What car did I see?

PH Knowledge, Assemble!

I crossed an interesting car last night, which I can't say I've even seen before.

I have a feeling it was Japanese, but not sure.

When I first saw it, I immediately thought it looked like a cross between a Starion and a Volvo 440 (odd, I know), with a bit of Mk 1 Lotus Esprit thrown in.

Any ideas?

Can you draw us a representation in Paint?

Bear with me.

I hope this is going to be an amusing drawing as I am already chuckling to myself

Subaru XT?

[illmonkey]

I want it to be that.

No, not one of them.

It looked like a Nissan Z of some sort, but a lot more 80's - squared-off bumpers etc, and I'm sure it had pop-up lights.

Almost as vague as my GF...

her: I followed a really nice car on the way home today
me: What was it?
her: A sports car!
me: what kind?
her: It was silver
me: ah yes, the silver ones, they are really good!

[phil1979]

It was silver, as it happens.

No, not actually a Starion, just a little like it.

Rear lights were of this sort of style, but the car was more boxy, but of a similar coupe shape to the earlier Zs

Sounds like my Mrs. Goes to garage for prebooked work & receptionist asks which model?

Mrs Jim AK replies 'The grey one!!!'

Did it definitely have no front arches?


That red car is a Supra not a Starion.

It wasn't a rikshaw.

Not one of them - more boxy. The rear bumper was a solid colour coded bar across the back of the car - like it had been attached with No More Nails.
