[Jesda]

The winner is the Dacia Sandero

[numbnuts240]

i choose the corolla. why, you ask?



i couldn't find a pic of any s12 with a fine b**** posing next to it.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Sounds like someone needs to find an S12 and a fine b**** and get to work!

Honestly, though, girls posing with 25 year old economy cars is kinda goofy. I mean, would you take pics of hot chicks with a Chevette?

[numbnuts240]

I mean, would you take pics of hot chicks with a Chevette?

no. no you wouldn't. case in point...

[MinisterofDOOM]

Wow...I guess I should have seen that one coming.

[numbnuts240]

yeah, but i bet you never saw this one coming (hell, neither did i)

[Kalypso]

for the win... s12

[breadbox]

typed s12 in photobucket, here

I don't know where you live but the S12 in any configurations is super duper rare in my area, I almost bought one a couple of years ago, place was selling it for $500 and it had the VG30 in it but it looked like it had been ridden hard and put away wet, so I got my S14 for $1300 instead. Kicking myself in the a** ever since, can't find another one for sale anywhere.

The hachi's are just as rare, but the Corolla coupes and sedans are freakin' everywhere.

Just did a search on Autotrader any distance from my zipcode and came up with 51 results search was for 83-89 200SX and 83-89 Toyota Corolla... only 6 were S12's.

it will be at the next s chassis meet!

[breadbox]

I never really see them driving but I know there are about three around if not way more hidden.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Mitsubishi called, they are wondering why you left the Starion out of this contest?

[hbpignosePA]

maybe because DSMs fail so hard?

gorgeous styling.

but id never want one

Cause their spaceship interior sucks.

My 86's interior is my favorite of any car I've owned. Simple, to the point, a dash I can actually sit something on (rather than the sloping worthless dash of my S13), nothing flashy, etc.

[Mr1der]

they're roomy as hell too.

same can be said for the S12.

sadly, we got the shaft on the good ones here though.

I'd love to have a Gazelle or an RS Turbo...

[flohtingPoint]

For what it worth I would rather have something like this than either one of those

Speaking of Mister 2's, I'm going to go look at one tomorrow. I have a blacktop 20v longblock laying around my house doing nothing that could use a job.

The s12/200SX V6 edition, which came out in 1987 model year, was the company's hurried response to Toyota's Supra.The Supra was a very successful enterprise for Toyota and was selling well, so Nissan jumped into the pool with its' transplanted V6 and captured some market share.The 200SX only lasted for 2 years in the S12 V6 format before there was the model change to the 240 SX, so only around 8,000 '87 and '88 200SXs --ever-- were made with a 6, making it a very rare car then and now. About 60% of the car's production was sold in the USA.

you're right, they are.

There's a guy just across the river from you in NJ who collects these things...He has like 4 or 5 and sells one every once in a while.

[hbpignosePA]

another month or two

[Takeiuchi]

I have a neighbor who owns a red S12. It's rather nice.

[nisstek2]

s12 gets my vote..and does anyone know where i can a set of those bada$$ wheels on that white 200sx?

Lol, tough choice.

[Ace2cool]

MIDGET! You fell for the 6 month-old poll bump!

[Dattebayo]

I dig the Starion dash, looks roomy and easily readable.

I loved my Starion's whole interior. The seats had nice bolsters. The dash wash super easy to read and looked classic 80's, very angular. The seat belts say 'turbo'!
