I watched this video today. He thinks the 90s was the best. It was certainly an amazing decade. He has some great points.

It got me thinking. And thinking. I think maybe 2000s or maybe 2010s. 2000s had just the right amount of tech but the cars were still analogue feeling. 2010s things got faster but you’d still get some noise and some connection though it was the beginning of the end of an era for man and machine, varying a lot between manufacturers.

All decades have good examples. There is no best decade.

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley and Rolls from all decades
Porsche from most decades
Mercedes from some decades
BMW from a few decades
All remaining brands have a model or two from a decade or two that are noteworthy

I’m going to say 2010 thru today but it’s now going the wrong way with extinction of the M550 and many other great cars. Plus it’s hard to find a manual sports car, Porsche seems to be it, good for them

I'd say you can safely say 2000-2010 was the best. Big gains in power,.performance, and features. Some real classic drivers cars that were also totally daily drivable. Plus the automakers were going wild doing cool stuff

E60 M5, E92 M3, V12 Benzes, Audi S6 with a V10, the RS4, Ram SRT10, Jeep SRT8, Trailblazer SS, all the muscle cars, Evo, STI, 350Z, RX8, Terminator Cobras, WS6 Trans Am, Corvettes, Vipers... That's not even starting on all the much more attainable sporty compact cars.

Plus, all these cars prices were much better lined up with wages. I knew a pizza boy who had a brand new WRX. If you had a semi decent job (like a retail job), you could afford a cool car, and they made lots of cool stuff
