#16638 of 17964 X6 by gsemike Jul 01, 2009 (5:42 am)
Not a classic, but certainly on it's way to becoming obscure. I don't think that I ever saw one on the road before. It just looks weird. Why would you buy one instead of an X5?   Replies to this message: fintail (Jul 01, 2009 6:32 am) kyfdx (Jul 01, 2009 6:01 pm)

Replying to: boomchek (Jun 30, 2009 8:27 pm) "Still a nice car but looks too much like an A4, just larger scale"   Lucky that Audi had a good basic design at the time, the A4/A6/A8 were virtual triplets, except for size. Audi didn't take much grief for it, it seems.

Replying to: gsemike (Jul 01, 2009 5:42 am) I thinks it's for the highline SUV buyer who wants to play the "sport" masquerade above the others. It really is an odd thing, and in person it looks like it must weigh 10 tons.

Replying to: boomchek (Jun 30, 2009 8:27 pm) I bet it's a labor of love to keep one of those going today.   The SWB versions are especially like a larger A4.

Replying to: fintail (Jun 30, 2009 4:53 pm) ca. 1991 Mitsu Galant VR4 - the loaded high tech model that must suffer from both unobtanium parts and mechanical maladies, as they are virtually extinct now.   I dunno; they're basically the same drivetrain as the AWD turbo Eclipse and there are plenty of DSM parts out there.

Replying to: bumpy (Jul 01, 2009 6:36 am) Hmmm...maybe they just attracted less than careful ownership, kind of like most of the DSM coupes Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 01, 2009 7:14 am)

Replying to: fintail (Jul 01, 2009 7:12 am) The relationship with Chrysler didn't really do Mitsubishi much good in the end, did it?   Too bad, Mitsubishis are now very good cars.
#16646 of 17964 During lunch... by andre1969 Jul 01, 2009 (10:05 am)
I ran some errands in my '76 LeMans, and drove some back roads. Spotted a 1974 or so Corvette in a driveway, and a '66 T-bird landau, on jackstands, in another. Primer gray, looking a bit forlorn, and with a for sale sign in the window.
#16647 of 17964 in the past week.... by ghulet Jul 01, 2009 (2:23 pm)
....I saw:   67 (pretty sure only because of the steering wheel, 67-69s look alike to me) Thunderbird coupe, black, quite nice 10-footer (so-so amateur paint)   67 red Firebird 400 convertible, owned by the local Pozoleria guy, he's selling (wants something like $28k, eeek---I keep trying to remind myself that this was a $4k mass-produced car when new)   80(?) Trans-Am turbo Pace Car (white, prisine, had that nice, thick checked velour interior, those turbine-y looking wheels, T-tops, the contact paper dash, power windows and the cool Trans-Am steering wheel)   beat up 66 Buick Electra 225 coupe, I see all the time; can't imagine one as a daily driver, for the gas usage alone   the most beautiful example, if that's an adjective we can use for one, Checker Marathon station wagon, dark green (I think they stopped making these way before the sedans....this looked late-60s, if judging purely by smallish bumpers)
