Thought it was pretty cool!

Skip to 6:20 for the 986.

And for what it's worth, frank Stephenson designed my F430, as well as my wife's R52 mini cooper S. Two cars so distinctly different, yet both with tremendous visual appeal.
I think he's brilliant. Obviously. Haha

Bah! I was going to forward the link to my wife, but then I heard what he said about the Honda.

I was happy with all he said about the Boxster but I believe he grossly undervalued it, especially when he said that it's a deal under 5K, then turned around and said that a Honda CRX is a deal at under 10. So he values the Honda over the Boxster. :barf:

"Eight affordable cars with beautiful designs" is what he said (at the end of the video). Not the best drivers cars, fastest cars or best handling cars. So he likes the Honda design better than the 986 design, to each his own. I would have put the Porsche 928 at the top of my design list.

I get that, but valuate it at twice the Boxster?

Nice list! However, he speaks of the E30 bmws, but shows the M3. Yes, if you can find one for under $5k, buy it immediately!

Not that it makes a huge difference, but remember he is speaking in British Pounds.. not the 2x it used to be but still more like 7k US. Many cars on his list are hard to find at that price.

I love the crx.. and the e30.. the only one that made me recoil was the Renault.. not my cup of tea.

Nice video, thank you for sharing.

He specifically said 5,000 "pounds" not dollars....currently, 5,000 pounds is about $6,700 USD.
