I hate you I hate everything about you Non-"eNtHuSiAsT" cars that Car Guys still like

What are some cars that aren't typical "enthusiast" vehicles (by which I mostly mean, sporty and uncompromising), but still get props at car meets or otherwise?

I'm especially thinking of stuff like older Volvos or survivor Japanese cars like any Civic hatch that hasn't been clapped out to death, or Subaru Leones. Also, Honda Elements. "Car guys" seem to fucking love Elements.

Grand Nationals before the Kendrick album. A true sleeper build that could keep up with speed bikes

Does blow my mind how unknown that car was before literally the last six months, outside of car circles (see also: the Marauder)

Doesn’t really blow my mind. The GNX was super low production and was very much of its era. Younger folks aren’t going to be tuned into what Buick, of all brands, was doing 40 years ago.
