I have not. If I'm swapping a Miata, it's a V8, though.

This is a good thread

Mercedes GLK, something about that shape makes it seem cool to me.

Dodge Avenger, when it came out it looked "mean", at least when it was red...

Chrysler TC, which in turn made me like the Le Baron, a horrible car by all accounts and measures.

Impala SS, seemed cool with that big engine, menacing, etc...

Chevrolet Beretta Z26, it actually looked kinda cool...

4th generation Toyota Celica, just a cool classic Japanese design IMO, nothing flashy or fancy, but still looks good.

The Merkur XR4Ti-R-RAR or whatever it's called, yeah, but not to ashamed of that one.

I'm sure I'll think of more later...

I always thought the Lincoln LS was a classy looking whip.
Yep, proportions just seemed right on that with the slight angle in the body work from front to rear. Kind of like that celica I mentioned above.

The V6 Fiero, kind of along the same lines as the MR-2, but the MR-2 wasn't really a terrible car, it just looked crazy boxy, the Fiero, was kind of a terrible car

Honda Del Sol, kind of thought it looked cute, in a MR-2-sized-car kind of way.

Always liked this land yacht (late model Eldorado/Seville). I only recently discovered these were FWD, which puts them squarely on the embarrassing list:
Yeah, it seemed the styling finally started to go in the direction of something that would look decent with far more raked windshields and rooflines. I remember thinking how it finally looked like some kind of european sports sedan/coupe from the 80s...

Ahead of its time I guess, but when young I thought this car was out of the ordinary.
