          not really a rival but a lighter and very close powered car. I had one of these beaters too...

                  The early 90's Impulses were far more desireable with it's looks and performance.


                  Though I dont' think the US got those later models, only Canada. Fantastic little machines, esp. when in the sportback version (looked like a modern version of a Volvo P1800es)

                          thanks! i would put their price in close relation to a c4 corvette... later years at least.
                          early years are too far off in prices to compare but an early e30 would probably compete similarly to a 350 camaro or a 302 mustang. (personally being a domestic person i would take an e30 over nearly any 80's car though)

                              Add Maseratti bi-turbo to the list. I have a downloaded Road and Track article comparing the 325e and Maserati bi-turbo.

                                FIAT 125!!! Double lights, similar dimensions, RWD. "Slightly" cheaper though... They start to re-apear on Polish roads as collectioners' items.
