Sportbak – Enough Said.
Yes, folks, it’s the infamous Nissan Pulsar Sportbak. The idea here was that the car could be used three ways – as a ‘mini wagon'(shown), a hatchback using a different hatch or open air with no hatch at all and the t-tops found on most, if not all, of these cars. Yes, this one comes…

4WD, Manual Hatchback!
Though this look like a B12 Sentra “Sport Coupe” from some angles, it’s a 1988 Subie GL hatchback, which means you get 4WD as part of the mix. This would arguably be the ultimate winter beater in a snow state, but it would be a shame to encourage it to rust away. This seems to…

From Humble Roots Came Something Interesting
Is there any car more humble than a Dodge Shadow? I’m sure you can come up with one, but you get the point. Most Shadows fell into the category of “basic transportation”, but some interesting, turbocharged engines were available here, just like on all other K-car derivative.
