My least favourite '80s car:

 

Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT)

I hated that stoopid car with it's holier-than-thou sanctimonious voice.

 

 

The Hoff was good though...

Ferrari Testarossas:

Very cliche, I know, but I don't much care for the red/tan ones. I like the white ones, especially when they come with funky interior mixtures such as white/creme and red.

 

Ferrari BB 512.

 

1024px-Ferrari512BB1976.jpg

 

Probably one of my favorite Ferraris ever.

The R32 only juuust sneaks into the 80's. E30 M3 an excellent shout.

 

Another just-about-80s beauty:

Yeah, I already know if it generally is a 90's car. But, because technically it's first produced in 1989 (and I simply loved it), it still counted IMO, although a border one.

 

Speaking about Japanese cars, I'm sure this really counts..

(Regardless of Trueno or Levin, coupe or hatchback, US spec or JP spec, doesn't really matters.)

 

..also this..

^ Cool car, a total chore to work on.

 

OT: I'll take any chance I get to post my absolute favorite car of all time:

 

Pre-facelift Turbo(1979-1986):

Post-facelift "Aero" model(1987-1993):

Saab 9000 Carlsson:

Fiat X1/9

And many, many more of course. The 1980's are my favorite years for car designs. Angular and hard-edged, yet sophisticated.

I am a sucker for old Oldsmobiles. Maybe the Cutlass Supreme for me.

Probably one of my favorite 80's German cars. I regret not taking a picture of a light blue one I saw a few months back. I can't for the life of me find those things and a guy with a black one stopped coming to cars and coffee.

The M1 was released in 1978, so I'd say it's 70s. Similarly the E24 is a 70s design albeit one in production until 1988. And the XJS is also from the 70s, though I don't think the Lister ones were built until the 80s.

That as it may but the rules don't say that the cars couldn't have originated in the 70's. The cars shown were made in the 80's and helped define the decade.

 

Here is one more fave from the 80's
