    someday- Volvo 740 Turbo

    now- um... semi-totaled Subaru.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    In Germany it's the Opel Omega, as well as pretty much everywhere else.

    Vauxhall has some sort of brand values here. Don't even ask. But I do know for a fact that the car pictured is a GSi 3000 24v- I worked on one when I was 7!
    I really didn't even see the pic I was just pointing out that it has different names

    on the vauxhall badge issue front, our beloved JC says in his tv series "the car years" in the "family car 2000" episode syas "Vauxhall, an 8 track badge in a cd-rom world". And in my opinion if ther are any european cars that adopt the souless character of many japanese and korean cars it would be vauxhall. OVerall though the company car image just kills them, something the mondeo can rise above unlike the vectra.

    Nah, it just had a flat tyre, one missing alloy wheel replaced with a steel rim, a few scratched and a cracked bumper and a loose front foglight.

    How could I forget! Nissan 300ZX.

    One that has under 100,000 km, has a standard transmission, and is not a RHD rescued from Japan. Right hand drive just isn't practical in a left hand drive country, no matter how good of a driver you are. Unfortunately, thats what about 85% of the 300ZX I've seen are. The search continues.

    Were 300ZX's ever imported to America? My uncle has a 300Z, non turbo version. Wouldn't importing it from the US be more practical?

    For me, maybe the S2000 or the Subaru STI. Nothing too expensive. Nice cars still though.

    I would want either a Nissan 300Z or a Subaru WRX.

    I found a 300Z with around 36,000 miles or so, for around $33,000. Monthly payments would be high, but it just might be within my reach... if i stretch my arm alittle.

    Maybe the modern version. I don't know much about the original, but am fairly sure it was undeniably British
