WTF is that? Can't forget what I never knew.

Stanza Wagon




I want one of those, especially the 4WD version. It's like a Civic Wagovan but more van than wagon.

Which is sad, because they're one of the best looking GM vehicles ever.

Isuzu Gemini. They were all over the Philippines as taxis. In Europe they were sold as Opel Kadett's with a different front.

2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

Infiniti M30, bitches

I'm sorry, that's discounted.  It was featured in "Three Kings", when Mark Wahlberg said he wanted to get his wife a Lexus convertible, and they all tried to tell him that Lexus didn't make one, and only Infiniti did.

Suzuki Equator, a rebadged Nissan Frontier.  Have you ever seen one?  I haven't.



Mitsubishi Cordia.  What happened to all of these?



Mitsubishi Tredia.  Another '80s Mitsu nobody remembers.  (except me, apparently)



Mitsubishi Precis, a rebadged Hyundai Excel (AKA Pony).  Wow, Mistsubishi sure made a lot of forgettable cars!



Dodge Challenger/Plymouth Sapporo.  Built by....you guessed it......Mitsubishi!



Not a Mitsubishi, but you could get one of these with a Mitsubishi Engine.  Chrysler E-Class/Dodge 600/Plymouth Caravelle.

Pontiac G3, a rebadged Chevrolet Aveo/Daewoo Kalos.  Just the thing to burnish Pontiac's sporty, high-performance image!



Nissan Pulsar NX.



And it's successor, the Nissan NX1600/2000



Porsche 968.  924/944 body with a 928-style nose.  Nobody seems to remember these.



AMC Spirit.  Essentially an updated Gremlin.  Came as either a fastback or as a 3-door wagon.

Renault/Eagle Medallion.  Renault's last gasp in America before pulling out.  A federalised R21 shipped in from France.



Peugeot 405.  Another Frenchie seldom seen in the States.  I owned one and loved it!

Porsche 968 forgettable? In the sense that not many people besides autophiles are aware of it... yeah. But it was the sweet grand finale of the 944 series, and I'd love to have one.

True, but I barely remembered that movie from 11 years ago, and not many people are going to remember the Infiniti/Lexus reference in particular.

Yet, they're still so fucking expensive on the used market!  I was planning on buying one for years, but the cabriolets are still holding strong at around 15K--anything less than 12 is in terrible shape.

I do.  And my brother does.  Whenever an Infiniti commercial comes on, my brother turns to me and says "Infiniti only!"

Forgotten maybe, but not forgettable.

Either you know every car or you've forgotten what you forgot.

If you know it, it isn't forgotten, now is it? Nothing's more forgettable than something you can't remember. You can't list ANY car you've forgotten, otherwise, you haven't forgotten it... ;) And you can't forget ANY car you never knew about in the first place. And if you never knew about it, you couldn't list it, otherwise you'd have known about it.

Simple logic, my good man.

I don't think that Volvo 240's are forgettable at all.


If anything the 1st gen S40 is pretty forgettable.



The 1st gen G20 was pretty forgettable, but the 2nd Gen was even more forgettable.
