Hey, now I'm reminiscing...many years ago a friend of mine had a 'Vette
diesel she used to let me drive. In turn, I had to sleep with her pretty
regularly, but that's a topic for another list.

Pretty awesome car. Also extremely low production. It was a 5 door hatch
rather than an avant, so I guess it would be a NotHotHatch.
