Choose your location, chose your car

[Vinsanity]

So your company is expatriating you to a new location, and you have quite a few options to choose from. You even get a free vehicle out of the deal, but the catch is that your vehicle must be one named after the location you settle in.

I could just imagine a Parisienne in Paris.  That is one of he biggest cars Detroit ever built.

Ferrari California in San Diego please.

[2o6]

I could get with a Malibu in Malibu.

[thewizard16]

Tahoe for me on the realistic level, but any of the Ferraris would be just fine too  .

[Vinsanity]

the Ferraris would be the obvious choices, but I love the idea of cruising the French and Italian Riviera in a classic boattail Buick Riviera

[hotrodalex]

Cayman or Riviera (first gen)

[cawimmer430]

Chrysler New Yorker hands down! 




Preferably the 1970s versions.

[Morris Minor]

Well of course I have to put in
Morris Oxford
Morris Cowley
Austin Cambridge
Austin Devon
Austin Dorset
Austin Hampshire
Austin Hereford
Austin Somerset
Austin Westminster

[cawimmer430]

Fuldamobil = Fulda, Germany

[Raza]

Oh come on...you're letting Ferraris other than the California in?  Then you've got to let in the 575 Maranello and the 360 Modena, not just the ugly automatic 458. 

[Byteme]

Chevrolet Belaire
Chevrolet Biscayne
Ford Torino

[mzziaz]

Ford/Mercury Capri

[hotrodalex]

Fuldamobil = Fulda, Germany

That's tempting.

ok fine, but your stay will be limited to those respective cities

j/k I don't have an excuse for forgetting

[Payman]

Saturn

[Minpin]

Obviously the Lotus Europa. All the others limit you to one city. Fuck that shit. I'd rather drive a half cool car all over Europe than one cool car 4 blocks.

[TBR]

Does the STS-V count as a Seville?

[the Teuton]

Saturn

I agree. Or Mercury. Okay, maybe not that one.

[Vinsanity]

you would just be based out of those specific locations. you can drive the cars wherever you want

[Vinsanity]

Does the STS-V count as a Seville?

if you can find something official from GM that the first 'S' still stands for "Seville"

[Minpin]

That makes this pointless then. What's the point of choosing a location based around the car if you can just go wherever to fuck you want?

[TBR]

I know it does so I am not going to dig up a press release from 1992 when the STS was first introduced as a trim level for the Seville to prove it. So, I choose a STS-V in Seville, Spain.

[Vinsanity]

your home and work would be in the location the car is named for. you can take the car wherever just like you can now.

[Laconian]

Ooo. Riviera plz. Beautiful car, beautiful setting.

[Byteme]

Does the STS-V count as a Seville?

I thought it stood for Sports Touring Sedan or something like that.

[cawimmer430]

That's tempting.

9-hp baby. If you think a V6 Camry is fast, guess again.

[BimmerM3]

Probably Ferrari California.

[SVT_Power]

Oh how do you say no to cayman in the cayman islands?

[omicron]

I know it does so I am not going to dig up a press release from 1992 when the STS was first introduced as a trim level for the Seville to prove it. So, I choose a STS-V in Seville, Spain.

That's what I'm here for!

Introducing the 1988 Seville STS:



You can just see the little STS badge on the boot.
