I'll take the Starlet. I used to see them a lot in my country, and as a kid I always found them charming despite their minimalistic contours. I found the rear to be sporty too. The 80 Series models are just some of the best-looking economical hatchbacks in their era for me. I heard that they're quite a hoot to drive quickly as well.

The Alfa 145, despite the unique styling, is simply not one of the quintessential Alfas, and for want of an Alfa, I'd prefer something else other than the 145. For an Alfa Romeo, it's just not attractive enough to be highly desirable. The Geo Prizm, although a well-proportioned thing, is a bit bland, making me think of white goods. The Corsa looks adorable but it's not as charming as the Starlet for me.
 
550, even though most will think it's a kit.

Alfa, because the name isn't as crap-tastic as the others.

^ As a fan of all of these cars, the choices lacks detail. So this confuses me a bit... :indiff:
^ To follow up my confusion, here are my reasons:

GTO - My primary choice the '06 6.0 MT. Still the best muscle car I've driven yet. But my major drawback to this version of the Monaro is the relocation of its fuel tank:

G8 - The GXP MT is love at first sight. The aftermarket potential is huge on this one! But the sleepy factor is lacking, plus the GXP is so rare their value in the used car market will continue to be unchanged or even worse, rise.

Super Sport - The 2015 MT is the sweet spot. Maybe the last of its kind in the US (RWD + Sedan + N/A V8 + MT) or maybe worldwide! I can consider this car as one of the unobtainium cars you can get brand new!

^ So due to these reasons, I'll opt the Chevy SS. At least I can order it now the way I wanted and how I wanted!

Porsche 718 RSK Spyder

or

Porsche 718/8 W-RS Spyder
^ I have a bad feeling that I won't be able to fit in any of these greats.

-> But out of this group, I may go for the 718/8 W-RS Spyder. I may look like Big Bird on it, but hey! I used to own an S2000 so I'll be used to it! :lol:

^ The Alfa is a bit tempting. But I'd go with the Starlet hands down! It looks like a toy, plus the potential of it is HUGE! Imagine, just do a 4A-GE Silver Top swap with a brake kit and some subtle suspension mods and it will be a smile-inducing hot hatch! :)

I'll take the Datsun ID 510. I'd really love a modern reinterpretation of the 510, and that one looks very well-made.

918. It shows the ultimate evolution of Porsche supercars since the 959. The CGT is literally a death machine.
