It doesn't have to be a real production car, it can also be a concept.
For me, it has to be the 1997 Dodge Copperhead. This ugly chungus just speaks to me and I don't know why. It is hideous, Pontiac Aztek levels of ugly, but I kinda wish Dodge actually sold it. It wasn't going to be gutless, sharing much with the Viper, but it also wasn't going to have the same price of the Viper (Viper at the time was ~$75k, this baby would have been ~$30k). For the price, a little ugly isn't that big of a deal for a similar powertrain. Surely a facelift kit could help it out some.
Just thought a discussion like this could be fun. What cars are the same for you?
The dust buster van. Them things used to be EVERYWHERE, I don't remember the last time I've seen one in person. Did they all get cash for klunkered?
I think they may have all exploded or just rusted down to the tires. I rode in one as a kid because my friends parents had one. Compared to my family car it was so cool. That front angle, it was like a space ship. I was very jealous of my friend. It seems sill now.
They just fell apart. The plastic body meant no rust (I think the roof was steel though)!
Seriously, everything inside just started falling apart after 10 years. Dash, seat belt winders, door panels fell off, radio buttons just caved in, etc. and ours lived a fairly pampered life.
I spent a good deal of my childhood in one. The 3.1L V6 was a dog and the 3 speed transmission meant kicking down was an event and the mileage was terrible. Dad always wished he held out for the 3.8L and 4 speed in '92.
We had two different Lumina vans. Both with the 3.1. It wasn't fast but it did ok. The first was traded for the second which was the later snub nose version. It didn't hold well. Torque converter died, mom paid too much to have it replaced. The inside was pretty rattly and then the power steering died, ate the serpentine belt and the local shop said it was probably not worth fixing since the AC was also dead. RIP u-body. It was good while it lasted but it was of modest quality. I miss wierd cars.
