I own a 1993 Dodge Stealth. It's been a show car now for more than 10 years and despite showing it off among other car enthusiasts, I still get asked what it is. People vaguely remember the Mitsu 3000 GT, which the Stealth is based on, but no one remembers the Dodge version.
I don't see a whole lot of 1st generation Dodge Intrepid's/Chrysler Concorde's and Oldsmobile Intrigue's.
Possibly because allot of the people who owned those cars were unable to pay for necessary repairs to keep them on the road. Not allot of people who buy a car brand new keep it throughout its entire life. Generally speaking, where I'm from, people only keep a car until it hits 100k miles then its off to a used car lot where people who cannot afford a new car end up buying it and then when it dies they just get rid of it....

That is because the Dodge and Chryslers were POS's right off the lot and Olds didn't sell very many Intrigues.

They didn't sell very many of them......they were ugly. However, that works in your favor, different and rare cars are often the collectibles. It is definitely a different car.
Subarus. I hardly see Subarus from the 1990's. See lots of Hondas from that vintage - Civics and Accords, also Toyotas - Camrys and Corollas, but not Subarus.

I still see a lot of the Subaru GL's, Loyale's and the late 90's-2000's Legacy's around but rarely see any of the early 90's Legacy's or any other Subaru models of that era.
This is it. And the damage the environment inflicts in much of the country.
You're talking cars which are approaching 25 years old. The "classics" everyone talks about from earlier years, and which are featured at the various auctions, are survivors which have been taken care of, restored and babied.
I just took a 91 Lumina out of my fleet last summer, it just got to be too much of a money pit as well as youngest daughter losing the left fender and 1/2 the front end in an accident.
I, rather my oldest son, still has 2 95 Taurus wagons, one of which will be gone soon. With 250K on the odometer the upkeep is becoming prohibitive, as it is on the 02 Taurus with 230K I have.
