2014 Buick Verano Turbo
or
2015 Ford Focus ST
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!
Superbird..
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.
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.

Hmm...
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 hate Brabus and my inner 'Murican is just Hellcat so it'll be my choice.

604, easily.
The Peugeot again.
4TC. It's so ugly, beautiful, and interesting at the same time.
605. The XM is too blocky.
Peugeot wins here too.

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?

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
(That rear end is starting grow on me... a combination of Z4 and Ftype... little tight end)
