Retro Motor Feature – 4×4’s
The closet I’ve got to owning a movie car was driving the Jeep Cherokee XJ.
Porsche 944 (1982–1991)
Any car enthusiast worth their salt understands that Volkswagen own everything, diesel is a poisonous slime, electric cars are a gimmick and automatics were first created so Americans could eat and drive simultaneously.
Nissan 300ZX Z31 (1983-1989)
With that iconic Z style long bonnet, housing a new V6 turbo charged block, gorgeously angular lines and of course, pop up lights.

Nissan Fairlady 300ZX Z32 (1983 – 1989)

BMW is loved throughout the automotive world. However everyone, even those that don’t care about cars, know their biggest weakness: Stylistically thinking inside the box.
Car Review
Toyota MR2 (1984 – 2007)
As digital and analog worlds combined in the 80s, the technology bled into other aspects of life, including the automotive world.

Ferrari Testarossa (1984 – 1996)
In TV, music, video games, and real life, the Testarossa will always live on in the psyche of every retro head out there. With $150,00 or so, like Billy Ocean, you can get out of your dreams and get into this car.

Pontiac Fiero (1984-1988)
If the Fiero was to be a food dish for the consumers taste, the recipe would be; dramatic styling, nimble frame, and a mid-ship engine.
