Further down on my list, but I think I want one of these one day...

I know it isn't a Euro, but almost. I think Craig, at least, will be with me on this one. Liked them the first time I saw one, even before I knew what it was. They have that lightweight greenhouse, sort of e9ish, but without the constant impending doom of terminal rust. As added bonuses, the later cars addressed Ralph Nader's death trap concerns, and it has my favourite 4 round headlight configuration.

Cool...

The Corvair has never been on my 'have one day list' but I think its a really cool car - esp. post-swng axles!

Take Care,

It's on my someday list too. When I was a kid my best friend's mom drove us around in one.
A friend of mine had a first gen turbo he let me drive. It was a cool car, but it drove like a truck. The late ones seem much nicer.
