My Favorite Cars from The 80s

Here we are with another nostalgic post cherishing our favorite decade, the 80s.
Well, I am not a car enthusiast but anyway, here are my three favorite cars from the 80s:

1) Toyota Corolla E80:

Manufactured between 1983 to 1987, this fifth generation of Toyota Corolla is without a doubt the most popular car of its time in Pakistan. One of my uncles had this car and that's why I saw a great deal of this car in my childhood (the early 2000s). So this car is also a childhood memory for me. From 1990 to the late 2000s, they enjoyed huge popularity among Pakistanis and were a must part of every Barat.
Due to their durability, these cars can be still seen on the Pakistani roads even after three decades since their made.

2) Nissan Sunny B12:

With a 'super-flat' rear, this car is the epitome of the 80s car design. This variant of Nissan Sunny was manufactured from 1985 to 1990. Although, in the late 80s, sharp edges were getting out of fashion and were being replaced with somewhat round corners. Still, the chief designer at the company at that time insisted on a sharp-edged design and I salute him for giving us a classic-80s design (Although this contributed to poor sales of these cars.) It is still seen in the big cities of Pakistan, mostly in white color.

3) Honda Accord (2nd Generation):

This car resembles in shape to Toyota Corolla E80 (in my point of view, from the rear side) but it has its own charm and grace. Built from 1981 to 1984, this car is every 80s-lover's dream (so is mine) and looks totally awesome in midnight-blue color. This car is still owned by some car enthusiasts in Pakistan but it isn't as common as the Toyota Corolla E80.

All of these amazing cars are a marvel of Japanese Technology. However, in the movie The Sunshine Boys (1975), Walter Matthau doesn't agree with this. That's what he says when his Japanese-made television doesn't work:

(Walter Matthau) "Lousy Japs, they lost the war, now they send us their junk."

That's it for today guys. Until next crap of nostalgia.
