Peugeot 505 and the Sterling 825 SL
In 1987, my mum ALMOST bought a Peugeot 505. However ever since then, i’ve always had a huge soft spot for that car….because even back then, i really wanted that car. I thought it was beautiful when i was a kid. I loved the weird front lights, and the nicely proportioned design. I still think the car looks really damn good……for its age.
Oddly enough, the car she DID buy instead of the Peugeot 505 was another car that i really wanted…….*drumroll*…….a Sterling 825 SL! Remember those? yeah that’s right, an Acura Legend with a british interior, electronics, and styling…..the first car I ever crashed and the first car I ever lost control of going too fast……fun car to drive, but quite an oddball. I still remember how that car’s steering got SUPER stiff at high speeds (over 90 mph), as if its power steering had failed—-but it was actually just a performance measure. Nice interior…pretty posh for an 80s car.

Cadillac finally goes weird and interesting.
The last TRULY interesting design that Cadillac made was in the shape of those bizarre and strange early 1980s Sevilles. I know, because my father had one back in the day. PINK with dark red velvet. Oh the horrors of pure luxury….but i loved that car when i was a kid. Mainly because it had so many cool digital things on the inside.
The CTS-V is fast…blah blah blah blah…but super boring. I guess that was the point. but THIS! it actually looks interesting, and they’re calling it the CTS Coupe.
from Motor Authority:
At launch, the CTS Coupe will only be available with GM’s 3.6-liter direct injected V-6, which is good for 304 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque and an EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 27 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg in the city. A 6-speed manual transmission comes fitted as standard, while a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters for pseudo manual control is offered as an option.

Long before there was ever an Audi R8 or Audi TT, there were a series of interesting sports car concepts from Audi. One of the most memorable was this 1991 Audi Quattro Spyder Concept. I still have no idea why they didn’t make it….it looked spectacularly cool.

DTM racing from the late 80s. Fantastic.
