horrible junk.
My cousin had one of those Escort GTs, it was a tough little car. We did lots of off-roading and stupid stuff in it. We actually found out later on it was actually two cars welded together lol

As for Lincoln, they are way too expensive optioned up I agree. I like the Aviator but it’s just not worth the $80k it costs with options, and that’s not even loaded

Partial Credit....specifically, an early-90s Capri, which was FWD. The earlier two generations were both RWD. This version was marketed to compete with the Mazda Miata and Toyota MR2, but was ultimately not successful.

It is often easier to identify the 20th-century vehicles than the 21st. Many vehicles today, particularly smaller crossovers, are difficult to tell from one another because they look so much alike and share the same basic aero-body lines.

Saw one similar to this today, not exact but close.

This one is for our friend & OP Bitkahuna but it may be hard.

Alfa Romeo for the win!

Ya'll got it.

It was a 2018 if I remember and I couldn't believe they were asking only $20k ish with under 30k miles.

I thought these cars were super expensive.

The Giulia and its SUV cousin Stelvio are priced competitively with similar Audi, MB and BMW models.

From the grille, I'm going to clam half-credit and guess that it is a BMW, but I have no idea what model.
