Anyone know what real life car the DF8-90 is supposed to represent?

I could probably tell you if you had an image of it.
// Found a pic, honestly. I have no Idea, it looks vaguely like something you'd find in America.

i think it kinda looks like an eagle talon from the side with the spoiler and the black top but it has a european front end

Yeah, it has the Eagle Talon look, but the front end appears to be a Honda Civic (the newest generation)

Yeah the front also reminds me of the new camaro (The headlights)

This game needed one of these "modern retro muscle cars" in it, like the new mustang or camaro (They have the charger though!)

it's pretty fast mediocre handling though. Nice car though.

"Eagle Talon"? No. Doubt it. I own one like that, and it doesn't really resemble it. It kind of looks like an Alfa Romeo Spider, but that's just a vague speculation...
Take a look at the pictures of its back though. It has some similarities.

the DF8-90, Bobcat and Perenial are the most unique odd loking cars created by R*
they have pretty good creative minds there at R* games
To me, the df8-90 looks like the new generation of Honda civics

funny i remember reading a book on Deloreans and they had some other cars the Italian designer made and this reminded me of one of them
EDIT: well it looks ever so slightly similar

I honeslty have no idea, I thought Pontiac GTO but when I pulled the image up it looks nothing like it.
Although I did find this which I think resembles the Presidente/Presidents?
