I think it's an improvement over the "regular" '82 Imperial.

Yep, Seville Milan conversion job. It was a thoroughly pathetic attempt to compete with the MB SLs of the period, though not quite so awful from the back.
GM would produce its own similarly pathetic SL competitor a decade later.

Looks like a Chinese ripoff of a 2002 Honda Civic to me.

I'd take an Allante over that awkward thing any day of the week

I'd take a 1993 Allante with the Northstar in it. I think the Allante would've done a lot better if it had a decent engine in it all along. The first Allantes had to make do with the thoroughly mediocre 4.5 litre V-8. Still, the Allante was a very attractive car.

As a matter of fact it is Chinese. It's called the Coda, it's all electric and expected to sell for about $45K in California starting late 2010.
Good luck with that one. 
Coda Automotive.

A 45K knock off of an early 00s Civic (that rear end is just as bad) built by a rogue state. Should be an easy sell, and I am sure it is very crashworthy...

I'd still prefer the SL it was meant to compete with, but the Allante isn't offensive in any way...just half baked for the most part, which was about as good as it got for most GM products of that era.
