Mostly for me it's going to be the American supercars of the mid-60's. There are a few others in the mix, the 2011 Mustang and some Corvettes to name a couple. But mostly the mid-sized supercars of the '64 to '67 era. Could also include some of the later 50's classics as well.

Hate to say it, but the TL has a lot of road prescence. Never been a fan of its styling, but I don't think anyone can deny that it looks intimidating, especially compared to cars of its class.
The Evo X, because of that huge gaping maw in front, and of course the large rear spoiler. Certainly stands out.
I think the Hyundai Sonata also has a fair bit of road prescence, especially considering it's a midsize family sedan. It's got a ton of body lines/curves.
Challenger/Camaro has more road prescence than the Mustang I find, unless you're talking about the GT500 or Boss 302 or any other high-end Mustang.

That's a difficult question to answer. Being a car aficionado, there are simply too many to choose from. I started making a list but gave up.

Guess im a snob, i dont notice too many non exotics.
Hell its hard to spot an M, AMG, CTSV, RS, among the rest of the lesser trims unless you really looking for them. I dont consider that road presence.
GTR has road presence, can spot that beast a mile away. NSX as well.

I realized a little later that my question was too broad indeed. I meant to say what kind of vehicles, excluding exotics, have the most road presence for you?
Can be muscle cars/ new ones trucks etc...

C6 doesn't do much for me 
I think the wider fenders on the Z06 make all the difference though, that car looks much more meaner.

Difficult question if you can't include supercars.
I'd say the new Camaro....
