How does it handle with the cargo area full of a new dishwasher from Home Depot? Or dogs? Or 1/4 ton of flagstones? If I had the money to buy something this ridiculous you'd better believe I'd treat it just like I treat the 98 Legacy wagon I occasionally drive.

Thank you, Matt, for the star. You will be hearing more from me - that will be assured. Seriously - it's hard to shut me up.

I clicked on the picture because she looks like a younger version of someone I dated a while back. then I read "myspace" and thought "who uses myspace anymore?

@AhJotah (for some reason it won't let me reply to that post below...) While I respect your position on the car, I have to disagree. The Mazda was influenced by the Porsche in a similar way that Nirvana was influenced by the Pixies, Melvins, Stooges, et. al. You can see the influence but there was something…

"What car was the Hootie and the Blowfish of the Auto Industry?"

I already have my answer for Courtney Love: Untalented, unattractive, and sort of ruins everything it touches (ever gotten the schmutz from the dry-rotted interior on your fingers?) yet was immensely popular in the 1990s due to riding on the coattails of its more talented, yet misunderstood mate: The Geo Storm, if its…

This truck is in Harmony, NC. For those that aren't familiar with Harmony, it's a small farm town that has a meth problem. I lived in Statesville, about 15 miles south of Harmony, for many years, and there's not much in that town besides an insurance agency, a church, a gas station, and about 2000 trailers (about…

What Kurt Cobain represented to a youth like myself (I'm 32 now - I was 12 when Nirvana's Nevermind came out) was a complete upturn of everything I knew about music. When Nevermind came out, I was listening to Poison, Motley Crue, MC Hammer, and Vanilla Ice. All of those are really low-quality, high-volume,…

I'll just leave this here

I forgot about the X-cars - while the Citation X-11 would be one of the best-handling front-wheel-drivers of the early 80s (which is nothing to brag about considering it was still behind the Rabbit and Accord), its transmission issues and rust problems would plague it to obscurity in junkyards. The x-car transmission…

I'm going to take it to 1981. It would be a full year before the now-bloated, underpowered F-body would be replaced by the awesome-handling third generation. Italian supercars like the Ferrari 308 barely produced 200hp. The Lamborghini Countach started to gain excessive body cladding, losing its beautiful wedge…

5mph bumpers were required in the front for 73. I had a 73 mustang convertible with the ugly plastic front bumper instead of the smooth chrome.

The one in my mom's Legacy L wagon has 250k and it's still running strong - plus the ultra-smooth idle, quick revving, smooth torque, and the sound... just the sound makes me tingly.

I agree. I had an 89 SHO in light titanium with the half-n-half interior. If the diff pin hadn't gone through the transmission case I might still be driving it. The powerband was pure sex - when the secondaries opened up it was like a whole different car. It's a shame that such a wonderful engine was put in a…

Honestly, I agree. It doesn't look terrible. The Accord Coupe would look pretty good as a convertible - actually any accord coupe from the past 20 years would look decent as a convertible. Since the average buyer of the Accord is in his or her 50s that's a market that they may want to examine. Take the Accord…

Didn't this go up for auction at B-J recently?

pink leopard print gives me bad memories of the undergarments of fat, obnoxious women trying too hard to be sexy

It still looks way too Korean for my tastes. The Cobalt may not be a great car but it looks a lot better, to me, than this. It still looks like a rebadged Daewoo.

Rare ≠ Special ≠ Valuable.

In 1991, Car and Driver (or maybe Road and Track) tested the Syclone against a Ferrari 348tb and the Ferrari got spanked by the little pickup. It was years before Ferrari allowed one of their vehicles to be in a comparison test again.
