I loved the E30 M3 - that car looks awesome still today.

E36 M3 was boring looking

E46 M3 awesome looking again.

Next M3 - god help us.

I've always liked the older boxier BMWs. The original E28 M5 is still sharp, and especially the E34 model.

The Corvette I'd say has gone from an American-tastes-only kind of car to a real world-class performer in the time alotted.

And just think. The 2 dr. version of the new 3 series, called the 4 series, will be markedly uglier than the 4 dr.

Porsche 911 Turbo would be my first choice. . .

Honda Civic & Toyota Corolla are tied for a close second. . .

The gold back 15 years ago was the worst reliable car made and it still is today.

I think Hyundai takes the cake easily for this. Last reviews I was reading ranking its reliabilty up with Honda.. wow...

It goes back more than 14 years and hasn't been produced every year since it's introduction, but I think the Chevy Impala would get one of my votes for the most "ups and downs".


I love the 59, my favorite Impala with those horizontal fins.

64's are basic but sweet and as you can see popular with the lowriders.

78', the year I was born not the best for the Impala.

96' my second favorite Impala, I love this example shown here.

04', not my cup of tea.

The 96 Impalas were very pimp.

I second Hyundai. They have gone from complete trash to a quite good brand. they have changed their names a lot.

the only same-name car I can think of is the Golf/Jetta, although they still have minor mechanical issues.

The least changed same-name car quality-wise? The Cavalier. They are still crap. BMW 3 for consistent quality.
