If You Want a Car That's Sure to Stand Out, Get One of These

1. Type X Nissan 180SX

Produced in: 1988–1998 Cost Estimate: $6,000–$25,000 (Applied) Nissan offered the 180SX as a fastback vehicle for sale from 1988 until 1998. Its S13 chassis served as its foundation, and versions were only offered in Japan. Later variants had an SR20 motor, whereas earlier models had a CA18 motor. Some models were marketed as the 200SX and 240SX outside of Japan.

However, purchasers were quick to point out to Nissan that the 180SX was essentially intact despite the addition of "Type X" to its nomenclature.

2. Baja Subaru

Produced in: 2002–2006 Cost Estimate: $6,169–$13,565 The Subaru Baja is a utility vehicle with four doors and seating for four people. It was produced between 2002 and 2006. With the load capacity of a classic pickup truck, the Baja handles like a passenger vehicle. The Legacy, which is sold as the Subaru Outback in America, served as a major inspiration for the unibody design.

The Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter (BRAT), which was marketed from 1978 to 1994, was the model that came before the Baja. Japan never saw the model's sale; it was exclusively offered abroad.
