite new vehicles over U.S.$100,000? And what are your top 5 overall favorite vehicles that are no longer in production anymore? You don't have to have driven any of them to love them, it could be any reasons.

Here are mine:

10 favorite new vehicles under U.S.D.$100,000:
1. Nissan GT-R
2. BMW M3/335i
3. Lexus IS350
4. BMW M5
5. Infiniti G35 sedan
6. Mazda MX-5
7. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
8. BMW 135i
9. Honda Fit
10. Lotus Exige S

5 favorite new vehicles over U.S.D.$100,000:
1. Ferrari F430 Scuderia
2. Porsche 911 GT3
3. Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera
4. Maserati Granturismo
5. Lexus LS600hL

5 favorite old vehicles regardless of price and year:
1. Ferrari F355
2. Ferrari 360 Modena
3. Honda/Acura NSX
4. Nissan Skyline GTR R33
5. Mazda RX-7 FD3S

If you think they are too much, just list whatever you like. Sorry the title says 18, actually is 20.

You want me to think up 18 vehicles, categorize them by price, then by unlimited, then by "i just like'em"?

Man I'm gonna need some paypal for that kind of work.

Here's my list:

(1) Mercedes CLK63 black series

So far 5 people have listed theirs, and Lexus LS has appeared in 4 of them and Acura NSX and BMW 335i/335xi have both appeared 3 times. I guess they are really that attractive huh.

Yes, I misread the number in your request. Oh well, no problem.

You can tell my age, though...few others listed cars as far back as the 60's like I did. Some of those were cars I grew up with.

The LS, obviously, speaks for itself. And I have remarked, several times, that I think the 335 is a better buy overall than the M3, dollar-for-dollar. It is more comfortable, and almost as much car as the M3, for a lot less money.

I have driven 335i sedan a few months back and it was such an excellent car. If not for the looks, I probably would have gone for the 335i sedan instead of the IS350. It was very fast and nimble and the steering feel was so sharp and immediate, and the suspension is incredible. The overall ride is better than IS350 in my opinion. But I just love the IS's look both inside and out. Talking about M3, I have not driven one, but after adopting the coupe's front look onto the sedan I like it more now. I guess M3 concentrates more on the high end horsepower instead of the low and mid range torque that 335i has plenty of. I do agree that 335i is a much better buy. Too bad the regular 3 sedan's front end is not the coupe's.
