Another for the Focus RS. I fell in love with that car when I was in the UK. They make a great noise.

Not sure what it would be classified as but a Nissan GTR R35 soooo bad. These things are just not depreciating at all!

No but compared to a new one you can get a pretty decent deal on a lower mileage 2009 ... I've seen them in the upper 60s.

I'd love to find a clean, unmolested CRX Si. That ship sailed a long long time ago.

The 205 GTI was an amazing car. I wish I had been old enough to get one when I lived in England.

It took the Rabbit GTI to another level in the mid-80s after the Gen II GTI got bigger.

A Legacy S402........But boosted a bit more than normal.

Also this lovely thing:



Peugeot RCZ. Not a very powerful car but a head turner to be sure.

And this:



Nisan GT-R R34 Nismo Z-Tune

A Z-Tune would be badass, but you have to be a serious enthusiast to dump new Ferrari/Lamborghini coin on it.

Finally, some European cars!

So, I am inching closer to getting the Alfa Romeo 155. Has anyone here ever owned an Alfa Romeo?

I look from time to time for one myself. It's just so rare to find an unmolested one or an example without the classic fender arch rust. The ones I do come across that are 100% stock and in good shape are HFs or DXs, very, very rarely an Si and when it is one it's like $6k-7k on eBay. Way too much for one. I miss my '88 Si. It was by far the funest handling car I've ever owned.

When I was working for a local Honda dealer in college, there wasa customer that brought his CRX Si in a few times. Extremely clean in black. Only problem I saw just driving it in the lot was the seat belt retractors were worn out. Plus, what ever it was in service for.

That's exotic as far as I'm concerned.

Hey Ken! There's an unmolested 89 CRX Si that I see regularly parked outside of a local church in Somerville, NJ.. (Not for sale unfortunately. )

Sounds like a lady that brought her....'76 (IIRC) Civic in for some service.
I think just about every tech that worked there asked how if she'd sell it.
