Another really random car sightings pic dump. This time, it's also cars that are rare around here, and that I happen to find interesting in one way or another.
The Nissan X-Terra was never officially sold in Europe:
While the Chevrolet Trans Sport was sold new in Europe, just not in Croatia. Yep, they sold the Pontiac version badged as a Chevrolet here for some reason. This Dutch-plated one was shot in Zagreb:
While I'm not a huge fan of the 992, simply because I find it looking too fat-arsed, it's interesting that people are already buying it in Croatia. This was the first one I saw in flesh, picture taken in late December:
This generation of the Impreza WRX STI was sold new here, but in fairly low numbers. Even less of them survive today:
The Firebird was sold officially in Europe, as a Pontiac (no, they didn't rebadge it to Chevrolet
), but never in Croatia, AFAIK. This example had Croatian plates, which you can't see from this picture:
Now, about the Eclipse, I think some were sold new here in Croatia, but I can't confirm that. Either way, they are really rare, especially unmodified:
The Suzuki Samurai was sold here new, but never reached the popularity it reached in other parts of Europe, mostly because of Lada Niva, which was until some 10-15 years ago still amongst top choices for inexpensive off-roaders in these parts. This one is in my neighbourhood, and it seems to be in decent condition:
That's it for this time. I had some more pictures that turned out bad and that I couldn't fix with a bit of Photoshopping.
