It's a shame how Toyota only lets Asia/Middle East experience their good minivans. We Americans are stuck with this:^ What about the Alphard? They even sold the earlier generation over here but sadly no one bought it and Toyota just pulled them out.
Here's the current gen which looks awesome for a minivan IMO.
the Mitsubishi Grandis
I could probably say the same about the current Honda's odyssey minivan which I actually talked about before on another thread.There's something about the Japanese market vans that makes them look so much taller and narrower than the ones we get here. Take that Sienna for example. By no means is it a sporty shape, but it has a squattier look to it than the Alphard. I wonder how they would look in person side by side.
Once again seconding a like for the 75/ZT, partly because of nostalgia factor I suppose, the ZT-T is the car my parents had back in the mid 00s (and again in early 2010s) after all, but the car was indeed an appealing one. I was seriously considering buying one about a year ago but the issue that exist with them is that the good non-V8 examples are starting to get more rare than trees with some money growing out of them, which on the other hand simply describes the V8 models to begin with.Another excuse to post my old car...
Had the one of the best rides of anything I've driven. Nice car, but I bought a poor example (in hindsight I'm fairly sure it had been a minicab in Leeds...). If I had the space and the finances I think I'd buy another, but it'd need to be V6 and auto rather than the diesel/manual I bought. ZT appeals too, but top of the pile are the V8 versions of each. Handsome, well-built, but with an engine that seems entirely appropriate for the look of the car.
I'm not entirely sure if I should and I suppose it's mostly the fact I don't see these on our roads but I'm sort of intrigued by the Sienna to an extend. It does look like a reasonably comfortable place to sit in at the very least.

They were everywhere over here (not sure if they still are - they tend to fade into the background). Popular, but not particularly good cars, albeit reasonably nicely styled.Holden Barina
I liked these in old UK magazines as Opels. It's a simple smooth looking hatch, that's a potential tarmac rally car.
I love how this looks in this colour combo:

It's so '90s, but it works very well on the little C-HR. I really like how funky the car looks, and if I were in the market for something in this class, I'd have a hard time between this and the CX-3 just because of this colour combo.
How about a nice stock old 80's Honda Civic Hatchback in Red and Black? Awww...it caught my attention more than a Supra nearby.

So Boxy, So Clean, So eighties. Awwww so beautiful.
Screw owning new cars, i want this to be my daily driver.
Most of the EG hatches over here are fitted with your average aftermarket mp3/radio player, BBS rims and Bucket Seats. I recall seeing one in nearly stock which surprised me a lot and had a similar reaction but not as big as this one. The one above is really rare to spot over here nowadays, let alone in that lovely condition.I regularly see a similar case near me, except it's an absolutely immaculate EG Civic Hatch, in it's original Aztec Green. Seen it up relatively close, and there didn't seem to be an ounce of rust, or any visible marks, was in great condition, and even more remarkable was that it wasn't even an elderly person driving it .
I smell some gangsta's with their donks and Lowrider's.
Something about the 80's and early 90's Caprice Classics speak to me.
Contrary to the common stereotypes, the majority of Caprice Classic owners are people over 60.I smell some gangsta's with their donks and Lowrider's.
Caprice overall (That one along with 90's and older, not counting the "Holden" one) or just the Classic trim model? You're probably more than likely to be right but i would say it's somewhere around 30-60 age over here. Not sure about North America or the rest of the world really.Contrary to the common stereotypes, the majority of Caprice Classic owners are people over 60.

Their cousin, Olds Ninety-Eight, were "O J's"(high profile gypsy cabs) back in my day. The plush velour seats were heaven.I smell some gangsta's with their donks and Lowrider's.
Yes!One of those cars I've considered on numerous occasions, but always end up buying something else.
It's a raising beltline done well. All the lines originate somewhere and go somewhere else.Yes!
Also, the Diablo style sloped door windows, are the best.

I would say it's better with the pre-facelift front end, with the small grille, rather than the slightly weird upper lip of the post-facelift one and its wider grille.
