Pretty sure this awesome vehicle already features in EmDee's Bottom Feeders thread, but there is a whole set of photos so IMO it deserves it's own thread. I know these things are seen as toilet in the states, but I can't help but love the front end of them. The sloping bonnet and the huge headlights I WANT ONE! Anyway enjoy...     *bites lip* for info and more pictures.... bodybeat.ru/review/stupid-or-awesome/ |

I like the shape of these, along with the early Integra's I imagine them looking cool having a monobrow style single headlight!

I also am a big fan of these, and they look very cool given the wheels and lowering treatment.

I've never seen one of those before but it makes me think it would have been at home in a Gerry Anderson series. Excellent.

Makes me have weird thoughts about grafting mk3 Granada headlights on to a Sierra. Thought this would float your boat  |

I saw one in a car park in Vegas last year and I really liked it, thought it had much potential. What are the 'problems' with it?

I spotted this just around the corner from home a while ago, lots of potential. The only one I've seen in real life outside of the US I think!  Saturn SL J319MTJ by retromotoring, on Flickr |

You've been telling me you were a genius since you were seventeen ... in all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean !

My immediate thoughts were of a Superbird plus Legacy wagon combination. There's a lot of 80s Firebird in there too in my eyes.
There is a lot of potential in it, more than this car realises, but just exactly what I cannot pinpoint right now. I'll let it brood and maybe the answer will come...

I quite like them. I remember being struck by the cartoony looks in one of those world car guides. The estate looks very Hondaesque from the side

I saw one in a car park in Vegas last year and I really liked it, thought it had much potential. What are the 'problems' with it? See how the doors don't quite fit in this picture? That pretty much sums up the whole cars. They were thrown together with that level of care all over. The "dent resistant plastic panels" they are skinned with haven't seemed to hold up too well. They look to get brittle with age and most I see anymore look like this.  But thanks to those plastic skins they are light weight and get excellent fuel economy. Typical GM powerplant that won't excite you but run forever on a few pennies. They can be made pretty fast too.  They are also highly undesirable in any form and therefore very inexpensive to buy. |
