Okay well, keeping in mind that I am from the country that not only invented the car, but also still builds some of the greatest ones out there…
My choices are pretty obvious, keeping in mind that I love fast driving:
My absolute favourite car is the Porsche 911 ( a look onto my channel reveals that pretty

the 68′ charger is great but my favorite is the 69′ charger, but not the 500 model i think taking the recessed back window out kills the look.
Anything from Porsche? Really? Anything?
I have a Boxster and I cannot imagine not having one. That said, it is hard to beleive that you don’t have a Porsche in the doghouse.
The Cayenne — that is a dog. Ugly, slow, expensive – just dumb. Especially in the 6 cylinder version.
The 924 and 914 at least in their early versions were doggy too. There is much to like about each of them, but they are not likely to be on anyones’ favorite car list. Now later versions….. you bet. the 914-6 kicked but for its time. The 924S was a solid car too.
Absolute best car ever made for daily use AND track days – 2006- to present 2011 BMW 335i xdrive – 300hp, 300ftlbs torque, four wheel drive and still get 26mpg on the highway
335 is well known as one of the least reliable BMWs ever made though (but then you have to be very lucky to have any European brand car and expect Japanese car reliability). 328 on the other hand has had much better reliability history.
Also manufacturers cheat with all kinds of interesting tricks to get EPA ratings that have nothing to do with the actual MPG.

A popular consumer show here in Denmark called the car makers out on that particular remark. ie that their MPG ratings was overinflated as opposed to what people could reasonably expect from the cars. BUT here getting a car with a low MPG even if you can’t achieve it, isn’t a total loss since a high MPG means its cheaper to tax each year.

Given a choice of only one, I have to go with the 68 Charger which I think is the prettiest U.S. muscle car of that era. Having owned a 68 Roadrunner and 69 Superbee, I could be biased…..
However, I’m a huge fan of Porsche 911s; any of them.
