Some great cars around today too, to be fair, but the choice in certain categories has certainly diminished. The lack of small coupes like the Paseo above (or the Ford Puma, Vauxhall Tigra, Nissan 100NX, Megane Coupe, Mazda MX3, Honda CRX, Isuzu Impulse etc) always slightly irritates me, as that's the kind of vehicle I'd be interested in today. The last that got close was probably the Honda CRZ. But compact crossovers (Juke et al) have basically taken over from that market, and while some of those cars are great, they're not the kind of cars I want to spend my money on.So many good cars from 20 years ago.
The MkI & MkII Scirocco, along with G60, were my favorites.Some great cars around today too, to be fair, but the choice in certain categories has certainly diminished.

In the UK there don't seem to be many left, which could be a part of it. I agree though, it seems like a good blank canvas. That silver one I posted looks great, to me, and all that has are a set of wheels and a bit of a drop. Throw in availability of engine swaps with the cheapness of Starlet bits and you'd think we'd see a few more nice ones.I don't understand why the Paseo isn't a more popular base for modification. AE111 Trueno / Levin looks with Starlet underpinnings. Sounds like a great, cost effective package.
That's one for @eiriksmil
I need another 240.View attachment 646301
Looks great other than those LEDs, imo. I've noticed a trend as of late with people throwing on lights that really don't suit the style of the build, and end up ruining the effect that they were going for.
In love with these Tails
