Mazda Miata (NA)

OR
Peugeot 205 GTI

205 GTI for the reasons listed below:
1. The answer is not always Miata
2. I love hot hatches
3. It's one of the best hot hatches (up there with the MK1 Golf GTI)
 
205. I had one briefly (the 1.6 not the 1.8 :guilty:) but I wrote it off after some exuberant driving. I was a bit of a boy-racer then. Hot hatches FTW.
 
Peugeot 205, more practical to live with than the MX-5 and Peugeots are rare in the US.

Okay, I have one more WYR that has to do with car movies and then I'm done.

1963 VW Beetle "Herbie" from well...the Herbie movies.

Lancia Scorpion "Giselle" from "Herbie Goes to Montecarlo"

Personally, I would have Giselle.

Can't pick just one so I'll pick one from each genre:

Herbie because he looks particularly beefy in that shot (I hate pizza cutter tires on Bugs).
The Car because The Car.
 
I'll have the Lancia. Sure it has too many problems to name, but look at it!

Herbie is a car I would like to make for myself, The Car also reminds me of an episode of Futurama.

Couldn't have said better myself.

That episode was when Bender was a "werecar" isn't it?
