Coronet, easily.

GT-R. I've always liked that car for a while now. They're much much rarer than the Porsche, too. Hell I saw two Porsche 911's while out for a couple hours today and I haven't seen a GT-R in weeks.

That's actually a tough one. I'd honestly have to drive them both to make a decision but given my current situation (single, no family to take care of, etc.) I'd go with the Focus. If I had more responsibilities or if I was over 55 y/o I'd go with the Buick.

That's not a Buick!

R1. Well the Saab looks more interesting while the Volvo looks more...realistic. I guess I'll go with the Volvo.

R2. 240. Always liked that car.

R3. Saab, I guess. It looks more interesting. Can't think of anything redeeming, really.

R4. Volvo, I guess.

R5. Easily the Saab. Cool looking car.

While I like the California and don't particularly care about the 911, I don't like it enough to take it over two classic super/sports cars. Ferrari + Porsche it is.

Combo round: tough one, but I think I choose the Porsche.
1. 911
2. Testarossa
3. California

I think you've misunderstood the question. It's the 911 & Testarossa or the California. Judging by your results, though, I'm guessing you'd have the 911 and Testarossa.
 
Saabs vs Volvos;
Round 1 - I would pick the Volvo
Other Rounds - I would pick the Saabs

Porsche 993 Turbo vs Ferrari 512 TR vs Ferrari California; Porsche 991 Turbo! I love that generation of the 911 so much, that model is what got me interested in Porsches in the first place.

Focus ST vs Buick Verano: The Focus ST because well... It's not a Buick Verano... Plus I like the ST anyway.

Superbird vs Daytona: Daytona, dunno why I just always thought they looked cooler.

Saab vs Volvo, 1: The 96, always thought those looked cool.

2: I guess the Saab, the Volvo is just so bleh.

3: Saab, for the same reason.

4: Annnnd again

5: Annnnnnnnnd once more.

993 Turbo and Testarossa vs California: Hell I'd be happy with just the 993 Turbo, so with the Testarossa it's an easy choice.

M Coupe vs Subaru: Guess I'd go with the Subie, love the GC8.

Grabbed these off of a Classic German cars photo gallery. I know nothing about them, but I'm taking the Merc, because it's a Merc.

Although I think this is a ridicoulous WYR because they have nothing in common except the country, but I'll take the Porsche easily.

I love the Beemer but I love the Subie more so Subie it is :D. @GranTurismo916
 
I purposely ignore the classic american muscle car comparo... cant decide which one id rather have... so none.


The Verano vs. Focus comparo is a strange one... i dont like Buick, then or now, so without hesitation: FOCUS !


GT-R or 911 4S ???
Tough choice...
I love the 911, but i would prefer the RWD... so i guess in this specific situation... GT-R!

60s swedish: Volvo 544
80s swedish sedns : Volvo 240 because a tank!
90s compact: Saab 900
00s wagon: Volvo V70
Modern sedans: 9-5 for the rarity... but the S80 for the V8 with open exhaut... tough choice too..


993 + Testarrossa > California...

Actually i will just take the 993 alone, my most favorite 911 of all time!




Z3M coupe !!!! Aka the clown shoe !!! With no hesitations

What did i win?
 
They're both AWD.

I know... thats why i said i would have prefer a 911 in RWD form... sorry for misunderstanding.

Since they are both AWD, then i pick Godzilla...



I am not fond of convertible cars, so i will pick MX-5 :P
(That rear end is starting grow on me... a combination of Z4 and Ftype... little tight end)
