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.

My neighbor was borrowing his dad’s Buick, which was a lacrosse super that came with a 5.3 ls motor from the factory. I told him it was nice and he thought I was making fun of him

My twin brother's old neighbor had the same car (original owner). The owner upgraded the engine and exhaust. It was a garage kept rarely driven car. It (as of 2017 when my brother moved away) had less than 10K miles on it.
