A W126 Mercedes S Class still looks like old money as long as it is un-molested and in mint condition. It says, "This is the best car ever made, the very pinnacle of German engineering. It was good enough for my grandfather and my father and is good enough for me.
The mid-late 80's Toyota Cressida had a dash lovingly referred to as "Tokyo by Night."
As a kid, the digital dash on the Subaru XT Coupe was the height of cool!
Cadillac XLR Base price when new $101,300.00 You can buy them all day long for $29,000 today.
The provenance of this vehicle as the last of the E23 series makes this a "Nice Price" for me. While the interior looks to be in good condition, I would be more worried about the 142,000 miles.
The maintenance costs would probably eat me alive, but I would love to own a pristine example of a 1995 Porsche 928 with 67 miles on the odometer.
Although it is not new. There really is only one choice... A 1996 Buick Roadmaster Limited Estate Wagon!
The gondola car Roger Moore drove across St. Mark's Square in Moonraker. Easily the most ridiculous gadget/car in the whole series.
I am inclined to agree that the A4 and definitely the A5 is a wankers car, and possibly even the A7 but the A8 is not common here in the states, and it really is the classiest of the large German Sedans. I would have it over a 7 Series or S-Class any day.
It is a real chicken or egg conundrum then isn't it. Does the douche define the car? I think the A8 is the classiest of the large German sedans but if it a douche buys it does that make it less classy?
The "C" pillar shape makes me think this might be a late 90's Chevrolet Prizm but I don't they ever came from the factory with rear deck-lid spoiler.
If someone will be driving you it doesn't get any classier than this...
If we are talking classic classy I submit for your approval this vehicle:
If it is a current automobile you don't get much classier than this:
I have a deep affinity for the late 80's Alfas as well including the Milano and the later 164 for similar reasons. Before I went to college in the summer of 88 I sold cars for about 4 months at a Chevrolet/Alfa Romeo dealership. I never sold a single Alfa (I did sell a lot of crappy Camaro's Cavalier's and…
I am inclined to agree with you. The 3rd generation Spider Veloce was actually the prettier car because it didn't have all the add-on skirts & spoilers, but if you wanted the larger wheels and the hard-top you had to go with the Quadrifoglio. As for the bumbers they were federally mandated so even the base 3rd gen…
My vote after Lindsay (Porsche Wrecker) Lohan goes to George Michael. The guy drove a Range Rover through a store in London... and was once banned from driving in Britain for 2 years...
I have been quite curious about the Mercedes 600 Pullman Limousine for some time. It was discontinued around the time I was born, but it has such a fascinating history, and reflects the obsession Mercedes has always had with technology and over-engineering. I hear they are notoriously expensive to keep running, but I…
I live in Charleston, South Carolina, and The Range Rover Sport is a good representation of the city. The name has a lot of history, it is appealing to both young and old money. It is very nice, but also overpriced and not very efficient, and things don't always work they should. These attributes apply equally to…
Gotta go with the Toyota Paseo Convertible. A mediocre car to begin with made even worse by cutting the roof off.
