Sport Quattro. Heavily shortened, lightened and powered up from the original Quattro model. Have driven with one long time ago.. a tasty and a mad car to drive, especially on a dirt road.

Yep, old on the outside but new on the inside is teh g00ds. But not in my current situation when i don't even have a car.. no need for one, and owning a car and to drive the kilometers i (would) need it in a year, is just way too expensive here. Ridiculously expensive really. I commute, walk, run, ride a bike and rather just dream about how it could be some day if my life was perfect and gas, insurances and other basic car maintenance costs were cheap.

Most wouldnt even know what they are looking at...and wouldnt think it would run damn near $90k for one. Fantastic car.

Dunno about sexy
Merc's from that era are some of the most indestructible things in existence, it's a pity the company changed its tack to a more 'budget' oriented segment and forgot the only reason people bought their cars was because they where superbly made.
I actually like the 80's mercs and about the only later model which I thought was much good was the SLK's, guess the beauty in mercs is that they are so well put together.

good point. I think it was Volkswagen that actually sent a team of researchers over here to just drive a bunch of cars around and basically use them like Americans do, because they literally just had a different concept of what a car does. They didn't eat in their cars, drink in their cars, take hour-long drives every day, walk from the end of a grocery store parking lot, etc.

That said, most people who spend 100k on a car already have a nice house & a big tv, and whatever else it is that makija mentioned wanting. It's not an either/or thing.

Conquest TSi, great little car, slightly on the heavy side, but easy to make fast for cheap.
