ITT: Cars you used to see everywhere but are almost completely gone by now

that's because literally all german cars of back when they were really good cars either got stolen or got legally exported to eastern europe.

Oh, the land of weird boxy cars I didn't know existed.

>tfw you live in a shithole and see all of those on daily basis

almost bought one recently, but my dad said the brakes on those are really bad and they lock on constantly so i bought a fiat instead

isn't that car known to be fucking bad at everything?

Pretty much desu

Haven't seen these death traps in ages.

They didn't put a frame around it but look at that grill.
Pretty unusual for a car of back then to have a grill that breaks the horizontal line of the bumper like on modern Audis

obesi se

>open street view in a random Sebian town
>look around for 30 seconds
>find this

Pretty cool that people are keeping them somewhat alive, knowing that you can get a Nissan Primera or an Audi 80 for 300 euros.

Carinas also.
I assume they've all been run into the ground by curryniggers and immigants

Ahem

basically, yes
but its a 80 bhp or so old rwd shitbox that gets 30 mpg and has a lot of charm

These fuckers

...

...

Cant remember the last time Ive seen one of these

...

Gotta head into the dark part of town to see one of these nowadays...

In my town they is only one that I see every once in a while. It's actually in fairly good condition

I saw one on Thursday. Old couple dribing it. Same colour too.

I think Omegas became an endangered species due to all of those electrical\ECU issues.

I've seen one two days ago.

Guy in my village has one in the same colour.

theyve started to pop back up in my neighborhood when gas prices collapsed.

...

Good god cavaliers are bad. They didn't even try to be GOOD shitbox.

...

...

Eastern Europe is where all the old German shitboxes come to die.

...

desu I never seen a coupe cordoba.

Last gen SX 2.0's aka Neons. When they came out every 2nd car seemed to be one, now I see maybe 2 a month. I'm guessing they were all totaled and scrapped or sent off to Africa.

Brudda!

My aunt still has one. Poor car has rough days, never changes spark-plugs, oil or anything else.

Every winter she abandons it in the garage and takes a taxi because she fears to drive it.

Interiour ruined by her stupid mutt of a dog.

Those are awfully plentiful here. Just not the hatchback version.

This and this Are the same car, people used to re-shell their rusty astra GTE into daewoos to create >pic related.

...

Thats because ricers are ruining all of them. And because they used to be a popular beginners car so a lot of them got wrecked or run into the ground.

This.

Used to be all over the place along with sunfires.

Seems Cobalts and G5's have taken their place.

Twist:

Predict the next car to leave the road en-masse.

My vote goes to 1st gen mazda 3's, either rust or teenagers will force them off the road in the next 5 years.

already rare as fuck here

Tfw the only person I knew that had one crashed it into a brick wall after saying he was going to "Tokyo drift in the snow" on Facebook.

Paraguayan here, these ain't very rare to see around here. All the Opels are Chevrolet though

Scheiss Abwrackprämie!

Thanks Merkel.

People still drive Daewoos there?

Yes
Racers, Cielos, Esperos and Nubiras are not so rare to see

is there less rust on the Daewoo?

...

I bet they're really keen on starting a new one soon.
Recently there are more and more reports of "The Germans tend to keep their car longer and longer! The average car in Germany is already 9" and if the official, state accepted, non-fake news©®™ media shits out stuff like this so often, I bet they're onto something.

Especially since now they claim "Burgers are about to stop buying our cars waaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaah"

yeah, and ban ICE by 2030.

i'll go lmao when electric becomes mandatory and MB, BMW and VAD tank because they're too dumb for electric.

> mfw the German Post has to build their own fleet of electric trucks because literally noone els will

like they all gone in like 1 year

Post will probably bend over and buy Burger made vehicles.

Or they will ask the dudes who converted the brown UPS vehicles to electric.

you think?

i thought they had prototypes and shit already built

>BMW and VAG
They already sell electric cars.
>MB
They made the before...

>German Post
They will build cars soon as well, constructed by RWTH under the brand of StreetScooter.

> slap e-motor on Golf
> charge you twice as much as for standard Golf
> range and power are laughable at best

Yeah no, they're not selling them.

Isn't that.... based on a fiat?

I want one of those for shits, wish they were sold in Canada.

They may be shit at the moment, but they will get better.
Or they will buy the Post...

Shit you reminded me of these:

Used to see em everywhere

RIP

yeah, and in the meantime everybody with an interest in electric vehicles already bought a Leaf or Prius or Tesla or Zoe.

Winterkorn is a dumb cunt.

>absolutely beautiful picture
>ruins it by smearing plate with red shit

Give us a more refined plate censor, user.

>Winterkorn is a dumb cunt.

A dumb cunt with a shitload of money, engineers and supplylines...

Not anymore, now he's just a dumb cunt with an expensive fish pond.

There's still a shitload of those and Astro's here in Canada. My neighbors Astro has over 500k km's on it with just oil changes and consumables. A lot of guys use them as work vans too which is impressive. The 4.3 tbi is mighty stronk.

+1

>The 4.3 tbi is mighty stronk.

>tfw europoor and most vans around here are compared to that tiny ass 1.9l turbo diesel inline 4 engines

I remember those. Like every brand of GM's had a version of it. They used to really be everywhere, too.

>Peugeot 205
I drive one. Still, they're rare enough these days that I wave at other owners when I see them in the wild.

>tfw north american
>can choose engine from 1.0 to 8.4L without major penalty

Feelsgoodman

Go to China and like a quarter of all traffic are these

...

>tfw south american
>pretty much no regulations, you can drive whatever you want
feels good too

I see them all the time in the Midwest. Hell, there's even one in my garage.

>south american
aren't cars over there like ten times more expensive than in north america?

at least here, you can buy a jdm import brought over from chile, for less than 4k dollars
New cars are more expensive though

First car I drove, a 2000 taurus.

Nice inside, terrible looking outside.

You South Americans also have Twingos while the north cunts don't

My mom has one

Twin Cam AE82s.

I still see cavaliers and sunfires in Quebec but I guess that people drive their car until the salt melt them and also no inspections except when you buy it and in some rare occasions.

Is Serbia the holy grail of euro shitboxes?

These used to be everywhere - had to be the most purchased company runabouts for awhile.

The last time I saw one was like nearly a year ago.

>When all their frames weren't rusted out.

I've only seen 4 of these ever. One is mine, the other 3 are from a guy I bought my louvers and shift knob from.

>tfw you were so close to become a Mitusbishi Stallion but then you became a Starion

i've seen many twingos, all with argentinian plates

Peugeot 504

It was one of the most common cars 15 years ago in Argentina.

come to Massachusetts, one on every street corner
