"Today's Best Buys"

Thanks for sharing, on my way to Barnes & Noble

 

Interesting. I'll be picking up a copy as well.

 

What are the other cars on their list?

 

tongue in cheek ...

Maserati Biturbo, Maserati Merak, Fiat X1-9, Ford 1979 Mustang II Cobra, Chevy Vega, Jaguar XJ-S, Pontiac Firebird late 80s, Delorean, GMC Caballero, and finally the Hummer H2.

 

You left off the Cadillac Cimarron.

 

Chevy Citation X-11 - I'll take mine in black please...

 

Hey based on beauty alone, can't rule out Pontiac Aztek!!!!

 

I was trying to remember the name of that ugly bird.

 

Cmon, people, why all the GM albatrosses bashing!!?? LOL

I like the sunbird GT.

 

Don't forget the Fiat 850-the gateway drug to the 308 GT4

 

Ah, yes, the XJS. The most perfect car in dire need of Chevrolet engine transplant.

I remember, back in the late 1980s, people were inquiring to Jaguar if they could just buy the car without the motor. ROFL

The car was a gorgeous car, and had an impeccable differential, and great brakes, but the motor was iffy and the lucas electronics, abominable; plus the Marconi educated wiring engineers did really strange things with the wiring harness design.

An overbored big block Chev, with a 3.76" stroke and 4.5" bore, using good rods, crank and modified heads, was wondrous (7500 RPM) thing, in one of these cars.

My wife is going to be upset with me, years ago I sold her Mustang Cobra II

 

Any model car made by MG in the 70's or 80's

 

Definitely agree with the Lotus Elise, Porsche 930 and Jag E-Type. And of course the 308. All are a lot of car for not much money.

 

Other than 308, I like that the Elise is on the list. I'm surprised to see Shelby Cobra; I would've thought it has seen significant appreciation. Early 930s have also been going up the past couple of years.

 

Thanks!

The one that catches my eye is the DB7. Checking on-line, they have depreciated down into 308 territory. Wow.
