It doesn’t have to be a real production car, it can also be a concept.
For me, it has to be the 1997 Dodge Copperhead. This ugly chungus just speaks to me and I don’t know why. It is hideous, Pontiac Aztek levels of ugly, but I kinda wish Dodge actually sold it. It wasn’t going to be gutless, sharing much with the Viper, but it also wasn’t going to have the same price of the Viper (Viper at the time was ~$75k, this baby would have been ~$30k). For the price, a little ugly isn’t that big of a deal for a similar powertrain. Surely a facelift kit could help it out some.
Just thought a discussion like this could be fun. What cars are the same for you?
I like the box/toaster cars (Kia Soul, Honda Element, etc.). Vertical trunk space is underrated. What’s the point of a deep trunk when the hatch door slants so low.
I drove a Kia Soul for a number of years. I’m 6’2 and I was always impressed how comfortable I was in it. I once took three coworkers to lunch, one of whom was 6’7", and while I won’t claim everyone had room to spare, it was still a way better experience than much larger cars I’ve driven. They made fun of me for driving a hamster mobile, but it was always the first choice for lunch because I could park that thing anywhere.
I bought a 2012 Kia Soul brand new off the lot in 2012. I loved that weird little car, and 100% owned the hamster memes and LMFAO songs. Ended up selling my Soul for a minivan two years later though (lel).
Fast forward to 2022, I flew to Dallas for a business trip and was ecstatic to find out that my rental was a 2021 Kia Soul. It was a good business trip.
