Which car is analogous to your camera?
My Leica M3 is a Mercedes Gull Wing
What's yours?

Stupid mis-guided game based on an ill founded concept.
It should have been "Which camera is your car?"

That's right, this thing is build to last and made to work, all while looking sexy doing it.

It's the other way around, but I'll take a stab at it. Oly 35SP?
The question is what is the camera that you actually have as a car?

Yeah, I get that...just trying to have fun with it and be funny. Sadly, I don't have a Yugo
I have an MP, and a Zeiss Ikon. I have others too, but since this is Rangefinder Forum, I'll leave it at that. I know next to nothing about cars, so...I'll need your help!
1. What is the overpriced, slightly outdated (sorry, but as much as I love it, it's a film camera--don't make this a film vs. digital thread or I'll never come back to RFF again!), hand-made and exquisitely crafted, mechanically precise tool for those of us with money to spend on such things and a slight (or not=so-slight) superiority complex?
-To me, this sounds like some kind of Aston Martin or something (are those still made in England?), surely only manual transmission, and no automation. LIke Bond's car from "Goldfinger"--except new models are identical to that one, and prices adjusted for inflation.
2. What is the utilitarian, efficient, equally outdated (film) but more moderately priced, and in actual usage far more practical and usable than #1 (although it will not last as long) and is more automated?
-This sounds like a Toyota Corolla or something, with automatic transmission, and a few extras, but still not all the bells and whistles of the current digital offerings.
How did I do?

MP is an Aston Martin, sleek, fast and expensive.
ZI is an Audi A5

I think you did fantastic. Although I lean towards an old Honda Accord for utilitarian and efficient and outdated, but that is also due to a history with that car, but like kshapero says that ZI is a bit more classy than either of those offerings.
