The most perfect examples of Old School and New School Combined from the Factory

Merkur?? What the heck is that?

Edit: Oh, found it. It's just a rebadged Ford Sierra. What's so "cult" about it?

So, what's with the poll then? And it's missing the 2000s...

My appointed car is the RUF CTR a.k.a. yellow bird.

Old school: It's a 911 with an air cooled engine. Need say more?

New school: Being turbo, ultralight weight and ultraperforming was new school in the 80s.

New New school: It will still kick some serious booty if left loose on any "school" play ground today (with a very competent driver, that is).

Note: I highly recommend the article about CTR #001 in "Excellence" magazine this month.

Wiesman takes it over anything ever...

Old School: look at the gorgeous deisgn the car has

New school: M3 under the hood, the lowest profile tires on any car according to Top Gear, amazing chasis

I would have said the new Mustang. But practically everything is old school on that

I'll vote for the Vauxhall Monaro. See also Pontiac GTO... Holden Monaro... etc

Old School: HUGE V8 engine, loosely tuned, reminiscent of the American Muscle from the 60's and early 70's. A fairly old-school design, too... it just reeks old-school.

New School: Handles. A foreign concept for 1960's Americana . It also goes like stink, and is refined (at times ) and very comfortable. Has electric windows, air con, ABS, EBD, etc.

the only reason i didnt put 2000 on the poll is because we haven't really finished a decade within 2000 yet (kinda unfair if i did)

Honda Nsx
old school: RWD, flip up headlights etc
new school: all aluminum body, lightweight with v6 as opposed to fat ass with a v8

uhhhh.... You might want to rethink just about everything you said.

I see, but by doing that you will be missing what i think is the biggest batch of exotics in history. i.e. Zonda, Koenisegg, SLR, Carrera GT, Enzo, etc. not to mention what I consider is the most beautiful sportscar in real life: the F430.

p.s. my vote still goes for the 2000s.
