You mean an S-10 with plastic and a weird rear door?

Smaart Aas Saabr · 02-22-2008, 06:54 PM

Anyone remember the circa - 1994 Pontiac Sunfire concept?

wicked... but we really got:

Here's looking at you kid

Wow, nice paint job

But the rear door is pretty cool.

Toyota is just soo un-original.. this is where they stole the name

I loved that highlander concept when it came out. I wanted it so bad!! I think that was the beginning of the ZR-2, right?

MCGARRETT · 02-23-2008, 02:02 AM

Actually the Sunfire was not that far off, by much....

1989 Pontiac Stinger

1987-88 Chevrolet Blazer XT

I'm surprised at how much like the production version these two look. The sunfire, less so than the S-10. I don't know if that Sunfire concept is necessarily better looking.

STINGER

hehe. I made a model of the banshee but ruined the finish which was candy apple red. Looking back it was about as practical as ice skates in the desert.

MCGARRETT · 02-23-2008, 10:23 AM

Awsome!

The Blazer XT-1! I forgot the one. It looked like part minivan, part SUV, with a Knight Rider style dash! Whats not to love.

What movie was the Xt-1 in?

And the Stinger video!

WOW, I have neve seen that before! Did I have the Talking Heads music orginally or did someone re-dub a GM promo film!

The Stinger was another one of those cars I though I would have in my driveway when I was older, and what did we get? The Aztek. Sometime I can understand how people can become cynical....

I loved the Stinger, I think that they could build it today and it would still be contemporary.

Here's another one, the 100mpg GM Ultralite.

oh, and of course , the 200mpg GM Lean Machine!

I remember seeing the Lean Machine at EPCOT in 1982 and I sooo wished the GM would produce it, there was a video of the thing driving around, it looked like such a blast to drive.

They have a picture of it in the Engineering Tecnology office at Wayne State University. They also have some sort of Eldorodo concept, it looks like, a Buick from the late 80's/early 90's that looks like the Skylark, A ford Probe concept, a Mercury Couger concept, I think. And a few others that I can't remember.
