Delfino Feroce (sweetest 4-cylinder car on the planet), which, thanks to Project Gotham, isn't as little known as it used to be.

Sadly, I don't think it's something that's "Easily" acquirable in the states. But a very nice car none the less.

It's not easily acquirable anywhere, was the topic only supposed to be about common cars?

No, not at all. It's just too bad that it's such a rare car.
BTW nemt, sorry, I hit the edit button instead of the quote button. That's why you have the little post last editted by crap in the lower corner.
You know of any other flat-4 cars?
In case any one cares, a flat 4 engine is setup like this....
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/engine-flat.htm
Among cars that have flat fours are almost all Subarus.
Several Porches (They also have some flat-6s)
Citroen has some flat 4s
I've heard theres a VW flat 4, but I don't know alot about most VWs and can't cnfirm this.
Some Saabs.
Flat fours are not the norm, but they are far from a real rarity. Especially with all the Subies on the roads today.

That's a joke, but I think it's hilarious when you see some piece of shit car with some rims and a sticker on it, and the "performance" bolt-on tailpipe cover.

Geo storm... sorry, but its true 
also, the original Volkswagon beetle Racing edition is actually a pretty powerful car! My uncle has one in his garage, and I took it for a drive. Holy crap that thing can move!

Just kidding Yaazz, figured it'd be the best time to bring that... "great" car back up.

As a truck owner, I don't like these... they're just not too appealing to me.

I don't really care about a 4WD truck. I just want a bed to haul shit in. The lightning has that and is fairly quick too.
How's about that new Chevy pile... The "new age pinto"? I got no clue whats the name, but it's got the bubble style cab... What a piece...
you made my day banner My car is gone away for the winter (Insurance and safety reasons), and I havent seen it in months
I miss it so EDIT: theres no Storm logo on it anymore, that pic was taken the day I bought it. the wing stays until I find a factory one, and the muffler stays because it actually sounds nice (everyone, even the car enthusiasts (Read: rice haters) around my house agree)
Baner I think you mean the SRS. Fast, but incredibly gay.
Banner do you mean the Cobalt?
There's a lot of newer pocket rocket type cars these days. The SRT4, the Cobalt, and the Saturn redline. Lots of boosted choices.
most people haven't heard of my car, the mustang bullitt.. only about 5682 made, but most people just look at it like oh, another damn stang. lol
and I like the s15.. dont hear alot about them, most people have skyline's stuck up their butts

The isuzu impulse is the same car as the Geo Storm, except the Geo doesn't have the Turbo.
However, Me and my dad have aquired a junk impulse with a good motor and are swapping it out with mine (it is direct bolt on)

And Lotus suspension......
But a solid engine none the less.
lol

The S15 is a great car, sadly, it was released the same year Nissan stopped exporting the 240sx to the US.

No, It has the body style of a truck, but sits lower and has a bubble style cab. The bed looks like it's covered with a hard tunnue(sp?) cover. I'll try and get a pic of it when I get to my house.

Maybe.
On kinda of an off-topic statement, Does anyone know what that three-wheeled car that are in the Mr. Bean tv shows is?
Inifnity's G35 is pretty uncommon, which is surprising. It's looks amazing. I haven't looked at the numbers, but I'm sure it's impressive.
the g35 is the closest thing we get in NA to a skyline.
gmc cyclone... and the other thing, i dunno what its called though
but there's a blazer version and a truck version

The G35 is the same car as the new Skyline. All of Nissan's cars have stupid named before export. Sunny = Sentra, Fairlady Z = 350Z, Skyline = G35.
Many foreign cars have different names in Northam than in Asia and Europe.
No its not the exact same... the JDM skylines have much faster modles the the NA G35. And i was under the impression that a sunny was a really small car (as my friend used to own one and could pick the front end off the ground.
