Anybody remember these?

(Hint....it was one of a set of triplets..I'll accept any one of the three answers)

Pontiac Montana
Chevy Venture
and I don't remember the third

I do remember they got replaced by the even uglier Chevy Uplander triplets/quadruplets

JDR76

Looks to me like a Mitsubishi Chariot. Did we ever get those here? There was a Hyundai version too. Hyundai Santamo.




Edit to add - I am wondering if this was related to the 1990s (1995-ish?) Eagle Summit Wagon we had here. I'm being too lazy to look it up.

mmarshall

Nope. JDR76 got it right...Mitsubishi Expo, Eagle Summit Wagon, and Plymouth Colt Vista.

mmarshall

Yes, we got all three of them in the U.S. I remember test-driving an Expo.

Another beauty from the past.
I believe it came with a 6 cylinder with a turbo as an option but don't quote me.

What am I???

Too easy. Nissan 300ZX.

Definitely available in both NA and Turbo, also in both 2-seat and 2+2 for the coupe, as well as a convertible.

Never seen this MPV before, interesting

mmarshall

The triplets (Mitsubishi Expo, Plymouth Colt Vista, and Eagle Summit Wagon) were offered here in the U.S. in the late 90s. I test drove an Expo….very useful and versatile little people-carrier, but the steering and suspension let it roll like a beach ball in corners.

Partial credit.

OK, since no one else has figured it out, I’ll spill the beans…an early 80s Mitsubishi Tredia sedan. The two door/sport coupe variant was called the Cordia.

I did not like the Tredia at all. I simply found it unpleasant to sit in and drive.

mmarshall

OK…I’ll make some of you drool. Here was a beautiful machine. I know some of you will get this one.

Jaguar XKE- Circa early/mid '60's

Margate330

I believe it has a V12 and why the hood is so long.
Is this true?

mmarshall

Yep….an XKE. It’s styling took the auto world by storm when it was first shown in 1961.

And, yes, that is one of the reasons the hood is so long. Jag did some classic V12s in those days.

It’s too bad, though, that the British auto industry, in those days, could not make a vehicle with a decent electrical system that would not short out, seals and gaskets that would actually hold fluids, or convertible tops that actually kept the rain out.

This is a very fun thread, thanks Bit!
