Subaru Brumby

I had no idea the BRAT as called the Crumby in some markets until now. Wow.

Its in Driveclub and project cars all I remember is its very fast.

I know the BMW Z3 isn't exactly forgotten and the M Coupe definitely isn't. But I never see or hear about the non-M Z3 3.0 Coupe.

How did i forgot about the GTPlanet livery in Project Cars?

Now if only PD makes an official one too, that would be nice.

Change that to Z3 overall and that would be me. Speaking of the BMW Z cars, the pre-facelift Z4 is something i tend to forget too.

On the topic of forgotten BMW Z-cars, let's bring up the Z1.



I never see it mentioned anywhere.

I remember when this was on top gear and a woman got in the car. I have never seen it on the road.

The 2006 Lamborghini Muira concept, shame that it never went into production.

 

[Populuxe]

1972-1976 Toyota Corona Mark II (X20). There are a whole lot of Japanese cars from the 1970s that are mostly forgotten today. I really love the coke-bottle styling of this sexy coupe.

Speaking of Toyota's, here's a much less interesting one:

Toyota Venza

I think I posted this before. It kinda reminds me of the Lexus RX300 in some ways.

Nissan Pintara

Skyline sister?

 

[Obelisk]

My mom had a Venza. That ugly thing was fast.

 

[Populuxe]

This thread reminds me I have not seen a Renault Le Car (aka Renault 5) for years now.

My family actually owned two. My sister bought one as her first car. i remember it because I was with her. We went out for dinner one night when my parents were out. She had just graduated high school and I had just started. She mentioned wanting to buy a new car and I mentioned the Le Car. After dinner she went to the dealership and drove out with a gold w/black stripes manual trans canvas roof model for $4750. My parents lost their minds when they came home to see a new car parked out front. My sister owned that car for a long time. She definitely got her money out of it. My dad was so impressed with it he went and bought a white one with red stripes for his commute to Boeing. He owned his for quite a few years, too.

Feels like I never really hear about the Cayman R anymore.

Skyline sister?

Not forgotten here in Australia. Plenty still on the road and for sale used(some molested as P-plater drift cars).

The 'yota or Nissan?

Venza wasn't officially sold here and I rarely hear about it. As for the Pintara, same story really.

On the other hand, the skyline from around that Era is still the most popular skylines over here.

The Suzuki Verona.

It's the definition of "a car."

Looks like a Chevrolet Epica to me.

 

[Populuxe]

1978 Mercury Zephyr 2-door sedan

Background: standard 2-door sedan. Foreground: ESS (European Sports Sedan) trim package.

These old Zephyrs actually clean up pretty nice. A few tasteful modifications will make for one good looking malaise-era sedan.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Always seem to forget the old C70 coupe.

 

[Michelin Man]

Always seem to forget the old C70 coupe.

Yea they really do seem to be forgotten it'd seems. Over here at least, they've almost vanished from what I can see, as not too long ago, you'd usually see C70's in decent numbers, certainly the coupe more than the convertible anyway.

Feels like I never really hear about the Cayman R anymore.

All that has done is remind me how much prettier the first Cayman is.

Living in America, the only Volvo that's above 10 years old that I still see pretty frequently is the V70/XC70.



Everything else has died out.

I still see a bunch of the boxy 240s around.

It depends where in the country you are. They are still pretty popular in New England and the Pacific Northwest. Everywhere else, they've vanished. There are none around my area.

 

[ToyGTone]

Volvo are almost non existing in my country at this point. I remember spotting an old USDM V70 couple days ago but that's all I could think of right now. I don't really see anyone driving a volvo nowadays.

"The Sprinter Trueno...that's not the Ae86" cars:

Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE92

And this 90's BZR, Gran Turismo 1 anyone?

More than just GT1. It appeared in every version of GT.

The Nissan

Daewoo Matiz

When I first arrived at Sydney Airport, 10 years ago, these things were all over the place.
I've only just been reminded of it because, a neighbor just bought one as a runabout. Same color as that photo even.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I honestly forgot about the C-Max's existance. I just haven't seen one in a while.

I don't think we ever got the C-Max over here.

 

[All Your Base]

I forgot the first-generation Dodge Intrepid existed until I saw one a few days ago.
