Cars You Like that Nobody Else Does

I too have heard of that conversion, think it was a 360 or something. Could you use a manual with that conversion or was it AT only?

Makes me wonder whether the car was originally envisioned as a V8/RWD muscle car, only to be switched to FWD because of weight, fuel economy, and the fact that everyone else was doing it, with RWD left "baked in" to the design by some crazy engineer who wanted to throw the modders a bone.

 

Yugo actually had many parts from that I think, surely might of been from 128 or some other Fiat, but lot of Fiat in Yugo.

127 Sport with 1.3l engine was as hot hatch as it ever had, not sure if hot hatch thing had quite going before 127 was out of production. Something like 75 hp and 775kg so it was not the slowest despite small motor and not very much of power, but at early 80's 75hp was sporty.

 

I have an unhealthy fascination with the Grumman LLV.


These are small, light, and pretty nimble, I always had ideas to turn these into "toy haulers" for bikes or ATVs and such. Plus, RHD for scene points at car meets. ​

 

Might also make for a pretty interesting "yolo car" with a Super Duty 4 version of the Iron Duke some came with (though apparently attempting to install an existing SD4 as is might cause issues related to a different bellhousing or something).

 

2008 Ford Taurus. I want one as my first car.

 

Here's the hot hatch version:

 

Fiat Multipla. I think I'm the only one i like it, aswell as the Hyundai Matrix

 

Curvy Corvette? Nope, it's a Toyota FT-1

Well, I bet nobody likes this truck, but I think it looks decent.

 

nope you´re not the only one

 

Yeah, that's the FT-1. Which is the base for the new Toyota Supra in whatever year they're going to release it
I'm pretty excited for it, but I know I'll never own one. Hopefully it's going to be just like the LFA; one hell of a nice car to look at and that's about as far as my feeling go for the car.

 

I think you could use a manual and beleve it or not the daytona is a k car with a sporty body although a car like what you are thinking was the fiero, it was supposed to have custom suspension and an actual preformance motor like the gn's v6 or a small v8 and although it used the iron duke and a v6 v8s and gn v6s swap right in

 

I know of its origins; I used to know way more than strictly necessary about the K-cars and their derivatives. I suppose I forgot momentarily for that post... though wasn't it a derivative rather than a "true" K-car?

The Fiero was indeed a masterpiece of corporate idiocy.

1984: Hey, we have this sleek new sports car! Check it out! It has like 85 HP and parts-bin suspension but you should still buy it!
1985: OK, OK, here's a V6, sorry... wait, you're upset it only has a 4-speed gearbox? Why is that a problem? Some of our best cars have had 4-speed gearboxes! Besides, we gave you 5-speeds with the I4s!
1986: OK, fiiiiiiiiiiine, here's a 5-speed for the V6. Now love us.
1988: Here, here's some actually good suspension so it can corner better.
1989: We're not selling enough so no more Fieros. Sorry.

The worst part is, the planned 1989+ Fiero was going to have a high-output Quad Four as the base engine and a DOHC V6 in the sports version (prototype had an early Twin Dual Cam and production versions probably would have as well), and some have even said a version with the Grand National's turbo V6 was being tested around that time. It would have been America's answer to the SW20 MR2, only faster, and it would have been epic.

 

after I saw Doug Demuro's vid on this I became fascinated by the thing

 

I've not come across one other person that likes the Ford Probe. I love them, especially the second generation.



Look. It's the right amount of 90's curvy, has pop-up headlights, and the GT version has a spritly little 2.5L V6. It fits the perfect road car formula of "fast enough to have fun."

 

I remeber seeing one on my way to work for sale a couple years ago but no one wanted to buy it i think its still there

 

My mom used to have one I think it was a '92 or a '93 she said it was a fun car to drive



My favorite car that no one else really likes is the Edsel (all of them) I've been fascinated by their design ever since I saw one in a book about cars that I had (it was an Edsel Bermuda in spring green color I think)

 

This beauty. I want it as my first car.

 

This. The 1948 Toyota Corolla. 99% of people i talk to say they've never heard of it.

 

Chevrolet Colorado. NO, not the new one that's the size of the Silverado. I'm talking about the 2011 Colorado. Except, no one pays any attention to them.
