Not quite an A-body...

Got a new car today to replace the Civic, which I'll be putting up for sale as soon as I replace a couple parts. The specs are quite similar to an early Valiant like the one Greg linked to, but not quite. It's a rear wheel drive convertible, has a 106.3" wheelbase, and it's powered by a 2.8 liter slant six. But it's not a Mopar - it's a '97 BMW 328ic. Happened to find one in really nice shape for a 12 year old car.

Sometimes I have to wonder - if Chrysler had kept the A-bodies in production, would they have evolved into something like a competitor to the 3-series?
