I always did like the looks of those things. If they had been made with rwd, they would have been a great platform for an engine swap. How does it drive?

my sons ex girlfriend had one in red, was kind of cool. She had gotten hers from an older couple with ridiculously low mileage as well.

In the late 1980's the guys at the GM Proving Ground in Mesa had a few "special versions" of the Reatta, and one was a RWD turbo!

There was also a supercharged version with an engine similar to one which was used in the Park Avenue Ultra in 1991.

One "issue" with those cars was the touch screen for the climate controls that sometimes had a mind of its own?
