Ten Hottest Cars from the 90s

Many people who are not familiar with cars won't even know that these cars are actually more than 10 years old! For their time, these cars surpass the styling criterion of their time.Today, they can be regarded as timeless classics. From a survey done by http://jalopnik.com , they have narrowed down the top ten cars of the 90s. 

Number.10: Toyota Supra

"Three words. Hollow. Carpet. Fibers. In Toyota's quest for awesomeness, they went so far as to make the hood, targa roof panel, and suspension components out of aluminum, and hollow out the fibers in the carpet. Crazy? Sure. Obsessive? Absolutely. Brilliant? Indubitably. Those whacked-out engineers ended up shaving a full 200 pounds off the car compared to the previous generation. Unfortunately, if you lived in California, New Jersey, New York or Massachusetts, you had to wait to get your hands on a Turbo model, as their tighter emissions regs wouldn't clear the car for sale" (Jalopnik, 2010).

Photoshopped Proton Vehicles

Here are some concept vehicles I've stumbled upon while browsing for a Proton Putra replacement.

Satria Neo CPS facelift

Proton Putra Neo

 (Personally, this is my favourite! only downside is the bonnet, otherwise the car is just awesome. Seems to have major Honda DC5 influence though). Kevin Lee, you have done a great job! Proton should seriously consider your work for production.

Fully Working Ferrari 312PB Model!

Made from scratch in the garage of a man who has too much time (or passion), the car is fully working; the gearbox even has reverse gear, indication signal light, and scaled down engine which makes the Ferrari engine sound as well.


How long did it take? 15 Years.  Everything is made by himself.

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX

Starting from the version 9, Subaru's new Impreza is changing from the sedan towards the hatchback format. The 2011 model is a face-lift of the hatchback format introduced from year 2008 onwards.

While in my opinion it looks much better in it's traditional sedan format, the new look may settle in and become Subaru's iconic feature after some time, as have so many initial "unconventional" introductions by other automotive companies. 

Sporting the traditional 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER^®4-cylinder engine, it pumps out 265hp+. Overlooking the horsepower, the main draw is the torque; the engine puts out 331Nm of peak torque thanks to its turbocharged 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. With this amount of torque, it claims to be able to achieve 0-100km in a mere 4.7 to 5.4 seconds.  All this power is fully synchronized with a 5-speed manual transmission featuring Incline Start Assist. The 2011 Subaru Impreza is also offered with an optional 4-speed electronic direct-control transmission. Starting at $25,495 for the Impreza WRX 4-door and 5-door model and $33,995 for the 2011 WRX STI 4-door , it cost roughly RM 80,000 to RM106,000 depending on specifications PRETAX. The pricing range is similar to that of an Proton Inspira.  However, after tax it would be too exorbitant to mention.

One major plus to the 2011 WRX is the new wide-body traditionally found on STi's.
