Spotting thread! Did you see any special cars on the road today?

Today I saw a Lucid in a beautiful shade of brown. Also saw a Fisker Ocean just 5 minutes later.

I was in a rented Nissan Sentra at the time. It's been a long time since I drove one of those, and I came away with a pretty good impression of the car. I think Nissan woke up and realized "Oh crap! We're Nissan! We'd better pack these cars with features if we're going to stay in business!"

One way or another, it was a pleasant small sedan packing a lot of modern technology done right. I did not like the bulky center console, but... they're popular with lots of other drivers. I really like the ultra-tiny one in our Prius c.

 

I saw a BMW i7 the other day. Good looking apart from the grille. I think BMW has partially recovered their styling groove but they're still stuck with ugly grilles.

 

I saw a Jeep XJ on the ride to the airport this morning. Couldn't say which year but it looked early, so 1984-1988ish.

That isn't terribly rare, but this one was pretty special for the details: Factory suspension height. Factory-sized wheels and tires. Body and paint in very good condition- most of these are nasty rust-pits by now. It really looked like a barn find.

I never liked them as much as the SJ series but they certainly developed a following of their own. Neat blast from the near-past anyway.
