I was gonna mention the 6th gen. Civic VTi, but the CRX is even better.

Charlie Sheen for DeLorean

He had me at "stick".

I have the same car, only 2 years younger, in a darker shade of grey and with turbo power.

Okay. So the W353 is terrible to drive, Prius owners keep making the sign of the cross as you drive by, you can buy one in great (and I mean GREAT) nick here for the equivalent of 1500-1800 USD, not to mention the problems the owner had with the authorities and the uncertain past of the car.

I was going to mention the Amanti (Opirus as we know it here in Europe).

A couple of photos:

Now playing

This was filmed in the hills near my hometown in Hungary. We have a range of cool races on the winding roads of the Mecsek. However, most of the Lada action is restricted nowdays to semi-pro/amateur rallies.

The Hungarian Wolverine asked us to bring cars that were never sold in the US. Too bad I couldn't stop by in my SEAT as I got off late from work and I live 200 clicks away. Would have loved to meet you guys.

This is some serious Donnie Darko shit.

Saw the one operated by Red Bull a couple of years back. Amazing little machine. Sadly, Red Bull's Microjet crashed the next year, killing the pilot.

Holy shit, that looked scary. A model plane not nearly as big killed two people at a local airshow a couple of years ago when it slammed into the crowd.

You have to put the Trabi into context to understand it. I mean, it was designed to provide affordable transportation for average people in the eastern bloc, and it did just that. So it's only as crappy as the 2CV or the Beetle - all of which had their flaws, but became legendary automobiles.

With its numerous annoying and expensive problems (including heavy rusting issues), the W210 is considered to be probably the worst Mercedes ever. It succeeded in undermining the brand's myth of quality and reliability achieved with cars as the W123 and W124.

But it's not available with AWD.

I wouldn't call it an MPV, as it lacks the variability of small MPVs (small MPVs: Ford B-Max, Opel Meriva, etc.), but it's too tall for a wagon (and it is based on the Fabia, which already has a wagon version).

These guys are the reason aircraft spotters/enthusiasts will be banned from runway ends sooner or later. Remember the case with the German transport plane from a few years ago?
