Personally I’d say the Crossfire was a weird and overlooked win for this merger. It looked good and unique, if nothing like the concept from years earlier. The interior was a little too spartan and probably not up to quality snuff, but all trims had good wheel options, and the colors fit. The Merc engines weren’t bad…

Ya. I was surprised - though not REALLY - recently when I saw these were trading hands for $400k. They are a really faithful rendition of the 60s icon, they sound great, they look great, they are fast, and can be made much faster. In the current bubble market, which seems to be expanding to everything even remotely…

Ya. The fact that this much HP is hustling over 2 tons of mass down the strip to 10.0 and 11.0 1/4-mile times, while having safety systems, repeatability, a warranty, and honest street-ability, is not to be discounted. People spend hundreds of thousands to get into the 8s.

One that grew as a pet peeve tumor since I’ve had kids is them leaving the reading lights on in the back seat/2nd row of the car/SUV and killing my battery.

Damn, prices are going up on those that high?! I’ll have to check my local area. Always respected those cars though, and Electron Blue makes everything look spectacular. The 2-decade difference between the two could not be more stark, but good thing Honda has been able to retain the Si spirit (for the most part).

It was all “satire”, ya know...

I’m sure there’s at least one frat that has done something useful, charitable even. But every time I see a story about a frat in the news, it’s never a good one about 19-25 year-old young men acting above an IQ of 80, let alone responsibly.

Color me so surprised. =|

GAH I want one of these so bad!

Ya, the OP’s pic is the VG30E-only 89-91 model.

Same as my ‘93 5-speed, save for the white exterior and velour interior.

**Raises hand as former owner of ‘93 Maxima SE 5-speed**

Ya. All Ford had until ‘95 was the stop-gapish, basically unchanged Aerostar, and GM had the routinely panned Dust Busters and mid-size but utilitarian Astro. Neither could shake a reasonable stick at the Chrysler minivans, though, especially not after the dual-slider 1996 model came out.

They obviously went on to use the first idea for the ensuing Dodge Ram van design, although that product ended up very much NOT looking like a 15/10ths Grand Caravan. The second one couldn’t look more like a Ford copy if it tried. Clearly they made the right decision because if they didn’t go with door #3, Chrysler…

I never forgot about these after seeing a spy photo in Car and Driver in the late 90s. But their proportions are pretty weird, especially for how they decided to resolve the side windows and the door length. Really could use American DM wheels too.

Eh, I’d rather get a Ford/Centurion. Seems like a solid, modern aftermarket classic that will have plenty of people scratching their heads around town.

My daughter very recently asked “daddy, what’s the longest limousine ever?” Question answered.

Original value doesn’t always tell the story. The Pontiac Aztek was a perfectly affordable vehicle when new. Fast forward to a certain recent-hit TV series, and suddenly the Aztek’s image has been elevated, as well as the price of used ones. As someone who was a teen throughout most of the 90s, I recall the Mitsu…

Nugent is what happens when you live your life like a punk-ass uneducated self-involved college bro 24/7/365, for decades.

Slow clap.
