    1993, hmm. uhh, does a Geo Prizm count? It was a collaboration with GM at least...

    There is a reason I have a BMW, there aren't really any other options...

        I'd probably go for a 1991 Pontiac Grand Prix. At least the V6 is a 4 valve/cylinder and you could waffle your face in a car crash with the steering wheel buttons.

          Never in a million years would I make that trade... but if I absolutely had to, it'd be a 1991 Ford Taurus SHO with a manual transmission

                  Jesu Christo, why!?

                  I guess I'd try one of these in place of the e21:

                  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_Charger

                  I could trade it for a Chevette. However, despite being a colossal piece of shit, those were actually RWD. (I had one briefly. Best handbrake of any car I've owned thus far. Was going to swap a 3.4l v6 into it. Quickly realized it wasn't worth the time or effort)

                  The POS e34 could be replaced by a POS Cadillac Seville. It would still have the same clapped-out vintage luxury appeal, but would suck much wang in the winter compared to the executive drift machine.

                  A bit outside the the model year range of anything I own, but when I was a youngster my mom had a black Buick Skyhawk T-Type (turbo). The previous owner had done some funny business to get more boost out of it. Ran fine when mom drove it, but every time dad would borrow it, it would rip the splines out of torque converter. Hmm...

                    I would have to get a 1995 Corrado. The reason for my pick is because I've had a soft spot for them since a friend got one back in my high school days.

                      1992 Buick park avenue. Luxurious wood grain and dinner plate wheels. I did love my 1989 Park Avenue and the 2004 Park Avenue I had. They both seemed to have passing power and the ride was amazing.

                            Oh shit. I was wondering why everyone was choosing random shit lol

                            1995 Ford Escort GT hatch. I saw one lowered once and it looked pretty good for being a Ford=P

                                  I would've picked the cyclone/typhoon if it were FWD, but maybe I wouldn't have if it were FWD....

                                    DAMNIT! Can I just remove the driveshafts?

                                    Fine, so I would pick a Dodge Stealth then. I mean, just look at the thing, it has crazy styling and also had a slew of odd advancements making it quite the contraption. BUT I must add per @Snap's rules that I would have to settle for the R/T model with only a 5spd FWD driveline and 80hp less that the TT version :(.

                                    "The first generation model incorporated many of Mitsubishi's contemporary performance-enhancing technologies, such as full-time four-wheel drive(DAMNIT), four-wheel steering, active aerodynamics featuring automatically adjusting front and rear spoilers, sport/tour exhaust modes and electronically controlled suspension (ECS).[4] These "Active Aerodynamics" were not used on the Dodge Stealth.(DAMNITAGAIN) Visually, both the GTO, 3000GT and Stealth featured pop-up headlights and noticeable "caps" on the hood to accommodate the ECS controllers at the top of the strut turrets. However the rest of factory body kit differed in styling with their respective badges. Most notable are the Dodge signature cross-hairs on the Stealth front bumper fascia, Ferrari inspired gills on the 3000GT rocker panels, Crescent shaped spoiler on the Stealth commonly referred to as the "Banana Wing" and front Active Aero air dam on 3000GT VR4 (later discontinued on newer models)."

                                      In all honesty, woudn't any DSM be considered Domestic? Were we speaking built in the United States or made by a US based company?
