66 dodge charger electroluminescent gauges. They used an inverter that pumps 250v alternating current to backlight these gauges. Cool tech for the 60s, and looks really good IMO.

You already posted it. The IS300/Altezza cluster resembling a watch is one of my favourite all time clusters. Partly why I love the Koenigsegg CC850's "chrono-cluster"

Delta Integrale? One of my all time favorite cars. After Harry Metcalfe described the GRY as a modern take on the Integrale I knew I had to get a GRC.

Right on!!! Woot woot!

Still looking for one here in Canada. The green one for sale is not what I want. I like to get the Evo 2

Owning one would be a dream. Those flare arches. Right up there with the original Sport Quattro and E30 M3 in terms of appeal, but pushed over the edge by being Italian. Probably not the easiest ownership proposition but a head turner for sure. Maybe one of those 037 Stradales as an alternative?

My uncle used to own a pre-facelift grey RSX (can't remember if it was a regular one or Type S) around 2007 until he crashed it a year or two later. He only broke his knee but the car itself was badly hit in the front. I still miss that thing

There's someone in my building who has one and based on how often I see the space is empty, they drive it quite a bit.

I also sometimes see a Giulia Quadrifoglio parked in the same spot so whoever it is likes their cars.

While certain gauge clusters will always look better than others, a central tach will always impress me no matter what.

Biggest pet peeve of mine with the gen 1 IS300's vs the Altezzas. The Altezzas have center tach, left speedo but are of course KPH while the IS300's have the tach on the left and center speedo.

Toyota marketed as a luxury Lexus here in the US. In Japan, it was a lighter weight RWD sport sedan. Their top spec RS200 got the awesome BEAMS 3S-GE motor while we got the lazier N/A 2JZ. Both make the same power, but I'd rather have the BEAMS motor for the lighter weight and that screaming top end. I wish we got that version of the Altezza here in the US.
