I don't recall seeing one of these before.How to yawn: in 2 easy steps.
Step one: Hop onto google.com.
Step two: search "Dodge Journey."
They still make this!? I'm baffled that they've kept such an archaic design in production for such a long time.

Chevrolet Cobalt/Pontiac G5
Apart from some PS2-era Need For Speed, i don't remember hearing anyone talk about it ever since.

One could say the Cobalt and G5 were "one-hit-wonders," but that would imply that the car was popular at one point in time.

When the SS debuted, I thought it was the closest thing we could get to a Skyline(in a 4 seat coupe with round lights out back). Same with the Impala back then.I don't recall seeing one of these before.

The Cobalt wasn't a bad looking race car either. Didn't it have a Supercharger & Turbo?

-> That G5/Pursuit conversion should've been made in the first place, it was a cleaner option.
->But my favorite was the HHR-version since it was tested in Nurbie-Ring plus hatch points:
^ The Cobalt Coupes rear-end always made me puke. At least the Impala executed marginally better, but still dismal at best.

^ The SS/SC was from 2005-2007 in Coupe-only form. But from 2008-2010 the SS/TC (Turbo) came in both Sedan & Coupe body styles.

I find nothing wrong with the T100, I merely genuinely forgot they made it prior to the Tundra until I saw one on the road and was reminded.

Wow, pop up headlights, near-solid wheels, and an extremely boxy design. Shout out to the interior, too. It dates itself extraordinarily well.
It's so delightfully 80's and I love it so much.

Mitsubishi 3000GT (or GTO) Spyder. I saw one a couple weeks ago, completely forgot about it! Never realized how rare they were. I remember having a Matchbox Mitsubishi 3000GT Spyder as a kid.

Knew there was a 3000GT Spyder, but not a VR-4 version. Imagine Mitsubishi trying to market a car for that much today.

Was reminded of the existence of the Fiat Brava today. Remember these being rated highly when they were new - usual story of 70s-90s-era Fiat not breaking any new ground with handling or quality but nailing packaging and making it a bit more stylish than the other mainstream brands.
For those unaware, Fiat was also one of the first manufacturers to distinctively differentiate its three- and five-door models in terms of styling. Both had a similar front end, but were quite different from the A-pillar back. Beforehand most 5dr cars looked exactly like the 3dr ones with a couple of extra doors, but since it's been quite popular to make the 3dr one look a lot more rakish. Though now several manufacturers are just ditching 3drs entirely...
