I'd agree with you except I used to own one and know that isn't exactly true because the stock suspension and brakes made me want to murder. lol

Greatest car of all time? Your comparison to inspector gadget was even terrible. If anything, the s12 is the the MIghty ducks...People know about it but couldt give a sh1t either way.

An S12 + an FJ would make many people VERY happy, myself included.

FWIW I recall reading an article somewhere that said that both modes of the gadgetmobile were based on toyotas. The car being an older Celica. I forget what the van was.

I doubt that, but let's compare.

1982 Celica Liftback

1983 Nissan Gazelle Hatchback

1982 Celica Coupe

I don't see it. Everybody was looking that way at that time. The 80's were very angular.

Mitsubishi Starion for example.
