Yeah, maybe so.

But, but, but, you can comfortably tailgate party and sit people on the bumper. Haha

If you take the tire off, you could build a tiny house on there.

Or attach a 3rd row and call it an open air SUV

Ha. Never mind the rear end.....even with RWD, in those days, there was more space inside the car than out LOL.

Nobody?

Ok, I'll throw one out there and just a guess so ya'll don't laugh too hard.

In the late 1980's I saw what I think was a Lambo Countach that looked similar.

Have no idea if I spelled that right but that's my guess

These cars were so narrow inside that, even as a tall, young, but still-not-too-porky 18-year-old, when I stopped at the local Buick/Opel dealership to check one out, I literally could not close and lock the driver's door....it kept bouncing off of my left shoulder no matter how hard I tugged on it. Never seen anything like it since......even inside the super-tiny Lotus Elise, which, incidentally, although a little wider than the Opel GT, was far more difficult to get in and out of overall.

I was following behind one of these beauties today and totally forgot about this car because I rarely see them.

Was unable to get a good side pic so had to find one.

What am I?

I'm new car shopping and looked at the refreshed '23 Corsair. It's a nice compact CUV based on the Ford Escape. Equipped the way I'd want it, it gets close to similar size BMW's, MB's. Audi's etc.
