    i reacon most of u r missin the point. classics dont have to b old they just are classic ! i cant explain it, certain shapes and designs just are classic or timeless is probably a better word.
    my list would ave to b
    205 gti
    golf mkii
    bmw m3 (e30)
    renault 5
    rx3i
    rs turbo
    lancia delta
    pretty much any hatch of the 80s

    but there is only 2 sports cars of the 80s for me
    tvr v8s
    and the king............ lambo countach!! coz it just says sex drugs n rock n roll all mangled up in a yellow mash 6ft up a lamp post

    The Yugo. Classic
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Lots of cars probably already mentioned (didn't read them all); 944/951, Rx7, 280Z, Celica/Supra, M3, Merc Benz 190 2.3 16v, the aforementioned Alfa, the last of the Tr7's and MGB's, although I think they are the worst of the bunch, 911 (pretty affordable, at least to buy), The last of the US Alpha Spiders, Lancia Delta, Rabbit/GTi, Corrado (or is that 90's?), Renault Turbo 4.

    One or more if I think of more that are rare but very cool, the Mitsubishi Starion/Dodge Conquest. That was a sharp car with some performance, too.

    Another that will likely never approach classic status but is so uncommon in good shape these days is the Dodge Daytona. Not too shabby performance wise, but a bit boring I suppose.

    Uh huh...

    BTW, saw the Yugo again and reminded me - the company behind the Yugo started out selling re-badged Fiat 600s in Croatia back in the 1960s - check out my blog entry about it, if you're interested:
