US cars are not big here so I won't comment on them...

Europe:
Fiat 600 Abarth: Mean little bugger that could outperform most exotics of its era.
Renault Gordini: Same as with the little Fiat. Legendary cars!
Tatra 600: A rear-engined V8 powered super-luxury sedan...madness, but unique!
Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3: The original Q-car and performance saloon. Could out-perform Ferraris and was one of the most advanced cars of its time. Beautiful, fast, well-built and rare! Made in heaven!
Saab 92: Undeniably ugly, but also one of the first cars designed specifically to be aerodynamic. Ahead of its time.
Citroen DS: Another ugly one. This car is still famous for its avant garde styling and the magic carpet ride of the hydro-pneumatic suspention. It also gave the world swiveling headlights!

Asia
Lada Niva: Designed originally for the Russian army, it was built to survive on the Tundras. Remarkably tough and dependable and it's not bad looking either!
Nissan Patrol: Another vehicle that earned its reputation for toughness in Africa. Cape-to-Cairo drivers swear by them! Spacious and built like a tank. Best of all, its simple and can be fixed by the local blacksmith. The latest version offers all the toughness and off-road ability combined with good value. One of the few remaining "true" off-roaders along with the Toyota Land Cruiser, the Land Rover and the Mercedes-Benz G-wagon.
Subaru Legacy: This marque is moving forward in leaps and bounds! Still the only manufacturer to offer "boxer" type engines and full time four wheel drive across the range. The latest Legacy has all the beauty, quality and performance to take on the Germans! A truly great car!
