1984 Suzuki Cultus Turbo Sprint (SA310) vs 1985 Isuzu I-Mark; I think just for the looks alone, I would go for the I-Mark.

Mitsubishi Pajero vs. Nissan Pathfinder; The Pajero, I had a slight liking towards this since I was younger and I always found the Pathfinder a bit boring for some reason.

Saab 9-2x vs Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX; The Saab 9-2x looks a lot better than the Eclipse imo, it's also a bit more practical being a wagon, and I also pick it since it has AWD rather than FWD.

I take the Eclipse for 2 reasons: A. Fast & Furious 1; and B: It's not an Impreza wagon trying to pass off as a Saab.
 
Magic.

Don't like Saab's and when I first saw it, I looked like the shape of a WRX wagon.

Love the Eclipse. Give me the Eclipse.

Daewoo. Hmmm... I'd have it if I could destroy it for the fun of it.
 
NSU Sportprinz vs. Saab 92; I think I'll go with the NSU for the same reason as GT916 choose it.

Lenco Bearcat (Civilian Ver) vs Conquest Knight XV; I think I'll go with the Knight since it's looks a bit more unique than the Bearcat (the front looks like a Ford F-250/350).

To be honest though, none of those vehicles listed I like at all. I can't see my self driving something that looks like that old saab or some big, armored truck unless I got a job where I had to do it.

With that said, here's a WYR that's more along the kind of cars I like:

2008 Renault Megane Sport

2008 Ford Focus ST Mk.II

I'll have the Porsche 911. :sly:

(the Opel Astra pic shows a 911 in case it shows the correct picture for you)

Seriously though, I'd have the Mazda. It's the best looking to me and likely the most fun.
 
Renault Megane Sport vs. Ford Focus ST vs. Opel Astra OPC vs. Mazda Mazdaspeed 3 - This is pretty hard. I'm gonna go with the Mazdaspeed.

Results:
1. Mazda Mazdaspeed3
2. Opel Astra OPC
3. Renault Megane Sport
4. Ford Focus ST
 
Mazda 3 MPS.

The Focus XR5 Turbo's an incredibly nice car and it has a great soundtrack, but for sheer pace it simply cannot compete with the MPS. I like the RenaultSport Megané but for where I am which favours more long stretches of road and sweepers than super twisty B-roads, power and torque is king over outright cornering velocity.

Besides. I respect any car that, stock standard, can keep pace with my modified WRX in a 3rd gear pull. :)
 
Renault Megane Sport vs Ford Focus ST vs Opel Astra vs Mazdaspeed 3 - The Opel is dull, both in appearance and feel. The Ford is too popular, far too many people have it in London. The Renault is... a Renault. And finally, the Mazda is a little cheap. I will take the Mazda because it's the most interesting one there, but very few hot hatches appeal to me. A good hot hatch doesn't go by unnoticed, but there are so many of them that I just can't get interested in.
