The Forgotten Cars Thread

[Roush_fan_99]

I walked by a Ford focus today and got me thinking about the Aston Martin Cygnet. That car either died a quiet death or lives on in some forgotten way.

Someone over here in my near owns one in pee yellow, so I'd say it lives on in some forgotten way.

Ha!

Opel Vectra A

 

[Neddo]

Škoda Superb! Especially looks good in yellowgreen at Geneva (I honestly don't know if it's the fastest Superb). Especially Scout version which we don't have today.

 

[Tyger]

Opel Vectra A

Interesting, that was still badged as a Vauxhall Cavalier here, but last gen before the Vectra replaced it. And yeah, thanks for the reminder

 

[Neddo]

Great in 3.6 FSI

 

[NFSCARBON1]

Opel Vectra A

A surprisingly good reliable solid car. Unlike the Vectra B that followed

I forgot that they made a Celica coupe.

I had no idea they made an ST18* coupe.

It's sort of like the ST20* Curren being the coupe version of the ST20* Celica.

 

[Tornado]

Well, in countries that didn't have an actual ST20x Celica coupe.

Spotted this couple days ago, Chevrolet Epica, which's a daewoo apparently.

Speaking of Daewoo's, does anybody ever remember this?

My Teacher back in the day used to have one in dark blue, i bet it's in the junkyard right now.
-------------------------------
This Gen (or any older) Mitsubishi Galant, used to be a more common car to spot. Not so nowadays.

---------------------------
Buick Roadmaster, same reason as above...in fact every car on this list.

In looking up crap convertibles the other day:

 

[Legro]

Speaking of which; the Peugeot 207 CC

I had almost completely forgotten that Peugeot continued the 20x CC after the 206, until I saw one yesterday.

 

[Dennisch]

In looking up crap convertibles the other day:

Ahh yes. The Astra F. One deep pothole and your doors are stuck.

Speaking of Daewoo's, does anybody ever remember this?

That reminds me, I saw something in my town that I never thought I would see; a Daewoo dealership.
Seriously, of all the times I've seen Daewoos, I never encountered a Daewoo dealer once.

 

[Legro]

Seriously, of all the times I've seen Daewoos, I never encountered a Daewoo dealer once.

That's probably because they haven's sold any Daewoos in most markets since 2005.

 

[Razor440]

The Ford Splash Concept car, eventually that name went onto a Ford Ranger as a "sporty" trim model.

 

[Liquid]

That's probably because they haven's sold any Daewoos in most markets since 2005.

To be fair, I don't recall ever seeing a Chevrolet dealership either.

 

[lxmmy]

First-gen Volvo S40.

 

[7up747]

This Gen (or any older) Mitsubishi Galant, used to be a more common car to spot. Not so nowadays.

They are almost all rusted into pieces now.

 

[Tornado]

Or they are constantly obscured by the giant wall of white as they tirelessly work to convert engine lubrication directly into a smokescreen.

I just figured out the name of this again, the Lucra LC470. I forgot its existance until I saw this one at a car event last month. I remember first learning of this car from an episode of Top Gear USA.

[ToyGTone]

McLaren 12C

I only remembered it today because of the old Gran Turismo 5.

Can't blame you. Not exactly the most memorable supercar in terms of looks :/

 

[ToyGTone]

All the 3 generations of Toyota Previa, used to be far more common on the road but nowadays all i see is ether Innova or Avanza.

Looks like any number of exaggerated Lister-style kit cars, and just happens to have a windshield also available on the kit car market for use on Porsche 356 replicas.

These were rebadged as Holdens in Australia. Complete commercial failures though.

Someone over here in my near owns one in pee yellow, so I'd say it lives on in some forgotten way.

Someone near me also owns one, I see it drive by sometimes. It's in silver with that red leather interior. I think quite a few Aston owners with some money to burn bought them for their teenagers or partners which I guess was the whole aim of it.

Can't blame you. Not exactly the most memorable supercar in terms of looks :/

I agree is was kinda bland but it looked a lot nicer than the P1 face they tried to apply to it for the facelift

 

[GranTurismo guy]

These used to be absolutely everywhere. Can't remember the last time I saw one now.
