To be fair, that Mantis is really old, it actually got better looking as time went on. Does anyone know if they are still being produced? The latest one i could find was a 2002 model.

That Pontiac Rageous is a good looking car!!! I'm surprised i don't remember it. It is similiar to the RX-8 though, but older!! I don't see any styling cues from that car that made it to production, except maybe for the wheels, which the Sunfire had a similiar type.



It's more like they took the front end style from a Stingray.

I liked the LaCrosse from Buick, but that got canned too. Now they have that ugly crossover thing.

Dealers can't keep the Enclave in stock it's selling so well. Weird.

Marcos went bust a few years ago ('03), so that '02 was one of the last. They did fairly well in international GT2 class sportscar racing (namely British GT Championship, and to a lesser extent FIA GT and the actual LeMans 24hr). It was a beautiful car! And nice ford V8s...

They have resurected the marque in the last year. The current Marcos company produces a Mantis-resembling (in overall form: long hood into fastback) car called the Marcos TSO GT2. Small-block GM powered I do believe...
Search YouTube for "Top Gear Marcos" for the Top Gear test drive vid... should be the first vid on the search list.

I have a customer with a pair of 1960 Tatra T603s... they run a semi-overhead cam (YEAH!), air cooled V8. Parts are just plain old NOT available.
