Looking straight out of someones grandparents driveway, complete with cobweb under the front passenger wheel. I wonder if this one has the touch screen and if so does it work?

Confession time: I’d love to own one of these.

Its wheelbase looks shorter than my Miata’s, but yet is 7 inches longer.

How long is that door?

Part of my dream garage is having the full collection of late 80's/early 90's random Big 3 luxury convertibles: Reatta, Chrysler TC by Maserati and the Cadillac Allante.

Its pretty long. Have you ever seen a 2nd gen Toyota Camry Solara’s door? That long.

That car has a back seat though, so at least its for a reason. This picture clears it up for me:

I used to party with some kids in HS whos dad was a dentist and bought an Allante when they were brand new. He still daily drives it.

I’m more of a fan of the final Toronado.

You sure its not just some kind of storage shelf?

One of the other volunteers at the Lane has white one. Immaculate condition.

It is just a storage shelf.

This one.

One you posted is pre-refresh, there’s another one with a larger, rounder trunk. The pre-refresh one just looks like a Grand Am with hidden headlamps.

The touch screens/dashboards in these are so hard to get parts for, my dad’s mechanic sent my dad’s Reatta from southern New Mexico to Montana...freaking Montana!...to get worked on. I would personally love to have the car after it’s done (neither of my parents need it), but when they see the repair bill, I doubt my parents will give it to me.

Not that I ever expected them to. Just wishful thinking. That 3800 is a pretty bulletproof engine...

Oh yea I like that one too. The one I posted has always looked like a rebodied Cutlass Ciera

Yea the special built nature of the car and things like that touch screen make this out to be one of those headaches you should put up with only if you have the means to do so or are a huge fan of the car.
