Great car, isn't it? I've rode in one, and it's the perfect balance of performance and luxury. Very plush, comfy interior.

Luxurious?
 
I got a heck of a deal, It had 117,568 miles on it and I bought it for $880.00 and it still runs brand new.
 
Seeing a Micra CC today reminded me of the Mitsubishi's version of the hardtop convertible supermini.

Unfortunately for me, I see one regularly when I'm walking to the train station, they're horrible things.
 
2009 Kia Borrego, Kia's largest SUV. I think of these as Kia Suburbans, because both are V8 powered, truck based, and large. It looked pretty good, but was a sales disaster. It was only sold in the states for one year, and sold roughly 5,000 units.

That car was a magnificent piece of engineering, but it's too bad it was released at a time when big personal luxury coupes were fading away. If it was introduced 10 years earlier than it would be a real sales success.
 
I just remembered the Kia Cee'd.

These should come to the U.S....
 
Ford EXP is not extinct it seems. I saw one yesterday with blue smoke trailing. It is basically the Escort ZX2 of it's day. Still interesting to see at least one still alive.
