1990 Isuzu Impulse

The second-gen Impulse was introduced in 1990, along with the identical (except for styling) Geo Storm. It replaced the 80s wedge Impulse as Isuzu's sporty coupe. Lotus helped out with the suspension, which of course meant plenty of badges was needed. Available was a 4WD, turbo RS, but this car just has the 1.6 DOHC. The Impulse is a pretty interesting '90s sports car, and the quad circular lights in front are certainly unique (and better looking than the Storm's pop-ups).

 

 

 

1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4

Four wheel drive. Four wheel steering. 130 MPH+ top speed. 2000 made. That's about all you need to know to see just how awesome the Galant VR-4 was. Built as a homologation special for Group A rallying, the 6th-gen-based VR-4 was imported to the U.S. in 1991 and '92 only. The four wheel steering kicked in at speeds over 30 MPH, which, given how fast it is, isn't hard to achieve. Each car had a plaque on the top of the dashboard showing what number the car was; though it was hard to see, I believe this is #1738 of 2000. This VR-4 is a little rough, but still stands out with its subtle body kit and custom rims.

 

 

1990 VW Vanagon Carat and 1986 VW AWD Transporter

Introduced as a replacement for the classic VW T2 Bus, the Transporter arrived in 1979. In the U.S., it was know as the Vanagon, and was said to combine the best of a van and a station wagon. The Transporter pickup was never officially imported to the U.S., but is a fairly popular truck to import. The Carat was a top trim level in 1990 and 91, with all options. Both Transporters shown here have custom 4 headlight grills, and the Carat stands out with its bodykit and sporty alloy rims.
