@amoore100 the only thing I see in the picture is the tiny footwell.

@tophercrowder said in Alfa could've created the compact luxury CUV segment:

@amoore100 Very Aztek-ess

it's like pt and an Aztek had a baby.

@WhoIsTheLeader the Rancho stands in a league of its own, that is unless you count the Mehari and Rodeo as its key rivals.

@RallyDarkstrike the US version is supposed to be "sexier than sexy"

I like this better to be honest....still not amazing, but I like the front end treatment more.

@amoore100 Yo dawg, I heard u like gullwings

@zipfuel

I mean they did an Astro RS back in the day 🔥 🔥 🔥
Many other 'glorious' Chevy models could be had in RS trim.

I owned one of these, a 1989, but the blue bits on that van were silver on mine. I got it from an uncle who didn't want the thing anymore, and it was kind of fun because I was present when he bought the van new from the local dealer.

It actually handled and drove quite nice for a DisAstro Van, and I ended up beating the crap out of the thing...and then the oldest son ended up with it, and he melted the engine down after driving it with a new NAPA water pump, and the stupid thing failed within days of installing it, leaking all of the coolant out, and he hadn't figured out yet that he kinda needs to keep an eye on gauges when he's driving an ancient beater.

I got it with 90K on it, and it went to the scrapyard with 150K. I probably would have just rebuilt the engine or did a 5.7 V8 swap, but because of shitty GM plastics and interior bits, this thing was hammered even after being garage-kept all of its life before I got it. I also couldn't find replacement parts that wouldn't break.

I was also motivated to get out of the thing after I saw crash test footage of a couple of different Astros...and I couldn't ever get the brakes to work worth a crap, no matter what mix of braking materials I tried.

In the end, it was a hideously-engineered van that looked really neat.
