Mk6 R vs. Mk7 GTi: Tough, but I'll go with the R. A AWD Hot Hatch and good for the money? I'll take it. :)

M4 vs. RS5: Tough, but I'll go for the M4. Because ///M.

Old Jag vs. XF Diesel: Hmmmm, the older Jag would turn heads quicker and a great conversation piece at C&C event or at a show. But I'll take the XF.

Citroën vs. Jaaaaaggg: I'll take the classic Jag easily, even though I like the DS.

Kei cars: Hmmm, I'll take the Mira.

Midget vs. Suzuki vs. Crappy Skoda: The battle is between the Midget and Suzuki, two cool and unique trucks, but I'll take the Suzuki and make one bad Baja truck. ;)

Suzuki
Midget
Skoda

Shelby Dakota vs. GMC Syclone: Tough one, I like them both, but I'll go with the Dakota since it's rarer than the Syclone.

Original Eleanor vs. Shelby Newer Eleanor: A great one, but a tougher decision.... Hmmmm, I'll take the GT500 and build Eleanor up around 750hp from the engine and can run on E85. :mischievous:👍

It has over 800 from the factory. I've seen one in person. Straight out of the movie at that.

Lucky. I have never seen one of them yet in my life!

But, if it has 800hp, I'm satisfied with the new Eleanor on that WYR. 👍

Don't quote me on this but I think I read somewhere it was dyno'd at 867. I had a dealership in the town I live near and it was frequently in the front window.
 
The 1967 Mustang is better looking.

I'll have whatever that first car is assuming I can have the Caterham/Lotus it (I think) is towing with it. If not, I'll have the Mini.
 
Renault vs Lotus vs Mini - I never got the big hype over the original Minis, so I have no reason to want one unless I genuinely think it's a good car, which I don't. I know it is famous in the world of rallying and I respect that, but I just can't see it bolting when I put the foot down, so it's out. The Renault looks like a bug from the front, so ew ew ew. And finally, we have the surprisingly beautiful Lotus Cortina. I adore Lotus as car manufacturers and the Cortina really hits the spot for me, so I'll have that.

1. Lotus
2. Mini
3. Renault
 
I'd go with the Renault. I know it's almost certainly a worse car in every respect than the Lotus or the Mini, but I'm one to travel by public transport or bicycle personally, so the gorgeous charm of the Renault can win me over.
 
I'd have the Lotus Cortina. Maybe not quite as charismatic as the Mini, but I've always liek them.
 
Bullitt because 390 FE V8, even though Eleanor and Bullitt you posted are replicas.
 
If I could get Herbie as he was in the film, with crazy sped and his own sentience, I'd have him. If not, GT390, please. Results for that below:

1. Bullitt
2. Herbie
3. Eleanor
4. Christine

Bullitt vs Eleanor vs Herbie vs Christine - I have no interest in Christine whatsoever, so she's out. Herbie I quite like, but not enough to top any of the Mustangs. Eleanor has beautiful lines and I would love to own one, however it just can't beat Bullitt in my book. Everything from the rims to the paint is perfect in that car, and I can't imagine what the engine bay would look like. Bullitt it is.

1. Bullitt
2. Eleanor

From your previous car choices, I don't expect you to understand, but I adore the curves of old muscle cars. Look at the hood, look at the skirt, that blacked out roof, the front splitter and spoiler. Muscle cars have smooth but masculine lines, which I just adore.
 
An early Mark 1 Mustang or Camaro I can understand, but that thing has less aesthetic appeal to me than an AMC Gremlin, and that says A LOT...
