As far as the best of every world, THIS generation is the best in HP and handling. But if you're an old-schooler, I advise you to buy soon. It WILL NOT LAST. Unless you think 4-cylinders are cool. And they're not. But there will be some to try to convince you they are. Don't take that bait.
But it doesn't have to be all about HP. Back in the 80s, you mainly had looks and a tad bit of handling as HP continued to suck for the most part. So I bought this 1985 Olds 442 new, and still keep it as original as I can 60K miles later. It's one of the best cruising cars I've ever owned.
