The Pony was the best-selling import car in Canada in history. I loved the Pony. What a great car. No computer BS, a manual choke/tranny/intake heater points igniton it was great. Even pretty quick too.

Hee, from no computer to a million! stupid ABS, dead power antenna, broken seat heater, electric fan switches, etc. My Pony didn't even have an antenna. And the Saab was 375 usd, the Pony, free. A Candian-spec mk2 Pony : Earlier Ponys from 1975 to ~1982 had slightly different front ends and rears. Pony was sold in Canada between 1984 and 1987. For 36% less green than in South Korea, by the way. <edit> Hyundai Pony's are still sold today. What we know as the Excel was actually the new Pony to everyone else, ditto the Accent. </edit> Last edited by SmaartAasSaabr; 08/29/03 07:34 PM.

I know the coupe looks like a cross between a Ferrari 456GT and a Ferrari 550/575 Maranello. But with ath SLK-style roof, I'd think it to be a fair bit costlier than the coupe, which is a little tight on headroom for me too.
