1979 BMW 635CSi

Over the summer, I took a look at an early 635CSi. Since the model didn’t come to US shores until late 1984, anything made before then will automatically be a European-specification model:

1980 BMW 635CSi

Today’s 79 is no different. This means slim bumpers, cool early-style spoilers, and a 3.5-liter M90 under the hood instead of the later 3.4-liter M30s in either B34 or B35 specifications. This one is also a really pretty color combination; Fjord over dark blue leather, and has some cool two-piece Enkei wheels to go along with it. It also won’t break the bank:

2022 Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo

If you’d had told me 20 years ago that Porsche would be building a four-door, all-wheel-drive, off-road style, fully electric wagon, I’d probably have had a hard time believing it. When they started showing up earlier this year, I still had a hard time believing it was real. Looking a bit like a photoshopped homage of the stretched 928 concepts in the 80s, the Cross Turismo is the more pedestrian version of the Sport Turismo. In total, there are now five different versions of just the Taycan wagon. Is that crazy? Yes. But even the base Taycan 4 Cross Turismo packs a potent punch; 469 horsepower is on tap and it’ll scoot to 60 in under 5 seconds. The base price is right around $100k – and if that’s not dear enough (or fast enough) for you, the Turbo S Turismo Cross Turismo will take $200k of your money to half the 60 times. Today’s car may be the base model, but it’s got some neat-looking wheels slapped on it and a striking interior color:

1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

I’d really like to shake the hand of the product planner who decided that today’s car, a 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera, needed to be offered in the shade of Amaranth Violet. Yes, this is not a paint-to-sample color, but was actually offered as an optional color for on the 1994 and 1995 model years of the 911 and 968. It’s basically as purple as purple gets and needless to say, extremely rare. Does that mean it brings an extreme premium over a less exciting shade?

1996 Volkswagen Golf Bon Jovi Edition with 10,500 Miles

The Mk.3 Volkswagen offered an amazing assortment of special models. I’ve previously covered the Golf Ryder, the Harlequin, the Trek, and the 20th Anniversary GTI. I owned a Golf K2, and there was also the Wolfsburg Edition and the Driver’s Edition GTi here, among a few others. But that was just the tip of the iceberg compared to what was offered abroad. There were nearly 30 different specials offered there, and today’s example was one that was built to celebrate the European tours of various rock band – in this case, Bon Jovi. A strange pairing? Yep. What you got was similar to the 4-cylinder US GTi: dual-chamber headlights, tinted tail lights, sport seats, and Orlando 14″ alloy wheels as well as a few neat interior trim items. That doesn’t sound too special, but today’s car also has just 10,500 miles. Wow!

1995 Volkswagen Passat GLX VR6 Variant

VW’s radical redesign on the B3 resulted in a unique, angular look at still stands apart from the crowd today. And because the internals were based on VW’s A2 chassis like the Corrado, when the 2.8 VR6 debuted in the sporty coupe for ’92 it was only a matter of time until its four-door friend got it too. That happened in ’93 with the release of the GLX VR6. Slow sales resulted in Volkswagen’s refresh of the B4 Passat into the more traditional looking B4 for 1995; which saw new BBS wheels and body styling but the same dynamic performance. Today this clean and period-correct Emerald Green Pearl Metallic ’95 also reminds us of a time when most of the top-tier sedan offerings in the US could be ordered as a five-door wagon:
