I went out to dinner, at Red Lobster... it was fine I guess. Anyway my kid helped me direct the conversation to cars! He asked every one what car they’d have out of each decade. Most people don’t have answers, I did. Here’s mine.
He started with 1960 so, 1966 Barracuda Formula S
1970s 914-6
1980s: 1987 CRX Si
1990s: G1 Talon TSI
19.. no 2000s:e39 M5 in Oxford Green.
2010s: BMW 1M an Orange one Obviously.
I suppose you could answer this with all Vettes, but at least they won’t be the C8. That thing is ugly.

Allow me to chime in:
60s: 1969 Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 (W115)
70s: 1979 Mercedes 450SEL 6.9 (V116)
80s: 1987 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
90s: 1994 Renault Safrane Biturbo Baccara
00s: 2006 BMW 325i 6A (Arctic Metallic)
10s: 2016 Ford F-150 XLT Sport 2.7 SuperCrew
My mind works in mysterious ways. That 1 Series M in Valencia Orange is easily in the top 5 for the 2010s.

Are there rules here? I feel like my list would be all exotics, but that’s clearly not in the spirit of your answers...

Your first choice is a bit curious, seeing as how 1972 isn’t quite in the 1960s.

I just edited it before I even read your reply . I wrote this while driving the ‘72 in Forza.

Ok tbh I thought the 6.3 didn’t get into the 300SEL until 1970.

The 6.3 was ‘68 to ‘72, actually.

It’s what ever you like. I like more “normal “ cars. My dream garage would have maybe 2 Exotics in it. They just aren’t my bag.
The two I’d have would be. Purple Diablo, and A Yellow DeTomaso Pantera

I had to look up that Renault, seems a cool DD. decent sized 4 door lift back, with plenty of power. I like it. I also found out there was a coach built wagon that looks kinda sick. And about as 90s as a freaking IMac G3.

My ideal Mazda collection:
1967 Mazda Cosmo
1974 Mazda RX-3 with four rotors up front
1988 Mazda 323 GTX (I miss mine)
1999 Mazda RX-7
2002 Mazda Miata (mine is the best)
2013 Mazdaspeed 3 for some daily driving practicality

I love those 323 GTXs such a cool small car. I’d love to have one, I bet they are lots of fun on small dirt roads.
Why not make the NB a Mazdaspeed.

My GTX was phenomenal on snow, that’s what I miss most about it. Wish I had had the bank account to completely restore it.
Because my NB isn’t a Mazdaspeed :) it will have a K24 in it next year though!

Sweet car!
