Now, the Cordia isn’t the sort of car that often makes even Japanese car fetishists salivate.<\/p>\n

It’s got that Renault Fuego<\/a>-ish angular period aspect: though the Cordia had hard, origami style lines where the Fuego\u00a0had voluptuous flow.<\/p>\n

It came between the Tredia and the Galant too: bang in the middle of equally unremarkable productions whose target was that mass of everyman folk who needed the reliability and affordability that this car provided.<\/p>\n

Still, between 1982 and the end of the decade it was one of those Japanese cars you might not have been able to name.<\/p>\n

The Turbo version, though, with a little bonnet bulge and suitably period stripy trim and alloys, now somehow looks as if it might be capable of a quantum of hipster steeze.<\/p>\n
