If you haven’t already seen I am kicking around the idea of an Oppo community car (nothing serious but hey you never know!). Here are some requirements for this mythical community car. We will let the community decide.

Sorry my polls are showing up weird everyone.

Try to keep the answers as realistic as possible please. You never know maybe this crazy idea will one day happen.

DISCUSSION (47)

Dual Clutch 4x4 convertible from italy with 6 cylinders. It’ll be a nice reminder that things could always be worse. I’m not sure if this vehicle exists or not but I’m sure there is something like it deep in the bowels of the FCA back catalogue.

A French 12-cylinder, 4x4 truck with a dual-clutch in the USA

Simple, like that Mustang you have make it an Fairlane/Torino/Gran Torino Sport. It ticks all the boxes.

I voted American V8 RWD auto sedan.

If there is an oppo car at the end of the year, and it isn't an STS-v, I quit oppo.

Haha why is country in there twice? I would like the car to be French Japanese please.

People voted against wagon?

I doubt it exists but I am sure Lamborghini is close with something like the new SUV they might make

That would be crazy expensive

JR1 > Cherry_man1
05/04/2015 at 21:24

That is what I was thinking. Something exactly along those lines and universally loved

I changed it. It was supposed to be price. IDK Kinja is stupid

V12 4x4 US made Wagon with a manuel. Have fun.

Though really, it would probably be a Miata. Though for the price of a Miata you could get a V6 Mustang.

I am among those people against wagon

JR1 > Axel-Ripper

Or a V8 but it would be very rough

Can’t in good conscience vote because you forgot the single most Jalop/Oppo body style: shooting-brake (or fastback). You also forgot 5-cylinder as an engine option and “hatch-back” as a body style.

RWD, inline 5 cylinder, dual-clutch, shooting-brake from either the UK or Germany.

More realistically though:

4-cyl, automatic, FWD, wagon from Korea for <$5,000 would do as a reliable grocery getter. I won’t be flashy but it’ll save you a fortune on maintenance and gas which you can channel into your 12-cylinder manual RWD project car on weekends.

Now that’s Jalop.

I considered adding it but most 5 cylinders are out of reach to buy on a tight budget

I edited my post. Also: late 80s/early 90s Audis had 5-cyl engines, no? If you could find one of those in good shape, it could easily be in budget. Just sayin’.

Lol the body style poll. Oppo is the only group of people where the first choice after coupe would be wagon.

JR1 > NoneOfYourBiz
05/04/2015 at 21:37

Really? I guess I need to brush up on Audi knowledge

JR1 > dr861
05/04/2015 at 21:38

That is what I thought too. Such an odd little community we have

traderQAMobileTestAutomationMobileBoostOn > JR1

Majority of results say USA, 8-cylinder, RWD, Manual, Coupe, $0-$5,000

So, an SN95?

Korean 12 Cylinder Sedan 4x4 automatic. Good luck

JR1 > traderQAMobileTestAutomationMobileBoostOn
05/04/2015 at 21:40

That or like a similar vintage Camaro or Firebird would be the best bet. Maybe even a C4 Vette

JR1 > Stephen the Canuck

What kind of parallel universe do you live in?

NoneOfYourBiz > JR1
05/04/2015 at 21:42

Another thing: you forgot Sweden!

A Volvo 1800ES would be well out of budget but there are a lot of later Volvos that would be so Jalop. (brown, manual, wagon...)

Stephen the Canuck > JR1
05/04/2015 at 21:42

The best kind! I’d drive it. And it would not be brown or diesel.

JR1 > NoneOfYourBiz
05/04/2015 at 21:42

OMG I knew I would forget an important car making country. SHIT!

JR1 > Stephen the Canuck
05/04/2015 at 21:43

Yeah I don’t understand the brown diesel movement

Stephen the Canuck > JR1
05/04/2015 at 21:47

Me neither. Dark grey has always been my favourite car colour, but having had that on my last two my next vehicle will be something obnoxiously bright.

Diesel I don’t mind in and of itself, I like the 335d and a 2500HD Duramax. But for regular cars there’s not much point. A diesel car is more expensive to buy and to fuel up. Not worth it to me.

I also mostly prefer sedans over wagons and hatchbacks (except Sonic and Fiesta).

...and if this one isn’t Jalop, I don’t know what is:

Kinja'd!!!
