That’s clearly the Boxster for me chief
Z3, can’t help it I’m a bimmer boi
Boxster tbh, other two just look like they’re… pretty awkward.
The boxster’s lights are awkward, there’s a reason it’s not like that before or after.
It’s easy to say that plenty of 90s styling is awkward.
The SLK gets knocked down some pegs because it’s aged atrociously, whenever I see one irl my first thought is 90’s shitbox and then it registers, oh that’s a Mercedes
Obvious choice: Only one of those is any good to actually drive.
Easily the 986 - it was the best to drive out of the three, and sold well enough to save Porsche from financial collapse. And the economies of scale brought on by this new platform allowed them to ramp up production of the water-cooled 996 when it arrived the following year.
RULE BRITANIA! BRITANIA RULES THE WAVES!
Pretty sure that Lotus tuning of the car is the only British thing about it, the rest of the car is German as well.

Volvo S70R
Saab 9-3 Viggen
Tricky one, but I’m going with the Volvo.
Gotta be the Viggen. Love a Saab and/or Scania.
Very tricky, but Saab Viggen is cooler
Honda Accord
Mazda 6
Volkswagen Passat
I was assuming base models, otherwise I agree.
I was targeting standard models like 2.0tdi passat
Accord has relatively the cheapest parts price between the three.
I’d take the Accord except for us it was an Acura TSX
