Everything's gone downhill since then, due to constant "upsizing", higher grills for safety standards, and Honda switching from double-wishbones to wack-ass strut suspensions.
I remember the big thing with Honda and Acura were the low dashboards and good sightlines.

I was never big into Audi...mainly because they always seemed like overpiced VWs and there really wasn't a lot on the road but I did think the ealier Quatro's were "interesting".

I think the 3 series from the late 80's really great looking cars and I think the design has held up well. Especially the 2dr cars.
The last gen RX-7 is such an awesome car...if only the motor\turbo setup would last unmolested by mechanics hands.

There have been quite a few cars from the 80's and 90's that at the time I didn't think much of but now I kinda appreciate the design language.
