I’ve been obsessed with the Toyota Soarer/Lexus SC and the Lexus LC500 lately. I think it would be so cool to have a pristine example of both in my garage. I just really like how they’re both so of their time but also clearly from the same lineage.

The Scion TC was a nice continuation of the Celica. The CR-Z was a nice continuation of the CRX. Unfortunately both kind of missed the ethos of the cars they were spiritual successors to. And I believe the case is the same for the cars you’ve posted as well.
Definitely the Nissan Z….. Just kidding. It hasn’t progressed since 2003.
Porsche 911
Convenient omission of the sc430
The G Wagon imo. I know they’re just overpriced luxury tanks these days, but they’ve come far with the design and people are still buying them like hot cakes. So go you Daimler Benz
Obviously the right answer is the 70 series Land Cruiser. Nothing has progressed like it has.
Corvette. Wish they’d kept the signature round double taillights for the latest gen but other than that I just love the whole line.
Volvo V90
