Ford Escort Cosworth

The car that taught the Impreza how to be cool.
 
You know those cars that ppl keep dissing, you know, the tiny French things with the deformed roofs? Well, those cars rule!
 
Even in rusty form it can outperform many a car. Just look at those thin almost solid rubber tyres.
 
Solid as a rock that car!
Remember its a citroen, so it has that hydraulic lowering suspension. Groundbreaking in its day.
 
My favourite car - the SSX Design Concept (or AWD VY commodore Hatch). Here are some pics.

Yes this rules.
The venerable Citroen 2CV. Too small and slow for the U.S.
And its 2-stroke engine would have the EPA up in arms. :lol:
 
The Deux Chevaux - "two horses". The car so lame that three lugs per wheel were enough. The seats are canvas slings on a frame like a beach chair, too. Or at any rate, they were in the 50s. For what it's worth, I don't beli8eve the 2CV had the hydraulic suspension of whicj you speak. It was the DS (see below) that had an air suspension, that was adjustable on the fly via a lever down near the driver's footwell. They could be jacked up and down quite a bit, and had the amusing habit of collapsing with a huge sigh of relief when the ignition was turned off and the compressor quit.

Thanks for posting a car with some originality, unlike the ones at the top of the thread. Now here's a French car that does kick some butt:

heh. a Citroen DS.

the 2cv is basic transportation, kinda like a VW Beetle or a Ford Model T, only it's built even more cheaply, and it's even more gutless.

Renault R5/Le Car. you'll never find a ****tier car. although the Turbo and Turbo II Mid engined models were quite impressive. (think Clio Sport V6, but back in the 1980s)

wait, i found a ****tier car. Lada Samara. Russian engineering at its best.

Unless you're stupid, you know this is my favourite car. Sorry, neon_duke, if this isn't original enough, but I'd kill for one (or all three - this is a damn cool picture!).

By the way PunkRock - have you forgotten the Yugo? It was every bit as bad as the Samara, and uglier!

Yugo, in running order :lol: . I think that even the rednecks don't bother to use them as "yard ornaments" anymore.
("If you've ever mowed your yard and found a car... You might be a Redneck".)
Let's not forget the GM dealer in Tennessee that would give you a Yugo if you bought a Riviera.
 
that's why i'll never die with peace of mind, even the junkyards don't want them! :lol:
