Cool Cars We Miss

http://editorial.autos.msn.com/artic...&topart=sports

Freelancer Evan Griffey penned a list of cool cars that are no longer in production, and what he considers the future classics.

High on his list was the Acura NSX, Buick Grand National, Dodge Omni GLH, Mazda RX-7 (FD), Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, Toyota Celica All-Trac (both generations), Toyota Supra, and Volkswagen Corrado VR6

Cool list, but there were a couple of cars he forgot, like the GMC Syclone & Typhoon, The Acura Integra Type R, and the Oldsmobile Achieva SCX (don't laugh, the W41 Quad4 engine they had back in 1991 put out an impressive naturally aspirated 190 hp---five ponies short of the turbocharged Galant VR-4)

Start poring through eBay and auto trader for your future classic. Maybe you'll get lucky and sell it for some quality coin at Barrett-Jackson 20 years from now.
