The Vector in the parking lot was parked right next to one of the oddest and ahead of its time cars from the 90s, the Subaru SVX. Such a good car that most people don't even know exists.

The only one that I haven’t seen (Lamborghini, Cosmo, ‘Zed’1, Previa) or heard of (Lister, that Badass MF 5, Vector, Citroen, Spyker) was that Karlsmann King. Side note ... the Vector W8 was in my Dream Garage... but that was replaced by the Spyker years ago! Wow! Thanks for the well thought out list. It was a good one! Thanks.

[@Raven-uu7lb]

Bufori is also an obscure car manufacturer imo. Their cars inspired by 1930's classic design equipped with modern technology and luxury. It's a brand owned by Australian-Lebanese brothers Anthony, George and Gerry Khouri which later the company were registered as Bufori Motor Company Private Limited (M) which is now based on Malaysia.

Where was the Studebaker Avanti? Never mind the Studebaker Avanti, what about the Avanti Studebaker XUV? Avanti Motor Corporation's final roll of the dice was a gargantuan Extreme Utility based on Ford Excursion mechanicals with minivan style rear passenger doors and a tailgate updated from the original Studebaker Wagonaire design. A couple of prototypes were built for the show circuit, but..... Another overlooked performance utility was the SAAB 9-2X, basically a SAABaru based on the Subaru WRX with an interior by IKEA. Or the SAAB Sonett (no,that's not a misspelling) series. There were three models, the original from the late fifties, The Sonett II (including a V4 version) from the late '60s, and finally the Sonett III. These were based on the 1947 Ur-SAAB architecture including a freewheeling transmission, but with a fiberglass body.

The doors, while the best feature also make getting in and out a bit of a pain in the ass for a bigger guy. Definitely a must grab if you like the old JDM stuff.
