Aww Fox that's adorable, the bandit T/A was a 1977 not a 1976. '76 was the year for the 50th anniversary edition cars (the first black and gold ones). I would say, '77 TA, Karmann Ghia, 2002tii, 240Z, Land Cruiser. I'm 18 so I don't fall into either of their categories so my opinion doesn't count.

Sorry, sorry I know what they are, I was unclear I can see now.
I meant that my answer to all of the questions was always the Boomer choice.

That makes sense. I agree except the Karmann Ghia. It's the clear winner here so far, but it doesn't do anything for me.

Well...I think I'd rather have the 4runner too. The 60's Land Cruisers were cool, but why not just get a Jeep?

Boomer all the way (even though I'm not a boomer...)

We agree save for the Ghia. What's the allure?

I think it counts. Just another perspective.

Passed a few of them every time I went to school. Started to really like the shape. Plus Ghia is one of my favorite designers (Chrysler, especially the Turbine Car). Plus, I've seen this.

Kinja'd!!!

Interesting. I get Ghia, just not the Karmann. The one above is pretty neat though...minus the Baja exhaust. Thanks for answering.

You for recognizing how hard #3 is? Equally hard for some might be Alpha Giulia vs. Alpha GTV6

72 BMW 2002

Forget all the other cars on the list, the only one worth owning is the GTO.

Well, I love the looks of the Karmann. Saw it a few times in person and it really stood out. I also love the fact that it's just a beetle in a dress. I like how it's slow, but that means it's just easy to manage and a relaxed ride.
The Land Cruiser I just like the look, with the roof maybe even better than a Jeep.

Wise choices.
