I'm going to try to make this a thing every friday, so lets see what you guys really think of the car world.

!!! UNKNOWN HEADER TYPE (MULTI-LINE BREAK?) !!!

For me, it's the 1970 Toyota Corolla Wagon.

The looks, that roof rack, those graphics, they make the Corolla a really good lookin ride, and it's paired with great gas mileage and awesome utility.

Get me that side stripe, and I'll be happy!

I want to know what you're guilty of lusting over. Each week I'll pose a question, and I want to know your dark secrets.

Gremlin X 360

Posted yesterday.

I am strongly considering bidding on it.

Or this:

Cosworth Vega

With a V8, is the Gremlin really an econobox?

Valid point, but I'd contend that the 360 is the only non-bargain basement thing in there.

If you can defend it, I'll accept it. Can't say I've ever thought of the Gremlin V8 as an econobox, but times can change.

FAIL! No 1970's option. Turn in your Sable keys at the desk and go sit in the corner for a while.

You already listed the Toyota I would choose (Toyota is always mo' betta), but the 2nd choice would be a Honda N600.

Stock V8 was a 2-barrel 150hp 304cu. I wouldn't fight to the death about it but it's not exactly brutal from the factory.

Ford Fiesta.

My dad had one when I was a kid and I've been interested in them ever since. Dad's was German spec, he brought it with him when he permanently moved to the US, this was before the 25 year import ban. In 1988 the shifter broke off in his hand and instead of fixing it he traded it for a Corolla.

now here is the interesting thing, the Audi was the original, and VW slapped Polo badges on it 6 months after it was released.

Reminds me a lot of my dad's Omni that I learned to drive on.

The Omni is a little bigger than the Fiesta, but very similar shape. My dad's was an 89 with a 1.8L NA and 5 speed.

Fine choice, I'm diggin those stripes. It's definitely a Pinto Wagon. My dad had a white one with side stripes similar to that, with porthole window to boot!
