Wow! The red wheels make it look like they must be now cheap enough that the kids are buying them to rice out. (Can you "rice out" an American car??)

Someone in my little city who lives along the "millionaire's row" owned one of those briefly. The styling will age well because it was a one-hit wonder, never updated!
