A car I owned in the 90’s and know it would have been popular with hot hatch enthusiasts was the Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI. It also came with a 1.6 engine, but the 1.9 was the one to have. A truly beautiful car with great performance and handling and a lovely looking interior with the half leather seats.

The Lancia didn't have 500 examples for homologation. They had some 200+. When the sanctioning inspector arrived, they delayed meeting with him for a bit, then looked over the cars at the factory, by then, it was well past lunch, so Lancia took him to eat while employees moved those cars to another lot that the inspector was then taken to after lunch to "see the rest of the cars."

I always thought we were hugely missing out by Ford not releasing the Falcon-platform (both the cars and the UTE's) vehicles outside of Australia. The Falcon XR6 and XR8 are amazing 4-door beasts, and the FPV F6 (a.k.a the Typhoon) is another notch up the awesome scale. Frankly I think they could have done really well, especially for those guys who really wanted a Mustang but instead had to get a "family car" out of necessity. A badass turbocharged 4-door is still a "family car" but will also scratch that itch when you mash the gas to the floor.

Dude, the M5 E61 had a seven-speed automated gearbox. BMW sold it in Europe only with that automated transmission while the U.S. customers had an option for a six-speed manual. The seven-speed automated was a seven-speed mechanical gearbox with a clutch operated by an electrohydraulic system.

[@damilolaakanni]

AKA SMG transmission. As we've seen with E46 videos, one can swap it for a true six speed manual transmission. It's relatively easy for a transmission swap. Probably not cheap though.

[@sirleeofroy4732]

@@damilolaakanni Theres a difference though, the E46 is an "automated manual" so actually uses the same gearbox as the manual but with actuators. Converting it to a proper manual is a case of removing the auto stuff but the box remains. The E60 M5 is a full on SMG so to convert to a manual requires the 6 speed transmission swap. Why the U.S got the manual when all they drive are autos yet Europe, who predominantly drive manuals never got the manual is beyond my comprehension.

Thanks for the heads up on the R33. When I was stationed in Japan myself and a friend of mine co owned one. Co ownership wasn't about price but I wasn't allowed to own a car in Japan yet. At the time if you were ships company you didn't get to live off the ship or have a car. My friend was in one of the squadrons and they all had cars. Our black 1998 GTR completely turned my perception of Japanese cars on its head. The car was a steal only 5k US in the year 2000. Already modded to 500 horsepower on the dyno. Turns out the owners wife was chair- er I mean airforce and he did something stupid so she divorced him and Japan said pack your bags dude. Many fond memories of that car and actually getting to drive at many of the places in the first Gran Turismo.

[@djanddk5596]

In Denmark we have a tax of 25% on cars, and then an added duty of 85% for the first 28.000$ every single penny above 28.000$ has a duty of 150%. So a car that costs 30.000$ would cost: 30.000 * 1,25 = 37.500$ 28.000 * 1,85 = 51.800$ 51.800 + ((37.500-28.000) * 2,5) = 75550$

Lotus Carlton, Sierra Cosworth and TVR’s never went stateside.

[@AnthroGearhead]

They would literally destroy GM,Dodge and Ford company in terms of sales figures lol

[@samueljones3668]

@@AnthroGearhead you were serious ? Dude TVR sucked back in its home the UK cool cars but hardly sold and that was its demise, not to mention it failed countless regulations and couldn't be sold in the US because of it. The Ford Sierra was sold in the US under the Mekur name and was a commercial flop so I don't think selling the Cosworth model would have made any difference if the base car wasn't selling at all. The Carlton was under Opel and Vauxhall which are both owned by ? You guessed it GM, and I think they didn't want it to over shadow the Corvette since it was as equally fast and cheaper comparatively. So two of the 3 cars he mention were owned by Ford and GM respectively so how would they have killed anyones sales figures when they were owned by them ?

[@AnthroGearhead]

@@samueljones3668 exclude the TVR then since they cant get things right Ford on the other hand, if the Sierra Turbos and the RS200 were made into production car in US, they would instantly destroy the Foxbody Mustangs in terms of performance and price range,heck even the Cortina and wreck those damn Pintos and Mustang 2 easily , the Lotus Carlton would sold better than the Corvettes in the same way but with practicality

[@nickadam2964]

The Sierra was sold in the U.S as a merkur XR4Ti. I told think they were high performance or anything but if you ever wanted to like maybe build one or something I’m sure it’s possible with one of those
