The only thing this could do well was kill you in a head on collision.

@!Aznboi128: Good luck if you find a vista roof wagon. Unfortunately, the wagon craze resurgence has driven up prices for most everything wagons.

Also: I park across a Chrysler 200 in my complex. They are an attractive car inside and out. I'm guessing quality / sales issues led to their death? Same with the Dart. They both died so quickly and were pretty much being given away by dealers.

YOOOOOOOOOooo

I actually really liked those vans before. Aerodynamic shape ftw! Yea, I know its hard to find a good big wagon these days but one can dream.

GM did a few things right like this 70s RV. FWD for a flat rear floor, independent rear suspension it all makes sense.

i had a brief interest in tall wagons and had a thing for the mitsubishi space wagon (aka. spacegear rvr) from the early 2000's:



90's honda civic wagon was another:

I do like how Crosstour looks lowered with some wheels but its not for everyone.
ZDX... I'm still on the fence

I've actually been searching for cars like these for awhile but mostly to get a sense of market value (which varies hugely given location and condition).

Speaking of tall wagons. Nissan had a couple as well.





My cousin's family bought one of these ^ brand new. He kept bragging to me about how awesome it was to have sliding doors on both sides. He was right. A rare feature at that time.

I remember my mom looking at the Nissan Axxess. They were made up until 1996 for the North American market I think. This was around 2000, and she couldn't find any in good condition, so she ended up with a brand new Elantra Wagon instead.

was feeling nostalgic and remembered another one.

the nissan sentra coupe was one of the cars i coveted when i was in high school (i'm an old fart). everyone thought i was nuts because the sentra was just an underpowered econobox oddball here in north america, but i had dreams of finding a rhd wreck of a RZ-1 from japan and doing a swap into a LHD chassis here... of course it never happened. sigh.

not 100% sure, but the m30/leopard was a larger rwd platform, whereas the sentra/sunny was fwd (there was also 4wd as well)

Thinking about old Infiniti I really like the i30. A 4 door N/A 300zx was always cool

This went from a "weird cars that you like" thread to a nostalgia thread very quickly.

I always liked the Subaru Baja as a kid, especially in the two-tone colour
