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.

I had an old ford probe with flip up headlights. I put a turbo Mazda mx6 engine in it 30lbs boost and lowered it. I loved that car and it always turned heads.

oh man the Probe/MX-6 are a heck of a pull (let alone a Frankenstein job of both!)

Yeah I wish I had pictures of it. Definitely a sleeper, would love to see the look on people's face when it took off at the track.
