Stylewise, this still has a little bit of the soul of the original Z, before Nissan took them on a detour into the wilderness of ugly.

@leavethegun-takethecannoli: It's OK. The I-95 corridor is all most people see, so I don't blame them for getting the wrong impression.

@leavethegun-takethecannoli: From where I live, the closest active landfill is probably in Pennsylvania. But I can see a federally designated 'wild & scenic' river from my house.

In New Jersey, finding one of these on the street would be like...I dunno...stepping outside and finding a lemur living in your yard. Another amazing find.

Closest I came was January or February '87, on Route 3 near Giants Stadium, in my Chevette. My 45-minute commute was turning into an 8-hour journey, and I was at a standstill, digging myself deeper into the ice with every stab at the gas pedal. My puny emergency chains were no match. Thankfully, the motorist behind me…

'64 Bel Air for evilness.

Clearly, it has to have scissor doors.

If this drivetrain is real, good for Chrysler, provided they can survive long enough. But here it sits in...a 2WD Jeep. Are they so devoid of appealing, relevant vehicles to carry this technology that they have to further dilute the Jeep brand? Wait, I think I know the answer to that. Sad.

Professional driver(s) on closed course. Do not attempt.

Another niche product? Nice if all's right with the world, but if Chrysler is thinking about this now, impending death has failed to focus the corporate mind.

Pretty bland stuff on my block, but I would choose the Impreza owned by the 20-year-old down the street. Hooned near to death, wrapped in random decals, half cannibalized from the donor car in the driveway, tuned in unknown ways, but at least it would be interesting.

Given the way today's minivans and SUVs are swaddled in privacy glass, I find the tint on the back windows a little ironic. But it would be the first thing to go if I got my hands on this thing. I love the tall, clear, open greenhouses on older cars.

We have a Lois Lane in our town. Best of all though, in Warren County, N.J.—you can look it up: Shades of Death Road.

Definitely a cool car, and we must thank our comrades for coining the word "Automobilove." But with the wavy body work (I won't say sheet metal) and Warsaw Pact pedigree, that's a big czech to write.

My '98 626 is about 80 (160k). Catching a little tinworm, and the weatherstripping is falling down, but still pretty healthy.

@dopplerd: It was a subtle attempt to win over the NASCAR crowd.

OK, follow the logic. You're an investment banker. You've had a Benz for your commuter and an Escalade EXT for domestic duty. But times are tough, no bonus this year; it's time to consolidate vehicles. Here it is.

In my previous life in newspapering, I actually got to ride in and write about the Wienermobile. Of course, there was nothing to do but surrender to every pun that entered my brain...relishing the experience, etc. Good times.

@Drachen: No, 'Mr. Tambourine Man.'

@Rust-MyEnemy 20v Turbo: It's OK; in a crash, your head just plunges into that void.
