Your favorite semi-classic?
Inspired my madcaps recent purchase of an '86 535i, what's your favorite car from that era? Too new to be considered a classic, but old enough to be worth restoring.
My favorites:
Triumph Dolomite Sprint
Lancia Delta Integrale
E30 M3
Audi Quattro
Mk1 GTI
2nd Gen Camaro. My French teacher bought one of these new and to this day it's still his DD.

We already know what classic i love. E24 M6 or 635 euro.
Hmm i cant think of many cars I want from the 80s besides the exotics. Was that the worst decade for cars?

Three Wheelin'
The aforementioned E24 M6 is near the top ('86 shown)
x 2 on the Conquest/Starion
One of my favorite cars I've ever owned, the 1993 Ford Probe GT
1994 Porsche Turbo
And who didn't want to be the "Bandit" ('75 TA shown)
I could probably go on forever...

Offhand, my choices would be:
1986 Ford Taurus-milestone machine
1985 Ford Mustang GT-last of the carburetors
1986 Ford Mustang SVO-last of the series, and the most powerful
1986 Buick Grand National-first of the intercoolers, and arguably the definitive muscle car of the eighties
1985 Toyota Supra-horsepower increase and tweaked styling cues

Great thread. Some of my favs, though maybe already mentioned:
BMW 850 CSi
Mazda RX-7
Toyota MR2
Subaru SVX
Porsche 928
Of course the NSX and S2000 go without saying.

Road car or not, it's a slick looking car.
With the black spoiler, I love it.
I don't think this design will ever get old. I miss flip up lights.
My dream car as a kid.
One of my dream cars now
It doesn't really fit in this topic but it is my favorite car.
