Boardjnky, no way. That prelude looks dated as hell IMO. JayS, the ef was a personal thing I had to toss in. 🙂 I agree with newman, for example; the e36 m I posted came around in 94 but stuck around post obd2. Let’s keep it obd1 and older. If the style sticks around post obd2, it shouldn’t count. ---

it’s all personal opinion maxwell. The prelude has a classic shape and lines though. ---

Every time I see an old Firehawk a little voice in my head that sounds suspiciously like Michael Keaton says “I’m Batman”. ---

Definitely agree with the FD RX-7 but FC’s are still pretty cool IMO too. Sure they pale in comparison to the FD but I’m not saying I wouldn’t drive one. ![http://www.mazdarotary.net/images/feature_cars/jamesfc/100-0045_IMG.jpg](http://www.mazdarotary.net/images/feature_cars/jamesfc/100-0045_IMG.jpg) And 240SX’s ![http://image.automotive.com/f/tech/14900768+pheader/sccp_0903_01_z+project_s13+nissan_240sx.jpg](http://image.automotive.com/f/tech/14900768+pheader/sccp_0903_01_z+project_s13+nissan_240sx.jpg) ---
