So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?

[A12pilot]

I was thinking of this the other day when I saw a late 80s Dodge Daytona Turbo Z. Some cars you just don't see on the road anymore. That's one of them! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif For whatever reason, some cars just don't make it long term. Oh course there's a reason for that, I'm sure. So what haven't you seen burnin' up the streets around you 'hood?

I've heard a rumor the Yugo was going back into production as a 4 door -- will be called the Wego ... (I know -- this is old ... so am I) TAZ <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif

We owned a '76 Buick Century with the V6 for a while. You never see any of them, or their Oldsmobile equivalent anymore.
Traded the Buick for a '63 Riviera.

we were talking the other day on the amount of 90s hondas around here but you dont see any Ford taurus that was the most sold car on the road. They must not have held up.

When I was at St. Thomas on my cruise this year I spotted a 1987 Z24 Cavalier in good shape.. You just don't see those anymore.. I took a picture of the car.. I will try to downloaded here from my phone.. My first new car was an 89 Z24 Cavalier.. I loved that car... It was quick too..

A Merkur XR4TI. Couldnt tell you the last time I saw one. I see a little old lady with her pristine Mustang II a few times a week and even a few pinto wagons

[427TJ]

Every once in a while I'll see an unmodified, stock 1985-90 Mustang V8. Egg-poacher wheels, twin beveled stainless tailpipes, &quot;5.0&quot; emblem on the fender. Always catches my eye.

[markinnaples]

Here's a Pacer for you, it's called the Flying Aquarium:

[roeville]

I have a bet with my co-worker to see which one of us spots a Pacer in the wild because he had one many years ago. Neither of us has seen one since the bet - the last year or so.

[427TJ]

We used to call Pacers terrariums. (No water.)

Those (Merkur XR4TI)hauled A$$...on the top end. A buddy had one when they were new, we did 130 mph + laid back with the AC on down I-71 out of Cle. @ about 2 in the morning...We called it &quot;The Egg&quot; <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

SHO Taurus was a bad ride for what it was. Older guy I worked with in college at Auto Zone up in Bowling Green, KY had several of them and would go up to Mid Ohio and race one in street trim. And it was a 5 speed IIRC..

[markinnaples]

A guy brought out a Toyota Supra circa 1988 to our club show a few weeks ago and it had been a long time since I've seen one of those.

[danachevroletfor1967]

Here locally there is a 1989 Beretta listed for sale in our local newspaper classifieds. Also whenever I go for a walk downtown there is always a Merkur XR4TI parked in the same spot. For as many as they built I see very few 3rd gen Camaros around here anymore. I think I actually see more 2nd gens, including mine.

[Mr70]

1984 Fiero,and with good reason.

[Mr. Chevy]

Fieros were neat cars.. Slow as all hell but still cool little cars..

I knew of one that had a Caddy Northstar V8 along with drive train bolted in -- looked factory ... took care of that &quot;slow as hell&quot; problem. TAZ

Subaru Brat! Probably for a reason...


<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif

And around here, I don't see any of the mid eighties Camaros, Firebirds, or Corvettes despite the popularity of them. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif

The last Fiero I saw someone had made a 3 wheeler out of it.

Yep, I havent seen any z24 Cavaliers on the road in quite awhile. Lots of cars already mentioned that you just dont see.

My dad bought a brand new 1971 Datsun 1200 Fastback. Wasnt alot of them back then either. Never see them.

I don't know about the Honda Prelude part. My daily driver is an 89 2.0Si 4WS and I see them around few weeks or so.

[markinnaples]

Jack, I'm a big fan of the 84-92(?) Prelude, I just never ever see them around unfortunately. Your '89 is the loaded one, pretty cool. My ex had a white '88 S that was just beautiful to drive, as were most Honda's between the mid-80's to early 90's. To me, those were Honda's golden years.
