I actually saw one of those in the parking lot of my local grocery store the other day. For a brief moment, I thought of turning to my wife and asking for one, then thought better of it.

Add turbo and...

In reply to RossD:

First place I became aware of it was on the 325ix, that's what got the gears turning when I found out the Trailblazer and kin used a similar configuration.

I got to drool on and be under a few GTRs when I was at Nissan, they do something similar too.

We're talking GM in the Malaise era, though. They were not known for any sort of deviation from what they already had.

Ford also did it in Europe, not in the US.

In the late '80's I worked with a guy that had one. It was pretty unremarkable, and in Silly Putty tan, similar to this one:

His lifted Ranger was much cooler.
Not his, but has that vibe.

From an autox acquaintance of mine, who works at a Honda dealership near Philly - Customer drove this car into the service bay:

duh, that honda's got a buick rim on it. no way that's gonna be covered by warranty.

I like the 9-7x. I know a lot of "enthusiasts" thought it was a joke, but I actually liked the way the Saab front end looked on the GMT360 body.

Bought hockey equipment. It was a good day.

Rescuers spent three hours freeing the elephant, who was unharmed, by using a bulldozer to widen the hole.
