Got the link for that video and website? Week off work, could do with a rabbit hole to jump down lol.

Here's one of the links the guy commenting on my youtube videos gave me. It's a type of picture website basically.

Fantastic, thank you.

Pontiac Wave. First gen Aveo for Canada. *yawn*

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

I've seen pianos with bigger wheels than that.

 

[CTznOfTime]

If the car is not interesting in anyways, why should we even need to care about its existance?

That Pontiac is making a tiny wave in my interest scale...

Cause if you don't know about history then we are doomed to repeat it.

Troller T4, a SUV made by a Brazillian company that's owned by Ford. It's like a Ford Jeep or something.

^ That Troller deserves to be re-badged as the Ford Bronco in the US.

That's the new one, that looks nice. The old one looks just like a Wrangler...

The name Troller is a non-official Portuguese adaptation of the English word troll.

I agree actually, I wouldn't mind it if Ford sold it here as a Bronco or some new name they would come up with.

Wow, it really is Ford's Jeep. Anyway yeah, I like the look of the new one except for the grill. That's the only thing I would want Ford to change visually if they were to sell it in the US.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ Actually, the old one was a pre-Ford engineered run. The new one may qualify as a One Ford model with a little tweaks.

Just saw that in Octane magazine, awesome car, like the V12 big brother to the Dino. I'll let you fix your image links though

It isn't interesting, but that's not the point of this thread.

Up until today, I don't know they sold a convertible variant of the old Holden Barina in Australia (better known as the Opel/Vauxhall Corsa B).

Now, not to knock GM's quality control, but the state of that roof just makes it look like a cheap conversion. Admittedly, a photo of this particular example probably isn't the best, since the car looks in pretty rough shape. But alas, it still looks silly - even more so because of the supporting braces for when the roof is down.

Despite my complaints, it is a fairly neat idea, especially since it was long before the craze of convertible variants of popular hatchbacks (barring the Golf). I find it strange they didn't sell it in other areas; I get the feeling it would've sold decently enough. Then again, I also feel it would have been better suited to the Tigra of the period, even more so considering it was the same platform.

Oh God, I can feel the scuttle shake from here..

I went on the internet and I found this:

The Comarth Xtamy. Spanish made, with a 2.0 Ford Duratec engine, good for approx 200bhp. Weighs around 800kg, so performance is nippy enough. Got to be honest, to say I'm not a fan of the styling would be quite the understatement. It gets worse around the back, where it looks like a cheap knock-off of a Smart Roadster.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

$2,640 for the original price. Yes it's a trailer queen, saw it drive in a enclosed trailer.

Actually, since they didn't seem to remove any roof without replacing it with 2 inch thick rollbar, it might not be too bad.

I went on Google to look up pics of a Renault 5 Turbo for this thread and then i found this car:

It's a Renault-AMC 5 Turbo II PPG Pace Car!

Even for being a really huge fan of the R5 Turbo, i didn't know this thing existed at all.

 

[SnakeOfBacon]

I discovered today that, for many years, Daihatsu made a very tall Walk-through Van version of their Mira

Splendid.

 

[Wiegert]

Looking for decent Ford Orion shots when I came across its 2-door Brazilian counterpart (Ford Verona). Also sold as the VW Apollo as part of the Autolatina joint venture.

Was built on the chassis of the 1981 IMSA GTU 5 Turbo.

The roofline kinda resembled the Tommykaira ZZ-II.....

Didn't know that Galpin did Lincolns.
