Well, except for a technicality, (1990 model year) the game would be over because the Miata was available in 1989.

I completed the poll, then the fact that you have to enter an email address to submit it became clear. You guys already have my email address, so I wasn't too concerned, but not putting that up front might irritate some people.

Wow, some tough voting there. So many good cars. 911 vs C4. Love the Fiero vs. Ferrari...what about a Ferrari kit for a Fiero, best of both worlds.

The Starquest should be in the game too.

In reply to Klayfish:

I agree, I was wondering where the Starquest was. Definitely more of a sports car than the Fiero, at least.

What? The MR2 was against the E30. Wasn't it? It was also one of the few on the right side that I chose.

Obviously not a "scientific" poll, but MR2 vs 3 Series is a bit of a weird pairing (very different types of cars).

Can't be helped with the playoff style of voting though.

Correct. MR2 vs. E30 should have been the last matchup you saw.
