The most 80s looking car?

Mitsubishi Starion get my vote.

Back in the day I remember seeing a new all white Nissan Pulsar sportback. It was hideous but I couldn't stop looking.

Mazda did 80s pretty well. 929 anyone?

His about the tercel 4wd by Toyota?

Lots of 80's goodness...the XT has got to be close to the top.

I'm gonna pick this one, because it sums up the monochrome 80's very well...and it was also the end of an era:

Hardcastle and McCormick baby!

The early 80s were a dark, dark time for automobiles. Fortunately, it all started to turn around in 1985 or so. The IROC Z was launched, the Corvette got serious, and the Mustang was finally quick again. The Japanese also started getting serious with the RX-7 GSL-SE, the Supra, and the Turbo 300Z. For me though... the 80s was ridiculous excess.

WOW! I've never seen that Zimmer Quicksilver! I'll assume it was some ungodly sum of money at the time. Off to google...

No, no, NO. Watch and learn, gentlemen. I give you... the Chrysler Reliant!

NOTHING says the "1980s" more than this.

Yes, Car and Driver put a Zimmer Quicksilver on the cover----- it turned out to be one of their worst selling issues of all time! I guess folks just weren't ready for a Fiero in a leisure suit!

How did we miss thus gem?

Yes, most people think of them as 90s cars.. but they started production in the very late 80s

the "little" Ferrari - 308/328 was ok... but I was a fan of the "little" Lambo... the Jalpa...

As to 80s content.... my daily....

In reply to oldeskewltoy:

I'll always associate the Jalpa with Rocky IV

Dang I miss my Pulsar, If it had the sportsbak I'd have kept it.

These were quite popular at car shows when I was in the Navy mid-late80's in VA.

K-car

944

Starion

Grand National

Peugeot 205

The 308 was introduced in 1975. My neighbor has two 246 Dinos (In these crappy apartments in Costa Mesa), and I thought it was such an improvement in styling. It wasn't but they still are, and always will be beautiful.

Or the red headed step child of the prancing horse family. The Mondial Not as pretty, but looks more 80's to me where the utterly beautiful 208/308/328 family are more 70's to my eye.

Being a teenager in the 80's I always thought the Grand Am SE was a cool looking car.

Edited for lack of spelling.
