1980s child here, so although I could have chosen something far more exotic, my car of the 1980s would be the Sierra RS Cosworth



1990s. I still think this is the most perfect looking Ferrari of modern times. Appearances in "Goldeneye" and "The Rock" probably didn't do it any harm either...oh and I've driven one. A Spider in Rossa Corsa with Magnolia hide would be just about perfect.



2000s. This one only just qualifies but I've always loved Aston Martins and fell in love with the Vantage from the moment it came out. However, I was conflicted between the perfect-looking V8 Vantage and the more powerful V12 motors in the larger GT cars. Aston's most powerful engine in their smallest car is perfect then. I'll take mine in black.



2010s. I have a penchant for really crazy Japanese performance cars but the 90s and early 2000s seemed to be their heyday. This is probably the craziest car to come out of Japan in the last decade and like with their first foray into the luxury car market (LS400), I think that Lexus really nailed it.



It's kind of a shame that I can't pick anything from the 1950s or 1960s but I'm not that old, so over to you... smile
