    Mitsubishi Delica D:5 minivan or a Mazda 5. It's sucks we don't get the Celica here. That minivan would sell!

    A guy near me is selling a Delica camper van with low miles and good condition for $7500. I want it so badly!

    First time I've seen one, but I looked it up and I can see the appeal!

    I don't fully understand this myself, but I always thought it would be fun to own a VW THING. They came poorly equipped, under powered, & not very safe. The 46 hp rear mounted engine with a 4-speed manual would make my Mirage feel like a speed demon!!

    I can't even imagine how many "Top 10 Ugliest Cars" lists this thing has made it on. Looks interesting none the less.

    Mine is to get another Mitsubishi Expo LRV / Eagle Summit Wagon / Plymouth Colt Vista and swap it with a 4G63 turbo.

    This is my dream car. I had a '92 in college. I need another. Mine was FWD with the 1.8 and a 5MT. Great little car. I actually considered buying a JDM RVR with the non-turbo 4G63 but I didn't. But someday I'll have another one and we'll doe the 4G63 swap.

    The Nissan Stanza Wagon was another one like those. If you just had one or two kids, they made great family vehicles. I liked the rear sliding doors on the Stanza Wagon, too.

    I like vehicles that are a bit different than the norm. Honda Element, KIA Soul, etc....

    I don't think I've seen a stanza wagon before. That's the first out of everything listed here so far. I've never seen anything like that without a b pillar other than pickups with rear suicide doors. This is where I get told about the dozens of vehicles that are like that that I forgot about!

    That Stanza looks like the perfect road trip vehicle! Im sure they were very popular with DeadHeads at Greateful Dead shows.
