But I agree. My childhood favorites were always AMGs, Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghini, and the like! Its good fun playing with Mustang GTs, Camaros and Firebirds in the dads SL. Showing them sophistication, refinement, and elegance.
I love how american muscle shift hard, and the driver is thrown around, while I have nice smooth shifts. Ahhh, refinement!

Even though I have 30 years on you Justin, our sentiments are the same. Every kid in my high school wanted a Trans Am or some other piece of crap. I drove a 1965 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce. I always thought the European especially German stuff was the best engineered and best built and had the best styling.
Even though the Duster blew away the M3 in a straight line, if it ever came to a real road race the M3 would blow the Duster away, and I don't think they ever made a Duster that could hold a candle to the styling of the M30 body M3. Even now I look back at some of the first of the Japanese luxury cars particularly the Infinti and see how dated their styling looks compared to even VW's designs of the same time and the VW's look more timeless.
I always thought the executives at Chrysler during the 60s and 70s had a contest going on in the design department to build the world's ugliest car. The early Plymouth Belvedere comes to mind and the SuperBee is another one. How ugly can you get? |
