What new car from 1990 would you run as a DD?
Discussion
I often wonder if someone somewhere has preserved a brand new, undriven, showroom condition Regular Joe car from 20/30 years ago?
I'd like to say I'd go for a Lexus LS400 (I remember wanting the one they restored on Wheeler Dealers... lol) but not sure about the costs? If we're being realistic... probably an Accord? I dunno, just guessing it would be a lot cheaper to look after these days if I'm honest.

If we're talking normal cars (like an Accord), then I would probably go for a Cavalier GSi2000 or a Sierra XR4x4. The lure of a Cosworth is strong though!

Mg maestro turbo.
No other reason than I once went in a 2.0i and it was so over powered for such awful chassis, brakes and suspension
It was quite hilarious. I imagine the turbo to be downright lethal!?
And a Sierra Sapphire Cosworth for when it inevitably falls apart/ blows up/ rots away!

Yes. A Ford Cortina GL (fair warning, it's the Daily Mail). There are also abandoned cars with delivery mileage in a disputed area belonging to either Cyprus or Turkey.Just like a couple of the other responses, I'd probably go for a Sierra though I'm not sure which trim level. I'd probably aim for a GLX, GLS or Ghia. Might as well get the best 1990 had to offer.
