Sadly, I don't think it's something that's "Easily" acquirable in the states. But a very nice car none the less.

It's not easily acquirable anywhere, was the topic only supposed to be about common cars?

No, not at all. It's just too bad that it's such a rare car.
BTW nemt, sorry, I hit the edit button instead of the quote button. That's why you have the little post last editted by crap in the lower corner.

Among cars that have flat fours are almost all Subarus.
Several Porches (They also have some flat-6s)
Citroen has some flat 4s
I've heard theres a VW flat 4, but I don't know alot about most VWs and can't cnfirm this.
Some Saabs.
Flat fours are not the norm, but they are far from a real rarity. Especially with all the Subies on the roads today.

That's a joke, but I think it's hilarious when you see some piece of shit car with some rims and a sticker on it, and the "performance" bolt-on tailpipe cover.

also, the original Volkswagon beetle Racing edition is actually a pretty powerful car! My uncle has one in his garage, and I took it for a drive. Holy crap that thing can move!

Just kidding Yaazz, figured it'd be the best time to bring that... "great" car back up.

I don't really care about a 4WD truck. I just want a bed to haul shit in. The lightning has that and is fairly quick too.

you made my day banner My car is gone away for the winter (Insurance and safety reasons), and I havent seen it in months
I miss it so EDIT: theres no Storm logo on it anymore, that pic was taken the day I bought it. the wing stays until I find a factory one, and the muffler stays because it actually sounds nice (everyone, even the car enthusiasts (Read: rice haters) around my house agree)

The isuzu impulse is the same car as the Geo Storm, except the Geo doesn't have the Turbo.
However, Me and my dad have aquired a junk impulse with a good motor and are swapping it out with mine (it is direct bolt on)

The S15 is a great car, sadly, it was released the same year Nissan stopped exporting the 240sx to the US.

| Banner do you mean the Cobalt? |
No, It has the body style of a truck, but sits lower and has a bubble style cab. The bed looks like it's covered with a hard tunnue(sp?) cover. I'll try and get a pic of it when I get to my house.

Maybe.
On kinda of an off-topic statement, Does anyone know what that three-wheeled car that are in the Mr. Bean tv shows is?
Inifnity's G35 is pretty uncommon, which is surprising. It's looks amazing. I haven't looked at the numbers, but I'm sure it's impressive.

The G35 is the same car as the new Skyline. All of Nissan's cars have stupid named before export. Sunny = Sentra, Fairlady Z = 350Z, Skyline = G35.
Many foreign cars have different names in Northam than in Asia and Europe.
