Please include pictures and research the prices. They should be comparable in value.

Silvia v. Silvia
CSP311

The new one never really grew on me and I'd love to own an old Japanese car.
 
Man, the Mustangs and the Zs are a hard choice. But I would go with:

2012 302 Laguna. I like the aggressive looks on that car and you can't go wrong with the red and black theme.

1991 300ZX TT Z32. I had one as a kid, played with it in GT1-GT5 and if I found it at a dealership, that's the car I'm buying as my first car.

Silvia S15 Spec-R. Liked it since the days of GT2 and the Hot Wheels version been eluding me(but I got two now.)

If I had about $27,000-$40,000, I would go to Japan or Australia to buy one and ship it back to the US and legalize it.

Caterham 7 Superlight R300

Or the New Morgan 3 Wheeler

Morgan. Seems a lot more unique than other cars on sale today, and while the Caterham is crazy fast, said version isn't the R500 in this case.

Nissan 300ZX TT (Z32)

Nissan 350Z (Z33)

300ZX. Prefer the looks just over the 350Z and would probably make for a more fun drive to be honest with less technicals holding you up.

Silvia S15

or Silvia CSP311?

Close one. Depending on which spec the S15 is I'd have that, but without it'd be the more classy CSP. The S15 is faster and more enjoyable with the right spec and vice versa.
 
300ZX vs 350Z - Hmm.. difficult for me. Probably the 350Z. There's alot of stuff in the 300ZX that could go wrong.

S15 vs CSP311 - Again its down to parts for when it goes wrong. I wouldn't mind either but i think it would be harder to source parts for CSP311.
 
Scud vs 458 - I would take the Scud. I think it looks better. I love the where the exhausts are. I like the stripes and the more aggressive bodykit. But i would have a 16M instead in yellow with black stripes.

I'm gonna break the chain and say Cayman, since I've never read a review of it that suggests it's anything other than one of the best handling cars you can buy, I love the way it looks, and much as I like TVRs, I like to reach my destination most of the time and they're not known for their ability to achieve that goal.

Also, you're all mental. Much as the Scuderia is awesome, the 430 is probably the least attractive mid-engined Ferrari V8 of all time. It's like someone threw a bunch of half-assed Enzo details at the previously-pretty 360. The 458 isn't perfect but at least it's unique (For the record, 360 CS all the way).

From earlier, MG over Mustang (I like Mustangs, but come on...), 350Z over 300ZX, Impreza over Lancia and Mitsubishi (McRae drove it - that's all I need to say), Morgan over Caterham (the Seven is brilliant, the Morgan is sensational and easily the coolest car on sale today).

Then I'd pick Tata Nano over G-Wiz, because I love basic simple cars but still have eyes, and MX-5 over S2000, as long as I get to choose my old NA rather than a new NC. Never really been keen on the S2K's styling and I prefer the NA's simplicity.
 
First of all I'll say Cayman R. My friend has an '06 Cayman, and he says it's the most reliable car he's owned. And unlike the TVR, I could actually have the Cayman serviced here in the states.

Second. I'll say Bentley. Never ever liked new Jags.
