Guilty.
My dream 'car'? Chevy SSR.
I think I'm one of about ten people that loves it.
Is that the pickup convertible?
What do you make of the Opel GT from about a decade ago.
Yeah that's the one. It was like a 50s throwback but was hiding a secret. A Corvette engine. I saw one at a car show painted with proper House Of Color Chameleon Red/gold with some massive rims on. Gorgeous.
Don't know the Opel GT, but I was a big Manta fan.
I've only seen a couple of SSRs but I can understand the appeal.
The Opel GT was another US oddity rebranded for the EU market.
https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/fi ... es/opel-gtYes I like it. It looks like a Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Sky Redline.
I'm a big fan of two door small cars. That's why I loved my Tiburon (Hyundai Coupe American stylee) so much.
Yep, same platform as those two.
Ahhh that would make sense, given all three have those cool "shark fin" things behind the occupant's heads.
Solstice did pretty well for a while. They used to have a race series out in the U.S for them. Then Pontiac made things like the Aztec ( ed, SIC, it's Aztek) (no, even *I* don't like that) and they kinda like, died.
Also I would like to state that even though I like how the Crossfire and Prowler look the build quality on those cars is terrible. My ex wife and I test drove a Chrysler Sebring with 12k on it and it was a shit box. Everything squeaked and rattled, and when you closed the doors the door panels went "woogawooga" and flexed. It really was a bag of bolts.
I've also been in a few Neons, too. The disposable car. No one I knew ever managed to get more than 40k out of them before the engine fell to bits.
