The Forgotten Cars Thread

Forgot all about the Lamborghini (Italdesign) Cala. Remembered it when talking to a friend about older Need for Speed games. Looking at pictures brings back memories.

Which reminds me...they also had this in NFS II SE and NFS III.

Ha, why don't you look at that.

I've been watching the TV show "Psych" and I got reminded that there was a mk1 Toyota Yaris/Vitz sold in Canada as an Echo hatchback.

Thought this was a kit car but it was a Saab Sonet

 

[Cowboy]

Bertone Mantide

Until I had started to play Forza 4 on my dad's XBOX, I completely forgot about this car. Not the best looking in my opinion, but I assume the performance is good.​

In Forza 4, it's a bit of a pig.

Seat Malaga. Just saw one for sale.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

The Apollo 3500 GT

and I forgot about the 2nd Gen Pontiac Vibe aswell.

B Engineering Edonis.

It was based off of the Bugatti EB110. It sure does look worse, though.

 

[Aerocoupe]

The Callaway Camaro completely escaped my mind.

I always forget about Wiesmann

I always forget about Wiesmann

That picture reminds me...

I forgot the Opel Corsa existed, which I guess isn't the worst car to forget about.

 

[ToyGTone]

Any generation of Ford Taurus before the current one. I don't forget it that much but i always feel as if Taurus existed only after Crown Victoria production stopped.
Like this for example, i remember back when i was young, i tend to confused this and the Crown Vic from the same period. Yeah i'm too dumb

Speaking of Ford cars, here's ford Scorpio:

Venturi 300....

Second generation Opel Manta.

2003 Ford Visos Concept

Was intended as a modern take on the Capri. Kinda wished they'd made it.

 

[Neddo]

Geo/Chevy/Suzuki Tracker. Haven't seen one of these in forever.

I forgot that they made a Celica coupe.

Ford Falcon Panel Vans:

i used to see them alot in the 90s but since then, never.

ah man, i used to love this car when i was playing NFS 2

I forgot that they made a Celica coupe.

Now that you mentioned this, you reminded me of the Toyota Solara:

Spoiler: and...

...Come to think of it, i never ever heard of a coupe version of the XV10 Camry....

After following one home from work today, I learned Suzuki makes an AWD Swift. Definitely slipped under my radar.

The Daihatsu Charade. I just remembered it after seeing the Toyota Yaris from that generation earlier today. When I first saw one (there actually is one roaming around the streets in my town), I was genuinely baffled. I was like "WTF, is that just a Yaris with a Daihatsu badge stuck on it by someone or is that a Daihatsu for real?" Turned out it was a proper Daihatsu.

 

[Legro]

is that just a Yaris with a Daihatsu badge stuck on it by someone

A Ferrari or even BMW badge I'd get, but a Daihatsu badge. It kind of makes sense that it's a genuine Daihatsu.

Kinda true. However, I didn't know that there actually was basically a Yaris from Daihatsu before I actually googled it, so yeah, that's why I thought that. 👍
