This car was always kind of a joke (the name was particularly awful), but it's evidently become, at least somewhat, of a "classic" car:

It was okay.

That was my first car! Bought one in 1989 after I graduated. Was a fine car. I really wanted a Nissan 240SX or a Honda Prelude but both were too much bread for this broke college grad.

Bad thing with the pop up headlights was they tended to stick up and that would drain the battery. Had that happen a couple of times. Otherwise, no issues. I think between me and my brother, we got 150k miles out of it.

Button 48. My old '89 and I were so popular they wrote an article about us in our yearly college magazine in '99.

Would either of you guys drop $15 to $18k for a lightly used one?

I’d be tempted, except I haven’t driven a 2 door since then.

I would not.
