The Vector in the parking lot was parked right next to one of the oddest and ahead of its time cars from the 90s, the Subaru SVX. Such a good car that most people don't even know exists.
I really loved this spyker c8 cuz it was looking good not awesome.. but I'm ur subscriber and watch ur video every day!! And I mean every day. Very good explanation of cars I really love it
Everytime I think I want an Autoziem or other Kei Car, I think of those mall crawlers driven by people that can't be bothered to pay attention. A Miata honestly feels to small and exposed, and those things are smaller. Might as well just accept my fate and get the LM002

Seen one of those Vehicrosses in Auburn Washington, looks just as cool and unique in person. Our first family minivan was a Toyota Previa! Don’t see to many of these in the PNW.
The only one that I haven’t seen (Lamborghini, Cosmo, ‘Zed’1, Previa) or heard of (Lister, that Badass MF 5, Vector, Citroen, Spyker) was that Karlsmann King. Side note ... the Vector W8 was in my Dream Garage... but that was replaced by the Spyker years ago! Wow! Thanks for the well thought out list. It was a good one! Thanks.
Also an obscure car you missed was parked next to the W8 in a parking lot show. I used to DD an SVX and got tons of looks on the streets and at shows with it
Thumbs up for this video for mentioning the awesome Isuzu Vcross !!! I am currently owning two of them. The most awesome looking thing of all time in my book !!! ❤️👍🙏
The Vector is the quintessential late 80s early 90s supercar. None of the other cars on this list even come close to this peak in automotive styling, build materials, nor rarity.
Brad, my Honda Accord just caught on fire not long ago and I’m in the market but I live in Ohio and it snows a good amount. What about a video that is cars that are fun to drive in all 4 seasons?
Hey brad i’ve been a fan for a while now and just as a tip if you do another budget luxury cars video then pls mention the Mazda rx8 sport because it’s literally perfect.
@@61Slughi Being 6' tall you aren't just limited to driving this car. There are many cars that you can't drive comfortably when you're 6' tall. I wouldn't blame the car.
Bufori is also an obscure car manufacturer imo. Their cars inspired by 1930's classic design equipped with modern technology and luxury. It's a brand owned by Australian-Lebanese brothers Anthony, George and Gerry Khouri which later the company were registered as Bufori Motor Company Private Limited (M) which is now based on Malaysia.
@@sebyfloristean9514 Yeah, sorry about that, my bad. As for why no one knows about them in us, i assume its bcs dacia does not export/sell cars to the us.
I have a '94 Sera here in the states in that awesome 90's teal color. What was once someone's daily commuter in Japan has become my weekend carshow car. It is very cool and so many folks can't believe Toyota made something that crazy back then. (It was also the first to have projector headlights). The doors, while the best feature also make getting in and out a bit of a pain in the ass for a bigger guy. Definitely a must grab if you like the old JDM stuff. Right hand drive and I have a post-it on the radio for speed because the dash is all in km, lol.
7:22 The Citroen C4 Cactus was awarded car of the year in 2015, Well in Europe. But we only see it as a forgettable car, there is nothing special about it other than it’s doors...
You should change the title to "Obscure Cars You've Never Heard Of in America" because some of these cars aren't obscure at all in other parts of the world. I mean the Citroen Cactus is a every day car in the UK (And most of Europe) and there's one parked outside my house right now
It would be a very long list to add what you missed, a few examples would be: Donkervoort D8 gto, Talbot Matra, Ginetta, Midas, Venturi, Isdera (imperator, commendatore, Spyder), or some cars tuners decided to develop like the Treser TR1, Zender fact 4….. Also from the Netherlands the DAF variomatic with the first practical CVT which could drive as fast in reverse as it could forward (you can even find clips racing them in reverse).
Where was the Studebaker Avanti? Never mind the Studebaker Avanti, what about the Avanti Studebaker XUV? Avanti Motor Corporation's final roll of the dice was a gargantuan Extreme Utility based on Ford Excursion mechanicals with minivan style rear passenger doors and a tailgate updated from the original Studebaker Wagonaire design. A couple of prototypes were built for the show circuit, but..... Another overlooked performance utility was the SAAB 9-2X, basically a SAABaru based on the Subaru WRX with an interior by IKEA. Or the SAAB Sonett (no,that's not a misspelling) series. There were three models, the original from the late fifties, The Sonett II (including a V4 version) from the late '60s, and finally the Sonett III. These were based on the 1947 Ur-SAAB architecture including a freewheeling transmission, but with a fiberglass body.
I saw a Toyota sera in northern Virginia a few years ago . I took a picture of it while I was driving, so I couldn’t read the name on the back. It took me about a week of searching the internet to figure out what it was.
