i found this on popular mechanics and i love how 80's car are starting to become super cool!!

SPOILER: 2002 is number 9

[ButtJuice]

Where the fuck is the e30? Where the FUCK!?

[woodisgood]

That was about 6 cool cars.......

[OniKyan]

I saw 2 cool cars.

[sinep]

how is the viper on that list? Hardly a "cult" car. Same with the civic.

[stamar]

Ha that list is so unfair.

The closest thing I have ever had to owning one of those cars is I owned a regular civic once....
civics have a cult following but just the si model doesnt really...

the toyota truck has a cult following.

volkswagon gti... definitely


I think I see 3 cars with a cult following.

Buick grand national? What? By cult following does that mean, its popular with mormon offshoot religions?

Where the fuck is the e30? Where the FUCK!?

my guess is that they didn't want two BMWs on the list. the 2002 made it, so the e30 didn't.

Buick grand national? What? By cult following does that mean, its popular with mormon offshoot religions?

there is a following out there, believe it or not. this is a legitimate performance/collector model (although one can question whether it deserves to make a 'top ten' list).

740GLT is their number 1. Well this is a household mechanic magazine so take it with a grain of salt.

No old mini coopers
no Renault R5 turbo
No AE86
No 240/260Z car
yes Datsun 510!
Buick GN/GNX yes I can see that
VW A1 chassis
No E30 odd
Mustang yes

[VinniE30]

No E30? Is this a joke?
E30 has way bigger of a following than many of those cars.
Someones trolling us.

[Pac1373]

to the guys saying the Buick GN is undeserving have never gone for a real ride in one.

in their time those cars were un-believable. I have seen them wheels up on a launch, and then drive home after the race. nucking-futz cars for shizzle.

I still have a hard time with the Volvo on there though...;)

The quad four motor on the Buick was a gem. Designers put one in a Fiero and it blew the doors off of the Corvette at half the cost. GM killed that project REAL fast. Couldn't allow it to damage sales on their king car.

Not too sure about handling on the GN, it was probably infinitly better than every other GM product at the time but would get trounced in real twisties by most German cars. Straight line, yeah, they would move.

Quad 4 was an Oldsmobile engine to start. A decent engine that GM could have exploited well. It should have been the Fiero engine in the 2M6 got the lazy push rod engine.

1988–1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais
1992–1994 Oldsmobile Achieva
1988–1994 Pontiac Grand Am
1988–1991 Buick Skylark
1990–1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
1990–1991 Pontiac Grand Prix

[StinkE30]

I've never seen a 510 with factory dual-overhead-cams...

[325ix]

I thought the STI had a little more than a cult following... Ken Block wannabes are pretty common.
