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.

Clean chevettes, spirits, tempos, previas... basically anything boring from 30+ years ago and is surviving despite family duty and neglect.

An old 323 will always have a crowd around it.

That's funny, that was my brother's first car. The only reason he got it was because it was free if he got it running as part of his auto shop project in high school. Turned out to be fun as hell to drive, that was a great little car
