I love the look of Honda's of the 80's.

Honda Prelude (3rd gen) just squeezes in late 80's, but second gen looks neat too.

Mugen CRX

and last but not least

the Accord. (3rd gen) again squeezes in but though sedate, it still had a nice style to it and i have always liked it.

4th gen Hilux. When it comes to 80's 4x4's this thing has a special place in my heart.

1983 Audi Quattro. This and the RS200 made Group B something else.

1983-audi-quattro-dark-red.jpg

 

 

1986 Toyota Corolla AE86. I'm forever wondering why R* decided to only give us a coupe version of the Futo.

Nissan Z31 (300ZX MK1). I love both 300ZX's but I always end up leaning more towards the first one, don't know why.

3rd gen Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. I love the Iroc Z and Trans Am equally but I've always liked Pontiac more than Chevy.

VW Corrado. I've always really liked these for some reason. WTF is on the hood of that R32 in the back :blink:.

He could've kept it the same color as the rest of the car though :D.

 

The site won't let you post pictures that come from certain websites, you're best just looking for an eligible one off of google images.

Can't believe I forgot this. :( Chevrolet Corvette C4

48383.jpg

Too bad the ZR-1 came out no earlier than '90 or I would've posted it.

 

This Venturi Coupe 260 SPC barely makes it as an "80s" car, but it's too cool not to post.

11_Venturi-260.jpg

From what I could understand (the only info I found is in French), it sports a turbocharged 2.8L V6, managing 300 ft lbs of torque. It also has 260 "puissance maximale" - not sure what that is, but I'm guessing it's horsepower. Not too bad.

cizeta_1.jpg?itok=e_k_gSxa

I haven't been in this thread in a while, I have to protest your choice on a technicality. I love the car, but it is in the wrong thread.

 

The Moroder came out in 94. The Diablo isn't an option either. Sorry. Love the car though.

 

 

Would love this if only for the quirkyness

I like cars of the 1980s, in my opinion, it was the last decade when design actually meant something, and designers were free to express their visions. Since 1990s things have changed, for worse of course, one of the main reasons might be fact that cars are designed with cold bytes of a computer, instead of warm and passionate heart of a designer. I liked very very few new cars in 1990s, but 2000s are the worst.

My favourite 80s car:

My baby, called "Emmelie". Everyone has got alloys on their CRX. Mine is probably the only one here with steelies like this. Notice the absence of the counterweights on the outside of the wheels ? I balanced the rims as if they were alloys: The weights are all on the inside.

Here are the promised pictures of the 1984 CRX which a mate and I picked up yesterday. Only done 110.000 kms and rust-free...

I drove is yesterday from Chemnitz, near the German-Czech border to our garage, about 500kms and I must say that it drove like a new car. Not bad going for 31 years, ehh ?

^That's f*cking wicked! Mad respect, K1FFLOM.

 

OT: I love the 5 Series E34. It's hard to believe this came out in 1987! It's so simple looking yet so sexy.
