Guest Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I bet it looked out dated compared to the rest of the Japanese pack of that year. 88-91 Honda Civics, Celicas, Supras, RX7's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Look at all those Chrysler turds in the background. I bet you they all ended up in the junkyard and have already returned from China in the form of cheap crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 one of those turds is a caravan,, and for almost 20 years they toped the van sales , they actualy caused the car industry to re think their entine car lines I know you're partial to them and to some degree, they made an impact on the industry. But they still turds. Mini vans existed in other brands around the world before the Caravan. It's in the states where the Caravan made an impact. The rest of those Chrysler turds in the background, you coul not pay me to own one of them. Lebaron, what a pile of garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 To those who ever got to drive one new: how did they feel new? They had to have felt more powerful than the tired out dogs we drive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edde Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Indescribable. Tight and new and wicked fast. Steering with no play, drivetrain with no play. Pretty amazing compared to what it is now. The GN's were a problem, but not much else was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty amazing compared to what it is now. The GN's were a problem, but not much else was. I wonder if replacing every single rubber component in the steering and suspension will make the cars feel almost like new again? Suspension wise at least. It be waay too expensive to get the new feeling out of the engine, injectors, hareness, ecu, sensors, engine trans, diff etc etc. Are new OEM engines still availlable I wonder? Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever asked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 The first time I ever saw a SQ was at a car show like that. My dad was looking at RX7's/Supras/300ZX's at the time and had pretty much settled on a Supra. We went to a new car show in Nashville, and saw a red one and a white one. Neither of us had seen or even known about them at the time, but within a week, the old man scrapped plans for the Supra, and had a new Starion sitting in the driveway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I saw one I was in JR. High, 87ish, widebody I walked past every morning. Few years later at 15 1/12 I was driving around in a red Cordia. SQ's were still really pricy. The Cordia my father bought with a blown headgasket. Imagine that. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
