Might I nominate the Nissan Cherry series. The early ones are unspeakably weird and the newer ones (80s) are so bland they make vanilla yawn.
Early Cherries.
The 86 model.

I always have like the Opel Kadett Wagons. Two doors and a roof rack.
I'm loving all of these ideas.
I may have to whittle them down to RWD and sub 2500 lbs. I want something that goes like this, but still looks like a grannymobile. The hatch just makes it 'usable'. Starlet is obvious answer, but I haven't had luck finding them up noath

Although I suppose one could take a mustang and just... drop the shell of a unibody on top of it and then slap on big turbos.

An impossibly pristine '80s hatch might get the right image, though, at least in the Southeast. May be worth considering for disguise value - a set of bumper stickers from local bands or art shows might give it a good broke college student vibe. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Chevy Citation yet. There's also the Chevette.
Is it wrong I want one of these?
Citation X11
Damn! That thing is sweet!
It's like an old celica kinda.

Saved me searching for an image; I came in here to post exactly one of those.
It was a great little car.
3 pages and no one got a mitsubishi expo LRV?
and what i'd consider the holy grail of WTF, the Nissan Stanza talltop.
I see your Stanza talltop and raise you a Fiat Multipla.
I think it sort of looks like a stretched first gen Neon with an enormous tumor.

Fairmont wagon is probably the most sensible answer. Some of the early Cherries are RWD, if you can find one.
The Expo LRV seems like a great little van actually, kind of like an early-90's Transit Connect, although I have no time around them so they may not be that great. 4G63 an easy swap into these? Was there an AWD version?

There's one abandoned just down the road from me. Pretty common still here in Korea.

That's pretty awesome. Love how boxy it looks, like a generic video game car.
Wonder how an SR20 would fit...

wiki claims it came 4wd with a 4g63 from the factory 
In reply to Taiden:
I just like the idea of a little van with enough poke to be plenty useful, like when I need to go to Denver and run the quarter for cash against mountain stooges in their Subarus and then return to Kansas and enjoy the usefulness of my little Expo LRV.
Come to think of it, most any Fiat would fit in my Pokey catagory. Sinful, but I would have a garage slap full of them.
