Maybe I'm just having trouble looking at this from the perspective of a non-enthusiast, but I imagine any layperson being able to have some degree of appreciation for all of these. Aside from maybe the Audi, as it isn't as visually striking as the rest 
The e30 would top my shortlist, along with largely anything from the 80s-90s that have become "enthusiast" cars, but have not aged significantly to be considered classics in the eyes of the masses.

I had a 1988 Mustang GT convert. I've had several cars since then, but this is the one I miss. It was built like a tin can, but it was awesome for 225,000 miles until I sold it. Never even had the valve covers off that car. It was an absolute rattle trap that took abuse everyday and it never broke.

There are a handful of Integrale's that have been homologated to US standards. They come occasionally for sale. They are legal for Canada. I too am a fan of the Integrale, but for me the Clio V6 is more wild. I don't think it's had even a small percent of history or lure like the Lancia had/has. Importing earlier year models should be exempt now for Integrale, but they are still worth something to fans in Europe.

The E30 M3 is pretty meh to someone who doesn't know about its significance and driving feel.
Along the same lines, the Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3-16 probably looks like another older Benz to a lot of people.
