I love the new Countach but every word you said is absolutely right. The new Countach looks cool but not as cool as the older one. There was no car as much crazy as the old Countach, even today! If I want a crazy looking car, I can go for the Apollo IE. It costs $2.6 million and there are only 10 of those (rarer than the new Countach and still cheaper). Lambo should tweak the Terzo Millenio concept a little bit, forget about safety standards because no one will ever care about it, because it's so crazy that it's not even road legal! Make it a track only! Put a 6.5L NA V12 in it, produce 50 of those (50th anniversary of Countach) and sell them for $10 million each! That would be the real modern Countach!

The 8 Series Gran Coupe is my favourite-looking BMW to date, so I personally appreciate that it has been made to replace the 6 Series. I also really like the look of the new Gran Turismo, it’s characterful like the old one, but in its own way. Most importantly, it’s actually new. The old one will always be a timeless classic, but if the new one came out looking nearly identical, I won’t give it a second look, no matter how pretty it is.

As much as I usually agree with your opinion, I can't say the same about your opinion on the 8 series. The G15 8 series still looks very special on the outside. Especially in black it looks like something you don't wanna mess with. As from the performance point of view? It's absolutely doing the right thing. BMWs especially M cars are generally known for making a lot more power than claimed (hell, just look at the M5 CS that can almost keep up with a new 911 Turbo in a drag race). And even if the E31 came out with an M8 variant that made 700 horsepower, it still would have taken a while to take this thing off the line. That's just how high performance luxury cars worked back in the days. Power isn't everything.

I agree with everything listed except the Countach and M8. The Countach to me represents the best aspects of Lamborghini while standing out visually amongst the uninteresting roster of modern super and hypercars. And unlike it's siblings (Sian and SVJ) it actually looks good and doesn't give me brain hemorrhaging by just catching a fleeting glimpse. It's a faithful hommage to the original, like the 2005 Ford GT or the upcoming 3.0 CSL. As for the M8, while it might not be the most impressive BMW ever made, it's arguably the most beautiful (although the M1 Procar and M5 CS are contenders as well). While I understand that many would have wished for BMW to go all bonkers with a V12 and one trillion hp, that simply wouldn't suit the car at hand and not BMWs current image (well their image before stuff like the iX, G80 M3 or the new 7-Series lol). It's a tasteful GT with a strong powertrain that helps it to keep up with the fierce competition in form of the RS7 and GT63 as well as the Bentley Continental GT and even the Ferrari Roma. Alone the fact that the M8 competes with a Bentley and a Ferrari is definitely impressive and is in line with what you said about the first M8. Is it my favorite car? Definitely not, but it's a very competent, mature and capable car and I'm always pleased when I see one. Although funnily enough most M8s I see are Gran Coupés, I guess four doors are just better for most customers (although I would just take an M5 lol) But that aside, I agree with the rest of the list, although I didn't even know the Dodge Dart was a thing to begin with.

I (and also you, I guess) can never afford one of these dream cars, so it doesn't really matter.

I've driven the 8 Series and its predecessor (640d M Convertible and M6 Convertible). I had much more fun with the new 8 series - and that was (in my case) only a well equipped 840d M convertible. It doesn't need overwhelming power - the more you can push it. Handling was great, luxury as well. Plus: Low fuel consumption - it's a Diesel. I liked the looks of the 8 series concept car, I saw it in person. But the production car is also not bad in my opinion. The name has to be the biggest problem (I've also pointed it out), but the 8 series is the better 6 series. It has nothing really in common with the E31. Just deal with it, that were the old days when BMW just wanted to make the best car in the world.

The only one i disagreed was the Alfa. I personally think it looks really good, but not as good as the concept, so i get your point. As for the rest, the biggest disapointment of the cars you showed is the Maserati Gran Turismo. It doesn't look awful ir ugly by any standard, but it's not "bite-the-back-of-your-hand" beautiful as the previous one. The lost the agression, the sex appeal, and i dare say: from most of the angles, it looks fat. It's not obese, but it's not skinny either. Those MC20 headlights simply don't fit with the front end. And i'm not even talking about the electric Folglore version. Because it's electric, it doesn't need an engine, and because it doesn't need an engine, it doesn't need a cooling system. Still, that's no reason for making the front bumper look absolutely saggy and melted.

I agree for the BMW 8 series, they should have just let the 6 series name and make an 8 series as a competitor for the Aston db11 and Maserati Granturismo... speaking of which, i agree on that as well, and same for the Dodge Dart and for the missed opportunity of a new Alfa Duetto (it would have been glorious with the 4c engine...). Regarding the Countach i think it looks gorgeous, even if the Syàn which is based on looks even more special (more "countachy" if you want), maybe it was just better to complement the name as "Countach Tributo" just to clarify that it was just a limited production model meant as a tribute of the original, instead of being a successor (which is not, that was the Diablo at the time). Hell, Bugatti even did the same thing with the Centodieci. I do not agree for the GTO, the Beetle and the Integra, The GTO was still a cool car and while being a bit blandish that was the only problem, not that it didn't look retro enough... it could have been just a little more "decise" looking to compliment it's roar while remaining modern looking. The New Beetle was a cool tribute in my opinion, it looked modern enough while remembering the idea of the original, even if in my opinion it could have been better if slighty smaller or more "coupe like" to further differentiate it from the Golf from a driving standpoint. And please stop glorifing the old Integra like a rare supercar of some sort, the Integra was super cool but it was just a slightly sportier, more upmarket version of the Civic, and that's exactly what the new model is. The Type-S version isn't even out and people keep complaining that it looks too normal (those people probably never saw the original base Integra models apparently...) or even worse, that it doesn't look like a 20+ year old model... Imho it looks exactly how a more upmarket, Acura branded version of the Civic should look like... Did you expected a monster coupe unique model kind of like a lower tier NSX that people wouldn't even buy? That's not what an Integra is. It's fine if you don't like the new looks but don't just assume that that's not how the Integra should be.

The new GTO wasn’t “based” on the Monaro it WAS a Monaro. The only difference is the front bumper/grill and the name. And the styling was the exact same as the Holden commodores of the time the only difference being the GTO/Monaro was a 2 door. So it never had retro styling simply because the Monaro wasn’t designed to look retro it was designed as a 2 door commodore and had the old Monaro name thrown on it. And was then shipped off over to the states as the GTO and pommy land and badged as a Vauxhall. So yeah it “failed” as a GTO because it was never intended to be one in the first place. It was a 2 door commodore whose name was a throw back to the old Monaro’s of the late 60’s and the 70’s. So yeah not the cars fault as much as it was GM’s lazily slapping the GTO name on an Aussie car.

A car that did get it right was the S2000. A more than fitting tribute to the Honda S cars of the 1960s. I don’t know why that popped into my head, but that would be a good start to a video of manufacturers who got it right.

I actually like the 8 series even though it is more of a 6 series they probably used the name 8 series just for the marketing and the electric quatroporte is not the only electric car wich should be on this list in my opinion the electric demon it now has 4 wheel drive for performance even though it wasn’t a performance car at all and engine noises wich I think is stupid for that car because it wil never sound as good as the petrol one

I HATED the revised Volkswagen Beetle when it came out. It never even started to grow on me even though they left it exactly the same a lot longer than most car companies do. Then they finally change it and it looks like what they SHOULD have made in the first place and … they stop making it after a year or two? And when was the last time they sold a camper van in the United States? They sell them in Europe (and call them the California) but not in the country that invented van life. What are they thinking?

Alfa Romeo is spelt with an “f” rather than a “p” I had the GTV in Australia both the 2 litre and V6. They were popular cars pretty much everywhere in the world except the US where they were not sold. The spider version I think looked great especially in V6 form which the original Spider never had. Sure it was front wheel drive but it was still a very nice car.

The Spider was bold in its design you either loved or hated it. And many loved it and if you see one driving now (a rarity) they are one of a kind. A nice V6, but it did not drive well in a sporty way. In that sense it was like the old one.

They definitely made a 90s ///M8 but disguised it as a normal 850 (designated as the CSL). They came equipped with a 7 liter v12, a getrag 6 speed manual and their VIN IDs started with WBS; which means they were built by BMW's M division. They only made about 1000 of them because just like the modern 8 series, they sold terrible as they were god damn expensive (about 100 grand in 1993).Over the decades they have retained massive resale value as pricey, collector grandpa cars. Only problem is you simply cannot tell by just staring at one. You have to be eagle-eyed or straight up nosey to identify the difference even though they're all cool to look at.

The GTO wasn't just based on the Holden Monaro, it was a Holden Monaro, same engine, same chassis, same interior, same styling and same body, the only difference is the grill, the front bumper and a minor change to the wheels. It is a straight up rebadge just like the Pontiac G8, the Chevy SS and the Pontiac G9 concept, these are all Holdens.

No, the integra shouldn’t have stayed dead. For starters, there actually was an integra sedan sold, plus a Japan-exclusive Type-R sedan. So if there was a performance sedan exclusive to Japan, then the successor should be able to do that worldwide. Besides, the new integra and old integra are both rebadged civics, so it stays in the family. And they could potentially make an integra coupe as well.

I actually like the Integra for a couple reasons. I get why people don't like the new one because it's not completely focused on JDM tuner culture, but then again, that was never the intent. Acura wanted to bring back the Integra as if it never left rather than focusing on the past, and the old recipe is still there. A gussied up Civic with a different body and nicer interior is what the Integra was. Now there may not be a Type R at the moment, but I'm willing to bet there will be. Everything else on this list I agree with, and the Mitsubishi Eclipse also belongs on this list.
