I just gave you $300,000! You have to pick an American, German, and Japanese car, and one must be front drive, one rear drive, and one all wheel drive. My choices are as follows:

An American front-drive car, the Cord 812 Phaeton.

A German all-wheel-drive car, the Audi S8.

And finally, a Japanese rear wheel drive car, a Toyota Supra.

What would you pick?

Lamborghini Balboni Gallardo, mid-engine rear wheel drive European car. About $160k according to this website of for sale listings.

FWD: Probably ought to be the Japanese car. (tough decision could have swung for Focus ST)

The next generation Honda Civic Type-R I just watched that ridiculous commercial for (probably about 35k)

AWD: I'm going to modify this to 4WD and go 'Murican.

Shelby Raptor on the FP (125k ouch)

RWD: Since I've barely spent 100k, we are going to go big with this German RWD car

2011 Porsche 911 GT3 (around 125k with some mileage)

German awd: pre-2012 Mercedes G55 AMG

American rwd: '68 Dodge Super Bee

Actually there are quite a few late 60's early 70's muscle cars I'd gladly take.

Japanese fwd: Honda Integra Type-R dc2

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > 55Buick, Oversteer Scientist 06/25/2014 at 17:39

An RWD American, the Cadillac CTS VSport:

An AWD German, the Mercedes G63 AMG:

And a FWD Japanese car, the Mitsubishi Galant, because why not, it's not real money.

I wanted to go a similar route but I wasn't sure if non-us civics would count.

Oops, forgot about that. They're owned by Volkswagen though so good enough?

American FWD:

1966 Oldsmobile Toronado

Japanese RWD:

Mazda Cosmo

German AWD:

Audi Quattro

If they're not totally mint and not bought at auction, they should just hit $300k or so, with most of that in the Mazda.

It was too bad that it was such a pain to drive, because it looked very nice, was manual, and I could have got it for a song.
