Unicorns

[SVT666]

What is your automotive unicorn?  That car that you would buy if you could find it.  The one that very very few were made and sold in the US or Canada.  Colour, body style, engine and transmission, and/or even seat options.  What is your unicorn and describe it.

VW based Rometsch

CTS-V wagon in electric blue with dark graphite wheels, sunroof, Recaros, and 6 MT.

Great thread. Shit, I'll have to think about this one. The CTS-V you described certainly comes to mind.

You're in luck then.  One is going on the market early next year... sale of the Ferrari California Spyder, a model which regularly fetches $10–$15 million. The auction takes place on February 6, 2015.

Raza can't afford that, but Dave could.

Not exactly a Unicorn, but I have always considered an '05/06 Lincoln LS with the 3.9 Jaguar V8 as being very desirable.  If I could find one with low mileage and fully optioned, black of course, I'd be sorely tempted.

Not really a unicorn, but nice cars. The downside for me is interior design is pretty bland with crappy plastic.

Still, it would be an upgrade from what I'm used to.

I actually owned a unicorn.  Well, a unicorn in America, anyway.

My Peugeot 405 was one of the very few 405 wagons sold in America.  Mine was also the only manual transmission equipped 405 wagon I've ever seen on this side of the Atlantic.  There can't have been very many of those sold on these shores.

My unicorn:

There's one driven by a dentist (I think that's who owns it) that parks every day two minutes from my work. Manual transmission. License plate said 5DR ZR1

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

My unicorn:

It's a doctor here that has one just like this! IDK if it's a manual but He also has a Honda S2000......

[MexicoCityM3]

Yep, a CTS-V wagon. Definite unicorn car.

Also, Focus RS. I can get you one here.

Apparently 31 made it into this country.

[Soup DeVille]

Unicrons? They seem kind of high maintenance, I think I'll pass



Oh wait, I misread that. Never mind.

[CALL_911]

Wow, hell yeah to that Supra

[FoMoJo]

Also, Focus RS. I can get you one here.

Definitely.  They're, supposedly, going to be available here, in the US as well, in a couple of years.  In the meantime, I'd be happy with a Focus ST.

Check these out. At today's exchange rate, they're about 20K:

Some guy @ Jalopnik got one federalised and was spewing nonsense about only 4 having been sold in Mexico. As you can clearly see, that's utter bullshit. There are many available.

That's a good deal.  A new Focus ST entry level here is over $30,000Cdn.

Had one of these (NX2000) a long time ago. Loved it.

[SVT666]

Why are the NX and Corrado unicorns?  They were pretty common.

Z4M coupe, I don't care what color or transmission it has.
