Feel like this was the original Nissan Altima. There were so many beat up Eclipe's running around town.

OP said modern, half the people in here listing 80's and early 90's vehicles.

35+ year old vehicles shouldn't be considered modern and are now considered classic cars.

The OT is old

I always like the early Q45s - "Q-ships" as one magazine called them.

Don't see many of the Lexus GS series ......
