When Audi bought Lamborghini in 1998, it set to work correcting a couple decades worth of wrongs. The one car that combined the best of the old Lambos with a bit of solid German engineering was the Diablo VT 6.0 SE. It also happens to be one of the rarest.

When Saab bolted a turbocharger to its eccentric little 99 sedan way back in 1977, vehicles that offered practicality, safety, comfort, economy and performance all in one package were especially rare. Saab's cars had most of those qualities, but the 99 Turbo changed everything for the little company.

Are we car geeks always wrong, or do we love weird things simply because they're weird? Car lovers buy wagons over crossovers; we beg for diesels when manufacturers insist no one wants them. And we seem to be the only ones who love shooting brakes, that odd genre created for the landed gentry of England.
