[MR2] What is a Tuscani 2.7??

[Ken Meyer]

Marc --

Yep, that's the one.  Should have RTFGoogle'd, of course.  Marlene did think
it was a Tiburon until Tuscani threw us off.  VERY good looking car, IMHO
endorsed by Marlene for once :-)  Seems it could use just a bit more umph
though.  Wonder if anyone breathes on these animals.

Thanks,

Ken M.

  Today, as we were leaving a teriyaki joint in Seattle, we saw a bright
yellow car that I thought initially was a version of a Celica. Short
wheelbase, hard "chine" sweeping up on the sides, etc. However, the logo on
the trunk said "Tuscani" 2.7. The circular logo patch was a big
"T" in very serifed format. Marlene even got out and did a walk-around with
no further enlightenment. Anyone know what this baby is? Would sound
Italian to within one "y". Looks very mean and "business-like".
