Let’s talk about four forgotten cars from the ’ 80s and ’ 90s that I want to buy!

I just put together a video about four weird, uncommon, and forgotten cars from the ’ 80s and ’ 90s that I want to buy, against my better judgement.

In this video we look at the completely unremembered Renault Fuego, the obscure Canadian market Eagle Vista, the low-volume Kia Elan roadster, and the elegant but unsuccessful Buick Reatta. Can we find any of these to purchase, or are they all lost to history? If you have a few minutes to spare, feel free to check out my vid below. :)

What are some of your favorite cars from this era? What are some of your favorite “forgotten” cars from any era? Out of these four, which would be your choice? For me it’s got to be the Elan.

Wait, that’s your channel!? I discovered it yesterday completely independently of Oppositelock! I had no idea that was you... Although your Heckblende reference made me suspect you at least read Jellopicnic ;) Heck, I was going to make a post about the Buick Reata thinking at least a few people here wouldn’t have heard of it.. . You have a fun channel!

I loved the Reatta.

I’ve seen a few Rivieras around but those Toronados seem to be even less common now. How is that thing so immaculate?

Fantastic video! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn’t even know about the Reatta before now.

My grandma drove a Reatta for a lot of years until the computer (presumably something tied to that sweet touchscreen) started randomly deciding the car had run out of gas and shut down completely . Oddly, she replaced it with a XK8 that somehow was more reliable.

Nice!!! Never really appreciated these when I was younger, but I’m digging them now. I’d go for the Toronado Troféo if I could find one!

In high school one of my buddy’s older sister drive a convertible Cutlass Supreme just like this one. Always thought it was a really good looking car and sat four idiot teenagers quite comfortably when we’d go out driving around.
