I want an Oldsmobile Firenza There is a neat 2 door sedan type but all the pics I find of it are either 3000x2000 or 240x100. Its a GM J-Car which means its Vauxhall Cavalier Mk2 under all that ugly nose cone business. but its the ugly which appeals. 1.7 Isuzu TDi should go in one... Or am I too wide of the mark on this one?

i kinda like that actually if you squint a bit it looks vaguely like a vauxhall firenza, well the hatchback/coupe one does the nosecone also looks like some weird knock off 70's trans am nosecone to fitted to a 80's yank (which it is i guess ).. wonder what it would look like black with a trans am eagle.... probably preposterous

There was a Pontiac version as well, the J2000. Which is arguable uglier The Oldsmobile Starfire Firenza is a completely different car. its a RWD Chevy Vega/Monza (not Opel) derived thing and came with an optional V8... There are no Oldsmobile Firenzas in the UK that I know of and probably only a handful in the USA now LOL. There is a Cadillac Cimaron which is mostly the same thing out for sale Norfolk way on eBay every now and again. 2.8 V6 with a faulty auto trans.

I'm with Akku (if I may be so informal). But I'd have to have the sedan. I don't even think the nose is that ugly. Then again, I'm weird, I like LeBaron hardtops.

It looks like a cut down version of the Wagon Queen Family Truckster. You've strayed over the Genius/Madness line with this one...

^ this man knows a shitbox winnah when he sees one and apparently that 'car' would only be one if it was a cimarron... Only kidding, I have a soft spot for horrible yank atrocities and this, well it's atrocious tbf. [/positive_comment] *modifies post to include encouraging picture*
