ITT: CAR ZOMBIES

Cars that were in production longer than anyone expected

The Jetta MK2 was was produced from 1984 until fucking 2013

VW Santana - 1981 until 2013

...

Daewoo Nexia

Was originally a Opel Kadett E from 1984 - 1993 and then the Nexia since 1994 and still in production.

...

...

Suzuki Jimny looks exactly the same like it did in 1998 and still looks fresh. It was quite ahead of its time and looks even fresher than the successor that is about to be released soon

1993 - 2007 (2012 in Columbia)

>straight, boxy, not angry, not full of nannytronics
Are facelifted old shitbuckets from third world actually the heroes we desire?

no comment

Uno Mille
1983 - 2014

Zombie on steroids

I love them. Too bad that the build quality often is a ton better on the original ones though.

VW Kombi (T1)
1957 - 2014 non-stop (Brazil)

>1957 - 2014
whatsefuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkk

1977 - ....

HOW ABSOLUTELY CONVENIENT that there was some massive sideline rising that took place in the early 00s so that even with cosmetic updates EVERY DAMN PRE 00s CAR LOOKS AUTOMATICALLY DATED AS FUCK.

You can do whatever you want to the car but no matter what you do, if the window to body ratio isn't like it is currently, the car will look old. Interesting how just one design characteristic instantly "devaluate" a car and makes normies go for newer ones.

that maybe the reason why the Jimny still looks recent. It has the proportions of a modern hatchback now.

This is what a 2017 Daewoo Nexia looks like

...

The Volvo 240 outlasted production of the seven series which was supposed to replace it.

...

Like a normal car?

massive downgrade

I thought they stopped making this because Mexico requires side airbags now.

I love them, keep 'em coming boys

Morgan Threewheeler

1910-1952 BUT in production again since 2012 lol

Is this a car?

classified as "roadster"

Posting Brazilian or Eastern European stuff is cheating, but here's a burgerbarge.
>1992 to 2011, 1992-1997 and 1998-2011 are technically different generations, but most of the parts including nearly every body panel and piece of glass from 1992 will bolt right onto a 2010/11

>is cheating
says who

>SAME AMOUNT OF WHEELS = SAME VEHICLE

who are you quoting

Says shit like , no one's really surprised when a car is made forever in a third world without safety/emission standards.

I think this thing wins it. In Mexico we had a vehicle that was a weird amalgamation of the Panther family. It had a Grand Marquis front and rear ends, interior and suspension from the Town Car, and the engine from the Marauder attached to a collum shifter and was sold as a Ford with Ford badging.

>2017 car
>no tablet sticking out in the middle

MORE LIKE THIS
MORE LIKE THIS

If you think that's long, try the Dodge Van. 1971 to 2003.

>Front and rear of the best generation Marquis
>40/20/40 interior of a Town Car
>air ride sucks but I'll take it
>DOHC 4.6
>sold as a Ford
Holy shit why have I never heard of this before?

You can buy these brand new

>BMW V8
>4.5s to 60mph
>ok with euro emission and safety standards (I don't even know)

They were commonly used as limos, police and government cars here, old people liked them too. You could probably import one in to the US quite easily. They already meet US emissions and they're all over used dealerships here. If you do so, just make sure you know a Mexican person whom you trust to do the paperwork and transaction for you or you could end up swindled with no car.

>No Volvo 240

It outlived its replacement by one model year and almost outlived its replacement's replacement

you forgot to say

>chassis made out of wood up until recently

...

2012–present

...

Try the fucking Hindustan Ambassador, produced in large volume, from 1958 to fucking 2014

You mean it's not made out of wood anymore?

Emissions depend entirely on the engine, and Morgans had always had up to date engines in them, Ford and BMW lately.

I think Euro safety isn't a binding requirement like burger safety where you can't sell a car without twenty airbags, failing it only commands a penalty payment per vehicle, that's why Morgans and G-Classes are so fucking expensive.

...

I also occasionally see these with a V8 and a manual transmission, which I'm fairly sure you can't get on other full-size vans. Very cool.

>Mexican person
>Trust

Nvm

B13 sentra 1990 - 1994 usa/japan, 1990 - 2017 mexico

Yeah, everyone from my damn family had one each. We had around 6 of these in the family ranging from the model years 1970s to 2005. Shit was so damn reliable and I even plan to inherit my dad's one back in India and possibly import and swap an LS motor in it.

I think you can still get a V8 in a the god-awful Chevy Express also dating back to the mid '90s, but I'd rather have a Ford Transit with an economical diesel and vastly superior selection of bodystyles. There's a reason American vans are dying out and being replaced by Euro vans.

oh, as far as practicality goes, sure, but if that was my main concern I wouldn't be looking for a manual in the first place

and there ain't no such thing as a bitchen shag-carpeted tire-sprinning Ford Transit

Or is there?

>tire-sprinning Ford Transit

>those headlights
I was thinking of the newer transits (like, 2014 onward) that got marketed in the US, but fair point

1995-2010
But I still like Galaxy a lot more.

>tfw car from my town
eerie as shit feeling

this is a nice-looking car by the way

an indian driving around in a hindustan in the US or UK is just asking to be made fun of

MERCI TWINGO

>implying ameribugers know what a hindustan is
they'd just think its some old car
there are a shitton of old companies that I've never heard of

The Komby/type 2 costed about half what the nearest competitor did. It was making money, but not enough to justify a new generation, so they just kept building it.

I thought it was because Brazil is a socialist hell hole where importing costs many times more than the product itself

Citroen C15 (1984-2005).

Not as long as most of the ones posted, but still surprising.

I have yet to see an Hindustan Ambassador in the US. But the Ambassador was actually based on an old Morris platform from the 1950s.

Well that too. VW could start building the T5 transporter here to compete with the Merc Sprinter and Fiat Ducato, and call it the Kombi, would sell pretty well.

1965-today
also 4x4

We had some early 2000's Defenders in the military. I thought they must've been from the 80's because they seemed so outdated, uncomfortable and crudely built.

And it was produced at the same time as the 940 which replaced the 740

That's English build quality for you.

Suprising that a family car from a very popular manufacturer would be made for so long.

Why has no one posted this yet?
1970-2012?

>you will never have an '89 jetta gt symcro and update its face with that front
Hold me, lads.

>I came here to transport bitches

You can trust most Mexicans to not screw you, just not filthy n*rteños

Peugeot 405.
1987-1997 in France but it's still produced in Iran.

car still looks sexy as fuck

Great cars

that cope is a one off prototype, shame it never made it to production

L300. They made this pile of aids since 1986. Wanna know what year mine is? The company van I have to drive every day in city traffic? 2013! It only has 70 thousand ks on the clock! This pile of shit was the last vehicle sold in New Zealand with a 1 star safety rating, so if I get into a front on crash, I lose my legs. Not only that
>indicator stalk is so shit it turns on the high beams
>shifter is so far away you have to lean out of your seat to get first and third
>pedal box is so shit you have to dislocate your foot to lift it off the throttle to brake
>struggles to put down all of the 140hp the 2.4L pile of shit engine makes because the clutch slips even though it’s new and it just spins one of the tiny rear tires
>screams at 3500rpm to do motorway speed
>gets tossed around by wind and semi trucks
>everyone on the road hates you, in my Z I can do the speed limit and people get out of my way because ooh sports car he’s more powerful better let him past! But even if I’m hauling ass in the van cunts will overtake me in their v6 camrys and then pull in front of me going slow as because hur it’s just a slow old van dur
>if I take a corner too fast it will roll
>if I drive in the rain it will step out
>if I have a head on minor fender bender I will lose my legs
>this thin metal and glass refrigerator on wheels will be my coffin

Ask your boss for a new van, because this is a death trap.

dacia 1300 was made from 69 to '04

The 2CV was produced from 1948 to 1990.

Fiat Punto

They also sold this as the hyundai h100

>socialist hell hole
at this point people aren't even putting up a front of knowing what they're talking about anymore, they're just mindlessly regurgitating whatever the internet shoves down their throats. sad.

>I think Euro safety isn't a binding requirement like burger safety where you can't sell a car without twenty airbags, failing it only commands a penalty payment per vehicle, that's why Morgans and G-Classes are so fucking expensive.
Yeah, brands can literally go "fuck it, I'll take the 0 stars" and put it on sale anyway.

I had a 05 Mazda antenna before it and I loved it, they took that off me and gave me this as like a “right of passage” for all new tradesmen even though I’ve been a foreman for a year before being qualified so I should really have a new hiace/hilux

I’m looking forward to that day tho, when they ask which one id prefer I’m going to try my luck and say could I have a 2018 Mazda 6 with the 2.5l and a 6 speed manual ta
That would be ultimate tradesman daily driving form

Great taste anons.

>I think Euro safety isn't a binding requirement like burger safety where you can't sell a car without twenty airbags, failing it only commands a penalty payment per vehicle, that's why Morgans and G-Classes are so fucking expensive.
This. Also, exemption from most safety rules for low volume cars. That's why Caterham builds the Lotus Seven and Morgan its Plus 4 and Plus 8 to this day. As long as emissions are passed and it has the minimum amount of mandatory lights, it's all good.

I'd love me a Plus 4, they seem so fucking fun with wooden steering wheel, narrow spoke wheels, the same number of switches on the dash as I have fingers on a hand and nothing else.

pt cruiser

a concept with a missing fog light.

2007-2016.

People feel like they stopped making evos in the last decade.

do they? shit still looks fresh af

1998-2012

isn't it older?
