This Pontiac Trying to be a Lamborghini Aventador is the Worst Thing You'll See Today
This Pontiac Trying to be a Lamborghini Aventador is the Worst Thing You'll See Today-January 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:45

When the was launched in 2011, folks around the world had to applaud the Italian company for crafting a car that could knock out zero to 60 mph in less than three seconds. Since then, it’s been a favorite of exotic car collectors—and even, uh, some who don’t quite have the means to get the real thing.

Which is how we get of the Aventador. It’s as bad as it sounds.

Found on Craigslist for a whopping $22,500, this bad boy is... well, bad—but not in the good way. It was a good try to make something awesome out of a pretty standard car, but, man. It’s hard to turn a GTO into the far-sleeker Lambo, no matter how desperately you try. In this case, we’re talking a Lamborghini inscription under the passenger side airbag and an angled center console that kind of I guess looks sort of like something you’d find in a Lambo.

Other than that, it’s still a 2004 GTO frame/body, which is a far cry from anything you’d call exotic. It’s got all the original drivetrain and electronics, plus a fake mid-engine because the real engine is, as you would imagine, in the front. According to the owner, it “runs and drives great. All power”. I don’t know if I’m quite convinced.

But, hell, if you’re in the market for a different-looking Pontiac, then we’ve got just the thing for you.

I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t catch’s simulated driver. He threw his Porsche 918 Spyder around the corners so well, his lines so perfect, that I just could not close the gap between us. But then, it started to rain. Fat drops of it landed on my windshield as...

The most interesting car Honda currently makes isn’t the reborn , or the , and it’s definitely not one of its hybrid hatchbacks or crossovers. It’s the , a mid-engined baby roadster with a peppy engine in the middle, rear-wheel drive and a removable roof. And you can’t own one....

For $2,500, Would You Flip Over This 1970 Reliant Supervan III?
For $2,500, Would You Flip Over This 1970 Reliant Supervan III?
Three-wheelers are a thing because in some markets you only need a motorcycle license to legally drive one. Today’s Reliant is a trike, but we’ll have to see if its price gives it a license to kill. I asked you all whether yesterday’s might have “SX appeal,” implying attractiveness and...

For $7,999, Does This 1978 Datsun 200SX Have SX Appeal?
Today’s 200SX is a sort of car you really never see any more. This one might just be worth a look, that is, if you’re not blinded by the price. Hasta la vista… Bambi. While it may not be sporting to take the Terminator out hunting, the same thing couldn’t...

For $2,350, Would You Adopt This 1997 Acura SLX Brother From Another Mother?
Today’s Acura is an adopted model from a defunct (in the U.S.) brand. Seeing as it’s really an Isuzu Trooper under those stylized As, let’s see if its mixed parentage makes for a straight up deal. Mark Twain once sagely opined that “the fear of death follows from the fear...

Just Because A Dealer Says They Will Order You A Car From The Factory Doesn’t Mean They Can
Just Because A Dealer Says They Will Order You A Car From The Factory Doesn’t Mean They Can
There is something special about ordering a car from the factory just the way you want it. Many dealers will offer to order anything the customer wants that the dealership doesn’t have in stock. But some orders are easier than others, and not every dealer can get the car you...
