Little younger than what Sheik is talking about, but saw a Dodge Magnum this weekend. Only produced for 3 years in the early 2000s.

didn't Honda make some kind of turbo-charged, fast as a motorcycle, pickup truck? I guess it looked kind of cool, and went really fast... I just wondered what the point was? Gotta get that load of plywood to the jobsite STAT.I know people loved that car, but I never understood it. A souped up station wagon.

Remembered another, (my memory is gone!) in the mid 90s, my dad (who to this day is dying for a two-seater) was able to convince my mother to let him by a Nissan Pulsar NX. Fun car with a t-top and pop up headlights. Plus you had the ability to add one of these if you wanted to!!

Forgot about that car. When I was 19, my GF had one of those. We had secs in the back. It was not as cool as we thought it was going to be, and even in my teenage years, I ended up pulling a muscle in my back.Remembered another, (my memory is gone!) in the mid 90s, my dad (who to this day is dying for a two-seater) was able to convince my mother to let him by a Nissan Pulsar NX.

My first car as well. Think Honda discontinued the hatchback a year or two later so it could be the Acura Integra.

What about the Subaru SVX?
Known as the car with windows in the windows. Pretty crazy car that actually had some decent power. One of the early concept-to-production cars.

wait a sec... an old client of mine is a gumball rally racer. while I was working for him, he was buying a new car for the races... was seriuosly considering a suburu rally-type production car that he claimed was one of the fastest cars on the road at the time... 2000ish (ended up with a BMW M5, IIRC, that he outfitted with Polizei stickers and crap because he was doing a european gumball- had some insane videos from that)

That could've been one of the original STI's. The STI's were big over in Europe and Asia for years before they brought them to the US back in the early 2000's. The Impreza started at Subaru as just an economy car in the US...it had much more of a performance pedigree elsewhere, at least in the STI trim.El Floppo said:
I'm not sure the SVX was ever a rally car. Could've been, but not sure.
I haven't seen one for a few years now. I remember seeing a few back a decade or so ago. The windows were the most distinctive feature.TheIronSheik said:

Guy in my neighborhood I grew up in had a maroon one. Pretty cool but I always wondered what was up with the windows. Could you only open them halfway?

Had the same car in white as well. Great on gas and had a sweet sunroof. Problem was this is still when Japanese cars had rust problems and it rusted out. Had a sweet 80's VW Scirocco which was a cool car. I think the Porsche 928 would be the one 80''s car i would want in terms of "newer" classic cars.

Holy cow, the Scirocco was the other car I almost got.
Also, don't forget the 944.

I always considered the Fiero to be a cheap imitation of the Toyota MR-2 which I had and loved it. http://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/1985-Toyota-MR2-Front.jpg

For some reason I never liked that car. Every time I looked at it or drove in one all I could think of was "so close to being a sports car, but not quite".

I LOVED the Scirocco when I was a kid. They still make them, just not in North America. It's pretty cool looking...

Sort of...Just the little inside window went down. So if you had the windows "fully down," the little window was gone, but the bigger one was still there.

I was sad to see the Land Rover Defender has ceased production.
Has anyone ever had one of these or can advise if it's a good idea to go get one? This would be in the way of a fun extra car, not a primary one.
