Apparently they moved the c pillar forward by 25cm. Can't imagine that was cheap!

Was going to say the rear windows were smaller than they should be and had it been chopped. Cool car.http://www.1000sel.com/index.php/boschert-b300

maybe the noise it makes because it sure as hell is going to be slooooow (and thirsty)
Hot engines in vans and people carriers is just daft. When I was on the GM staff car scheme I had a Zafira 2.0T. It was pretty quick without being as uncomfortable as the GSi - but after six months the computer said I had achieved... 17 MPG 
Crappy photo, but I've never seen one of these before. I know about the older Fairmonts but I didn't know they were still around in 2002. A quick google search only shows these models as available in Australia as the Falcon. Possibly the luxury version? If it is an Aus import then that's another thing I've never seen before. Especially an old beater.

Reminded me of the Simca 1501 which used to have bumper mounted spotlights and then rectangular grille lamps with a dash of Fiat and Alfa

It wasn't a Renault originally. It was an IKA Torino when introduced, and is based on an AMC Rambler that was toughened up for the Argentine market, and new front by Pininfarina. There were competition versions too; one came third (it actually completed the most laps, but picked up some penalties en route) in the 84-hour of the Nurburgring in 1969.

Luxury is a relative term.... The Fairmonts' luxuries over the Falcon extended to things like electric windows, cloth seats, maybe some sort of trip computer. The Fairmont with more stuff was the Fairmont Ghia. The Fairmont wagon is a reasonably rare car in Australia but they're an old thing nowadays and not worth much at all.Edited by fooby on Friday 16th November 17:22

Abarth Scorpione, based on the Autozam AZ-1:
Much of this thread is full of people posting well know cars with comments like "oh, I didn't know it came with that engine " or I end up wondering what rock the poster has been living under for the past 10 years to not know about the car they are posting.Then you rock up with a gem like that and the poster with the Renault Torino and my faith is restored.
Genuinely didn't know that they existed.

Only a concept, this one, but with the roof back it reminds me a little of the Isuzu Vehicross, although it's a lot smaller. I presume those two panels on the back are access to a boot.
It's the Nissan Judo:
Ridiculously over engineered and pointless, I absolutely love it and want one... It's the Nissan Judo:
BMW 767il "Goldfisch" An E32 7 Series with a 6.7 V16 motor and the rad in the boot.
Came with a 6 speed manual box as well
