Cars of the year, Motorweek 95

Another old motorweek to feature the 8th gen. 95 winning luxury coupe of the year as well as being the background image at the end of the video.

Was looking for the thread with all these old videos but didn't come across it so move away if you know where it is Aaron. Haha

It's shocking to recall how highly praised the Cavalier and Sunfire were when they came out.

Reminds me of how cool it would be to own that Bimmer with a 6-speed manually shifted V-12.

It wasn't the best-looking, nor the most reliable, and it wasn't even fast, but I'd still drive one:

The Windstar was pretty boring, but just imagine what could have been...

I seem to remember having a little Aerostar Hot Wheels that was cool. Maybe it was one of those that had the wheels that could jack up in the back.

My neighbor had one of those V12 Beemers. It was pretty cool IMO. I wanna get a 740 or 745 next if possible
