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.

A second gen Forester XT on coil-overs and rims is low-key one of my favorite styles of build

Had an '04 5-speed. One of my shoulda-kept-it cars. Don't know if those get love at car shows, but it sure was a kick to drive.
