I gotta go with the 3.2 as the prettiest, but I agree with the above, that a lot of it has to do with what you grew up with. These cars were IT in the mid-‘80s. So iconic. (Just picked this one up).

964,5 widebodies are quite nice.


The S Flachbau is my 911 dream car for both looks and performance.

My top three probably 997, F-body, and 964 in that order. Have the 997 and 964, but still working on getting an F-body car.

The worst looking one for me is 996.1 (996.2 was much much better) due to how cheap it looks with the yellow egg york headlight and 992 for how busy and Audish it looks.

Off topic, sorry, but which Gulfstream is your favorite?

Sorry...this car! Astur how could you???????
