    I like this one better.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    I love LaForzas. I tried to find a nice one once but couldn't. The interiors are incredible when in good shape, like a Maserati Quatroporte with leather Barcaloungers. They're faster than a comperably sized/vintage Land Rover with the Mustang-type 5.0L, and, like the VX, most mechanical bits are borrowed from other U.S. vehicles, making basic maintenance reasonable. Though, most examples are pretty trashed.

    They did suffer from horrible wheel trims.

    I have inspected and driven two examples. The one was great with a trashed interior, the other had some steering issue that made it difficult to assess. I should have bought the second one, because it was immaculate, but the steering issue scared me away. Another concern is you never get your investment back. LaForzas don't have good resale values.

    There is a really nice one on eBay now, with a proportional price tag. I have seen lesser examples go for $3-$5K.

    There is a LaForza down the road from me...

    ...what is it?

    Is it a restyle of something or an actual built vehicle?

    I love this one...
    Though I'd like to see more ground clearance and the winch sure sticks out
    for good angle of entry/exit.
