Chevrolet Lumina Z34 vs. Ford Taurus SHO Mk.II
I'm not much of a fan of the SHO, I always thought it needed AWD, but it isn't a Chevy, so it wins by default.
C36 AMG W202 vs. M3 E36
I don't like the C36 AMG much at all, but if we're talking about the US-Spec E36 I might take it. I couldn't live with the fact that the U.S. version has such an inferior engine in comparison to the Euro-Spec model if I owned one. However, If I had money, I'd do an engine swap with the E36, like the E46's engine (S54 I think). Plus, the E36 may have a watered-down engine in the states, but it has the same chassis- one far superior to that of any AMG of the time. So, even though I'd hate the S50B30 in comparison to the S50B32, (I hope those engine-codes are correct) it's the better car, so I'll take it.
1968 Ford F-100 Ranger vs. 2011 Ford F-150
I'm not interested in trucks, always found them dull, with the exception of the Ram SRT-10, but I find trucks from the late 60s very handsome. The Modern F150, on the other hand, is more comfortable, easier to use, and you won't get funny looks driving it. Eh, screw it, F-100 for the sake of being interesting.
Volvo P210 vs. Volvo Amazon Wagon vs. Volvo 145 vs. Volvo 240 Turbo vs. Volvo 740 GLT Kombi
Never was a fan of the P210, as interesting as it is, so it's automatically out. The 145 is simultaneously handsome yet dull, not to mention slow, so it's out too. The 740 may have a turbo and have a cool name, but it looks really dull in comparison to the 240- and I don't know why, it just seems boring. I really like the Amazon, but it just doesn't have the excitement the 240 Turbo has, and I rarely choose a prettier car over a more exciting one. 240 Turbo it is.
TL;DR
SHO because it's not a Chevy.
E36 M3 because it handles better.
F-100 Ranger as it's more interesting.
240 Turbo because it's exciting.
