Mitsubishi Starion
Mitsubishi was just becoming well known in the 1980s but the cars were starting to get a lot of notoriety. The performance of the Starion was comparable to other models at the time, such as the RX-7. The twin-turbo design was reliable and affordable, and the styling of the car was popular with consumers at the time (via Classic).
The Starion was also sold as the Chrysler Conquest and the model was quite popular. The car was heavily featured in seasons one and two of Miami Vice and the car stayed in production until the 1990s. There were a few cars that came from Chrysler that were exciting, but the Starion was one of them.
