Not a fan of the '90s. IMO this was a decade of extremely BORING car design. Not many cars in this decade attracted my attention. Here are a few I can think off that really looked good and still do.


Mercedes W210 E-Class





Mercedes CLK C208





Mitsubishi Galant VR4/GTI




Mitsubishi Pajero Super Exceed





Mitsubishi FTO





Chevrolet Caprice Classic





Ford Crown Victoria LTD

Ford Crown Victoria LTD

An 80s design that carried over into the very early 90s (the 90s Crown Vic was introduced in '91) doesn't count.

[Madman]

1996 Audi A4.  The car that saved Audi's bacon in North America.  Still looks good today!

Impossible for me to list just one. The 90's and 60's are my favorite eras of sports cars. Lamborghini hadn't become ugly yet. Japan was at the top of it's game in sports cars and BMW's still looked good. And the belt lines didn't go over your head and we had pop-up headlamps still. It was the best of times.

To tell you the truth, I hate almost all modern cars. And I hate working on them even more then the ones back then.

[Secret Chimp]

Why the 7? I never thought much was ever going on with that design.

Didn't that come out in 89?

Its the CSi. The not-official M version.

The 7 looked great, just not as good as the 5 of that era.

[Onslaught]

I think the 3,5 and 7 all looked great back then.

[Raza]

I think the 3,5 and 7 all looked great back then.

Yeah, me too.  But I like all the 3ers up to the F30. 

[MexicoCityM3]

Yeah, me too.  But I like all the 3ers up to the F30. 

The F30 is almost identical to the E90 from all angles but the front. And from the front the new one looks very good (to me) in M-Sport.

Yeah, but I see the front and it just pisses me off at how stupid looking it is. 

[SVT666]

The new one looks way better than the previous 3er with those ridiculous drooping headlights.

[Cookie Monster]

Wow, how did I forget the NSX? Definitely the best looking '90's car.

[MX793]

Didn't that come out in 89?

Didn't the Z32 300ZX and 964?

[MX793]

Wow, how did I forget the NSX? Definitely the best looking '90's car.

I was going to list it, but for some reason I thought '89 was the first year for it.

Thats a good list! Imma throw the 1999 Z28 on that list!

Sorry man, but I just can't agree with the Geo Storm.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Sorry man, but I just can't agree with the Geo Storm.

Those were the 1993-1997 models. 1998 models were face lifted!

[SVT666]

Those were the 1993-1997 models. 1998 models were face lifted!

Oh right.  But they were still kinda ugly.

[Vinsanity]

NSX and 8-series defninitely.

To which I would add:









and what the heck, I liked how these looked, too...

[Onslaught]

Damn it, how could I have forgot to add the Lexus SC? Still a great looking car.

[Raza]

I don't know man.  Sometimes I see the SC and think "Man, that looks good" and sometimes it's "Man, that looks terrible", like in that photo.  It's small car styling on a big car, I think.  Or big car styling on a small car.  Something's off.

I didn't think the '98 face lift was much of an improvement.  Made the car just look bloated.  The Firebird looked better than the Camaro for that generation (especially post-facelift).
