I think the Buick and Oldsmobile look the best, though.  :mrcool:
I agree!

Not surprising given that buick and oldsmobile are/were more premium than chevrolet/pontiac.  My uncle had an oldsmobile delta 98 regency.  I loved that car.  It was huge and had these super soft plushdark blue velour seats.  I could never figure out the difference between buick and oldsmobile.

No, because the '90s produced nothing but anonymous jellybean-shaped cars that all looked the same.

Saw one yesterday when I was walking around my hometown (getting my mom's car to pick them up from the restaurant we took her to for Mother's Day).  It was that light brown/dark champagne color.  Nice.

I'm always torn on the whale of a rear spoiler that beautiful porsche has.  Do I like it, do I not.  Do I like it, do I not.  Does it give balance or does it look stupid.  On any other car i can think of, that large a spoiler would look so dumb.

Some of the best looking sports cars of all time came out of the 90's. And most 90's family cars look better then the high belt line shit of today.

Not the early-to-mid 90s.

Peugeot 405.  You can't beat Pininfarina styling.  If only modern Peugeots looked half as good.






Sterling 825/827.  Only the British can make a Honda unreliable but damn it looked good!
