Kizashi! I think I saw one, once. Buy one now and take it to Festival of the Unexceptional in 2036.

That looks great. My Dad had a 2.0 Sport from new before I was born (as a company car), which he liked, but it was bought back by the dealer after 12 months because of how much rust was coming through already - I'm always impressed that there's enough of one left to restore these days!
Friends of my parents brought an estate version of that one (or a large Fiat anyway) back from the States in the early 80s. After a few years on salty Danish roads the only thing holding it together was the paint.

I think mine was 5 or 6 years old when I bought it and surprisingly it was ok. Probably a bit of rose tinting going on as it did give me a few issues but I loved it
