I like the newer cars coming out. I still enjoy the older cars, but not as much. Old cars don't age like fine wines do - they age more like my underwear. After a while, they just don't feel the same and they smell just a bit off no matter what you do to make them have that 'new smell' again.One of the newer cars I don't like is the new 370Z. I think the mouth opening is hideous, and can't figure out what those two fangs are there for. Asthetic purposes? I doubt it since it only draws more attention to the stringray stylized headlamps that it has now. Hideous car. The only saving grace is has is that the body structure 
makes it look more like a miniature Skyline from a side view. Poor Z. My favorite Z would have to be the old 240Z. That thing was the Marylin Monroe of Nissans. No matter how young or old you were, you could still respect the beauty and prestige it represented.As for their R series, I like the 35 the most. It's turned the world upside down in terms of looking at Japanese cars as performance vehicles. The R34 has amazing looks, but most argue that the R33 is a better racing platform. The R32 was a big ugly imo, but I'm sure that opinion isn't shared by most.Hondas... well, people love Honda. They may not be recognized for their racing potential by most, but the Accord is one of the most reliable cars on the streets today, and the Civic one of the most common. I'm sure that says something about their build quality and reliability. Heck, I've owned three Civics, a 2001 EX and two 2006 Si's and none of them have given me any trouble. The S2000 is touted as one of the 10 best "drivers cars" because of its remarkable handling and driving feel. The NSX was revered for it's exotic use of materials, light weight, and incredible handling ability. It's too bad that Honda didn't feel it necessary to keep it up to date with the times. 17 years ago it was a monument to Hondas ingenuity - now it's more of a piece of memorabilia.Who doesn't love Toyota's Supra? I'm speaking about the last generation with the 2JZ of course. It's predecessor with the 7MGTE never really impressed many people, although some would defend it's name to the death. The Soarer was notable to the JDM crowd, as were the VIP cars. Oh and one musn't forget the holy grail of drifters everywhere - the Corolla. Too bad the kids couldn't live up to the name. Scions are a mixed crowd. You hate em' or you love em'. Personally, I love them. They're amazing little tuner cars for how much they cost. I think the hate spawms from the fact that these cars weren't built to go fast, but built to be customized. Tuning in a different sense - audio, visual, and so forth.Mitsubishi, Mazda and Subaru tend to have cult followings, but so do the mainstream imports I suppose. Mitsubishi with it's bullet proof engine, Mazda with it's crazy triangles, and Subaru with it's Rally heritage. I respect all three with their unique take on the automobile, but they're only really noted by the Eclipse, Evo, WRX, and RX series. Everything after that is forgettable.
