4: Porsche 911
The Porsche brand was at a crossroads in the 1990s and the 993 body style was brand-new. From a design standpoint, the 911 was similar to the generations that came before it. But that might be the one thing that made Porsche special around this time. These Porsche models were increasingly modern and still look good to this day (via Car Gurus).
The 911 is also one of the best performing sports models on the road today. The interior had enough standard luxury features that the 911 was appealing. Even the most discerning Porsche enthusiast could seem themselves driving the 911. This sports car was far ahead of the curve in terms of design and performance.
