A first-gen Integra liftback and Z31 300ZX could have made the list, and probably a few more. The point of the image was to show several takes on the quintessential 1980s fastback/liftback/hatchback, and what a popular style it was at the time. Not just any two-door (or three-door) 1980s cars.
It's amusing that it became an enduring meme.

1. Overall, the Porsche 928 has the least similarities to the other cars in the picture. The roofline might still be similar to the other cars, but the more round shape and the fact the front looks least like one of the other vehicles' in the picture.
2. That's a difficult one. The cars look relatively similar to each other, so very few stand out as the most 'fun-to-drive-looking'. In fact I'd say that it's easier to point to the cars that look least fun to drive. The Charger doesn't look particularly interesting to drive due to its wheels, and the Escort (and the Accord) look more like everyday hatchbacks, most likely because they are. As does the Corolla, with its almost Lada Samara-ish rear end. Although I'm not even sure you can even point such a car out as looks don't necessarily say whether a car is fun to drive or not. Knowing more about these cars, I'd probably say the 944, but it doesn't really look any more fun to drive than the Starion.
3. While I haven't really heard anything particularly great about the Escort, there's even less great (or even neutral) things I've heard about the Daytona.
5. 928. Not that I'd buy any of those in red.

1. Escort.
2. SA22C RX-7.
3. Daytona. It's chassis is a variant of the K-Car platform. Enough said.
4. 3rd generation Camaro. Don't understand the hate with the sole exception of the weak as hell Iron Duke.
5. Very, VERY hard choice between the SA22C and FC RX-7 (they're both two of my favorite cars of all time), but I eventually settled for the FC because it had the option of a turbocharger.

1. Which coupe is the most unique or different in your opinion, blending in the least?
Ford Escort. It's too boxy to fit in with the rest.
2. Which coupe looks the most fun to drive?
Toyota Supra. Even stationary it looks like it wants to slide.
3. Which coupe is the worst, or the biggest heap of junk?
Dodge Daytona. Just... no.
4. Which coupe is your guilty pleasure?
None of them. I'm not ashamed about any of the ones I like. I think the Daytona is the only one I don't like.

Ooh, that's a tough one. It's a toss up between the Mazda FB RX-7, Toyota Supra and Porsche 944.

Tie between the 928 & SA22C....because they were designed in the mid 1970s.
2. Which coupe looks the most fun to drive?
Having driven almost all of these, SA22C by far. Aside from the vague steering, the chassis has phenomenal balance and the straight axle keeps things lively.
3. Which coupe is the worst, or the biggest heap of junk?
Daytona & Mustang. My Mustang (a 91 to be fair) was easily the worst car I ever owned.
4. Which coupe is your guilty pleasure?
FC3S. I want one. Black turbo II model with upgraded BNR turbo + tune, period correct body kit & Ronal turbo wheels. K thanks.
5. Which coupe would you buy if you were forced to buy just one? (in the poll)
I've owned a fox Mustang and still own an SA22C. I would love to own an FC RX-7 (see above) as it's just about the most 80s car this side of a Ferrari Testarossa. I would only drive at night listening to things like this:
