Morris Marina

or

Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet

or

Toyota Camry

I'll actually take the Murano, it looks fun to throw around! The Camry is just too boring and ugly for me to like and the Marina is unbelievably unattractive, so Murano it is.

Round 5 of 5: Import Sportswagons.

3GEN Subaru Legacy GT-B E-Tune

WGNC34 Nissan Stagea 25t RS Four

EC5W Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4

ST246 Toyota Caldina GT-Four "N-Edition"

I will take the Stagea, it could be fun to modify. I don't like estates, so modifications would be the best part about owning one. I also quite like the styling, it reminds me of the old Lexus bug eyes.
 
Morris Marina/Austin Marina/Leyland Marina/Morris 1700 vs. Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet vs. Toyota Camry/Holden Apollo/Toyota Scepter/Toyota Vienta - The only sensible one there.

Results:
1. Toyota Camry
2. That crossover thing
3. That old thing

Subaru Legacy GT-B E-Tune vs. Nissan Stagea 25tRS Four vs. Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4/Mitsubishi Galant vs. Toyota Caldina GT-Four N-Edition - Legacy, but that's biased.

Results:
1. Subaru Legacy GT-B E-Tune
2. Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4
3. Toyota Caldina GT-Four N-Edition
4. Nissan Stagea 25tRS Four

And now for your underpowered and what-some-people-find-ugly-'70s-muscle-car fix of the day.


1977 Chevy Nova SS 5.7L V8

1977 Ford Mustang Mach 1 5.0L V8

Smog-era Muscle: I'll have the Mustang. Unlike about 98% of car people, I actually like the looks of the Mustang II. And plus it's far rarer than the Nova, considering I've only seen 2 or 3 II's and I've seen countless late 70's Nova's.

NYC Taxis: My choice depends on what I would be using the car for. If I used it for what it was actually designed for (being a taxi) I'd have the Nissan NV200 because it has a ginormous interior that even I could fit in, and also when a normal person has the choice of going with either a Crown Vic or the Nissan, they're probably going to go with the Nissan because it looks more inviting, as well as having a far bigger interior. The Nissan will get better gas mileage, and their is no arguing against that. And lastly, it has a glass roof, which is just cool.

If I was using one of them as my normal cars, though, I'd get the Checker. It's a classic, and the others just....aren't.
 
That's a hard one but I will go for the BMW since it looks a little better and is probably rarer in the UK than the Escort.
 
So a fairly easy win for the Legacy GT-B takes it into the final, which starts riiiiight here:

Heat 1 - SW20R Toyota MR2 GT Turbo - AU$6500

Heat 5 - Subaru Legacy GT-B E-Tune - AU$14,950

Included the prices this time which may help sway some people's decisions, however they are all pretty close except for the MR2.
