This existed:

Like VW’s version of a Clownshoe.

It’s like an accord aerodeck. I’m trying to place those taillights. I’m thinking a modified version of an Audi 90?

Those look like the standard Corrado lights

They are in the U.S. (as of 2007 anyway).

Some more details about the cars from May of this year.

Hmmm, don’t ever recall seeing the 80 in the US. Good eye.

I think you added an extra digit in there somewhere.

Oh, that was the seller? Oh jeez.

Th original seller/manufacturer wanted 2.2 million dollars or euros for them both.

For something this rare I think is a relatively good buy.

The good news is that this price will keep it to collectors only, and it should be well-maintained. That’s pretty okay, I guess.

It reminds me of the Lancia Y10. Which I think I’d rather have.

Or certainly a later Ypsilon.
