A fake-looking Jensen 911 hybrid.

It's still cool though.
 
This is the first time I ever heard of this car, and I already like it.
 
Perhaps the only Brazilian four-wheeled VW vehicle I like (the Amazonas is definitely nifty), and I love it, but it is not cool.
 
I used to like the Corrado the most, now it's this one.
 
Reliant Scimitar x Porsche 911

Very cool.
 
Honestly, this looks like a very cheaply made kit-car, and if you disagree you can cash me ousside how bow dah.
 
It's a lazy amalgamation of period cars, but it works better than it should and it has charm.

Well there's a car I haven't seen in years and had forgotten about. Of course it's cool, just look at it! Interior looks better made than anything VW in Germany were turning out at the time too.
 
Are you sure this is a VW? It looks a hell of a lot like the Alpine A310.

...Cool.
 
Never heard of it, but me likey.

Cool.
 
A lot more interesting than a Maverick.

Cool.
 
Cool. Saab Sonnet's beautiful Brasilian-German cousin. :D
 
The front shouldn't match up the rest of the car yet it works even better than it did on the old 412 and Brasilia. Magic mishmash.

Cool.
 
Amazing. Never heard of it, but I'm glad I did now. But 31500€ is a lot for one of these.
