Favorite Cars of the 90's: 94-99 Mitsubishi 3000GT(this is one of the best exteriors ever to be designed, its spyder headlights look bad), 95-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse(mitsubishi was on their game again, I remember one of the first times I saw this car I had one word for its look: "Tight"), 1992-1996 Honda Prelude( I hated this car when I first saw it, I liked the late 80's/early 90's Prelude and I thought Honda messed up but eventually the design grew on me) 1991-1995 Acura Legend( One of the most gorgeous luxury cars ever made), 1990-1996 Nissan 300Z( Nissan was on their game in the early 90's until the late 90's when they tried to be a Toyota clone, regardless its exterior styling is timeless),  99-00 Mazda Millenia(refreshed styling between model years of 98/99, thiis is one of the most underrated exterior designs that never got its due), 88-92 Mazda MX-6(mazda like Nissan tried to be a Toyota clone in the late 90's but this design still has held up well), 97-98 Ford Mustang(don't like alot of American Cars but when you like something you like something), 98+ Cadillac STS(One word for this exterior design: beautiful, I would take a girl out in this car), 99+ Chrysler 300M( its headlights are timeless , in 30 years this car will still look good.) Didn't like 96-99 Ford Tarus(ugly), 97 + Pontiac Grand Prix(tacky cladding), 1992-1999 Pontiac Boneville(its just odd looking, Pontiac gets credit for making the most odd looking exterior of the 90's), 92-94 Nissan Maxima(too boxy), 95-00 Nissan Sentra(looked like a roller skate on wheels), 93-97 Toyota Corolla(too boxy), 95-99 Dodge Neon(very awkward looking)

I HATE the Chevy Avalanche !

I don't, unless it's the 2WD models. Then I think you'd be better off with a regular Chevy Crew Cab pickup.

I hate all trucks with dual tires on the back !
End Quote

There's a reason they exist. It's meant for carrying heavier payloads, such as larger campers and towing heavier trailers. I didn't like them either when they first came out(GM first made them in 1973), because along with the grille,  which seemed too much of a throwback to the 1963-66 Chevy Trucks, I thought it was too much of a throwback to when most picups were stepside models.

I used to think the Buick Rendevous was better, but now I think it's just as ugly, if not uglier.

I used to hate the PT Cruiser when it first came out, but I've warmed up to that one. I still wanna know what the PT stands for tho'.

I don't like it too much. I think this whole nostalgia-trend in car design these days is too excessive. Sure there are some nice retro-models, but at this point there's just too much nostalgia-overkill. Whatever happened to automakers having their eyes on the future, instead of the past?

uh, this isn't one of my favorites, but my sister had a "Grenada", and if anyone can tell my what kind of car it was, or whatever, please do so. all I can remember is that it was brown, and that I choked on a piece of watermelon candy as I was getting out one night. oh, and I smashed my finger in the door.

It looks a lot better than the American Ford Granada/Mercury Monarch of the 1970's & early-'80's.

I know this is cheezy, but...

I had a Dodge Neon in 1995, when they were still brand new.  Remember the "HI" ads?  Well, everywhere I went, people kept saying "HI" to my car!! I thought it was pretty funny!

Cheesy? Yes. However they still weren't as cheesy as the original Geo ads with "Getting To Know You".  BTW say hi to your old car for me ::)

Don't know much else except some of the 90's designs were so plain and bland.  I remember the 80's being boxy and razor edged.
End Quote

The 80's razor edged? I don't think so. The 90's were way better than the 80's in terms of styling. I do like some cars of the 80's like the Mitsubishi Starion and the Mazda RX-7 but the 90's were much better I think.

:oI liked the 90'sNEONbecause of the 'smile'grille and headlights,and all the wild colors that were available. The funniest NEON ad?The one where a NEON passes a cornfield,and the corn starts popping! :-*

I loved the look of the 98 Ram Air WS6, the 97+ Corvette, and the 98+ Camaro SS's, even the 96-97 looked good too. I also loved the look of the Nissan 300zx..  And of course the Viper, I've had the opportunity to ride in one of those.. even though my car is faster, the torque in that Viper is no joke..

I'm gonna have to agree with you on the Camaro and the Vette. The Camaro is my favorite car, period.

I also like the look of the Mitsubishi Eclipse, even though I'd never own one...I've talked to people who owned one and they said they always had problems with theirs......

My favorite is 1994 VW Corrado SLC VR6 (and still proud owner), still the fastest; 140mph, quickest; 0-60 6.3 sec 1/4 mil 14.9 @ 98mph, production VW ever produced...and with a few aftermarket mods that I added 8)...well lets just say it ain't slow ;) !!
One of the best handling front wheel drive cars ever made to this day...
Used to autocross it when it was new, SCCA forced it into F & B class prepared with Corvettes, RX-8's and Z car's due to its handling, it was beating up on all the others...

That's my baby...now only if I could get one of those new W8 (VW's V8 engine) to fit under the hood, hmm

That was a cool car, I remeber it never really caught on for some reason.  Maybe ahead of it's time?

There were just a few of us (only 16,000 made for U.S.) who thought it was cool. At the time this was a poor man's Porsche (albeit w/FWD). Porsche helped with the design of the VR6 motor.
It wasn't ahead of it's time, just too much for a VW, in terms of price and performace. The car cost (all optioned out) at $23K in 1992 (when VR6 model released) a bit much for a VW when you could've bought a Acura or Mitsi (or any other car in it's class)for about $4K less. Though it had more power & better handling than them. VW was trying to use it to compete with the 300ZX & highline sports GT, no one really "saw" a VW in that range. Plus parts/modifications for this car were (& beleive me, still are) expensive, as the motor was pretty exotic at the time
When they dropped the same motor (w/less HP, w/lower $$, & cheaper to build) into the GTI there was no reason for the Corrado to exsist, and died a quick death. :(  
BTW the Subaru SVX was cool, but Subaru was wishy-washy on how they marketed it here in the states. It was a sports car, w/no manual tranny and a luxury car that was a little too "different" looking. It never sold like it could of...notice how they learned their lesson now with the WRX & STi.

The thing with the Eclipse(1995-1999) was it had a Dodge Neon engine which led to all the mechanical problems in the lower model trims like the RS. I don't think reliability was bad if you bought an Eclipse in the GSX or GS-T trims. The newer ones I think are more reliable than the mid to late 90's Eclipse's. I wish Mitsu would make the Eclipse back into the pocket rocket it was in the 90's instead of making it a Galant Coupe with the 2000+ Models.

I was a big fan of the Toyota Camry around 1991-92. In November 1991 we were shopping around for a brand-new car for my mom; we test drove some cars (not me; I was only 11 then :)) including 1991 and '92 models of the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry. My parents and I liked the 1992 Camry the best, so we bought one. We still have it today; it has over 248,000 miles on it now. (We did lots of traveling over the past 12-13 years, especially during the 90s, when my parents had long commutes to get to work.)

Mr. Nally, I'm impressed; I find it amazing that your parents' Camry has lasted for 12 years/248,000 miles.....how do they do it?

Well, my mom has always been really good about having it maintained; she takes it in regularly for oil changes, tire rotations, etc.; whatever needs to be done at the appropriate time. :)
