It's much more like the Subaru Impeza turbo, the Mitsubishi Evo has a bonnet
vent rather than a bonnet scoop.

My view on you choices.

Washington - I would say that it is a Town Car.

Bravura - This is more likely an '89 to '91 GM "full sized" as it has a
good turn of speed and handles well for a sedan. The K car is more
likely the Previon which is the car you pick up for Woozie from the
airport. The Previon is slower than a slug and it handles poorly.

Perennial - I would say that this is more likely modeled after the early
Chevy II wagons.

Rancher - The Rancher is definitely a full sized K series Blazer/Jimmy,
mid to late '70's.

Sabre - While the rear end is from the Cutlass the front end looks more
like the Chevelle.

Buffalo - The Buffalo could also be a Mustang as the lines seem to have
been taken from both.

It reminds me of the Mustang or maybe even an 84 Dodge Daytona
Turbo/Chrysler Laser.

It lists the Euros as the "Front of a Nissan 350Z and back of Nissan
240SX, thanks to Alexander."

Not sure WTF that guy is smoking, it looks like a Nissan 300ZX.

Especially when the 350Z didn't come out until 10 years after the game takes
place.

There is no doubt the Euros is modeled after the 1990-96 Nissan 300ZX.
