Vintage Cars: oddball car, car lotus, mazdas


Question
several months ago I saw a very strange looking car on the hwy here in toronto.........it was shaped similar to a corvette or a javelin but it was neither.
I previously managed to search and find this car, because I caught a glimpse of the first 2 or 3 letters in the name.
I now can not remember this car.
The only thing I know is that it wasn't a common car (lotus, lambourghini, ferrari etc )
I had never seen the name before.
There are only a handful left apparently.
Any help?????????????
If you were to find a pile of names, I would recall it when I saw it.
Thanks
Andrew

"...Shaped similar to a Corvette or a Javelin, but it was neither..."

Could it have been an AMX?  Basically, a two-seater version of the Javelin.  Beyond that, I really need more info, but I'll take a shot at some "oddball names:"

TVR, Monteverdi, Alpine, Bricklin, Toyota GT, numerous Mazdas (Cosmos, RX4, etc...), Pantera, Lancia, Citroen...?
