    It rocks back and forth, bending the rusted-out strut towers nearly to their breaking points, when you slam the door in frustration.


    I bet pulling off those Buickesque hubcaps would halve the value.

    They used to be pretty common here in Canada, that is until they imploded into rust dust.


    There was an "Executive" model available, it was offered only in black and had a trunk mounted luggage rack. Because that's what executives needed.

    @General Halfshaftery: By the way, anyone know of a good website that documents "Canada only" models? I am intriqued by the diffent models/nameplates available, right across the border, but seldom (never?) seen here in the US...

    It's not an exhaustive list (I know in the mid-90's, Canada got a TVR that the US didn't), but it's a pretty good start. There's not really much you're missing out on, mostly just our sales divisions getting bored and playing around with badges and a glue gun.

    When I was 5, and my neighbour had one of these, I thought it was the coolestest car in the whole world.


    But I'm OK now. Since then, I've learnt some stuff about cars.

    Less Than Stellar would have been more appropriate.

    I haven't seen a Stellar in years, but I saw two different Hyundai Ponys within five minutes of each other earlier this week.

    I always wanted one of these, because I can't afford the repair bills of a Maserati Quattroporte III. Thanks Giugiaro!
