I hear ya, I love the 94 look, but it is still an overall strange body, rather strange in some ways. I had a difficult time finding some body lines when I was straightening it out (roughly 80 dings and pan dents).
I like the look of the later Miatas, but have always loved the Pontiac Solstus. I'd go for either of those but live in a snow belt and actually like fwd. I'll stick with the Capri, despite it being the most maintenance intensive car I've ever owned. I hope it gets better. It has never run as good as it does today.
Oh, and wheels - 5 spoke wheels make the 2nd most improvement in the looks department. Man most of the stock wheels look bad, especially the 91 XR2 wheels. But that's just my opinion.
