Mitsubishi Starion. Is it Jerry's?

There are several episodes where a mitsibishi starion, also called chrysler conquest is parked outside or in a lot or driving by. Has anybody noticed this? I own a car like that and I wonder if Jerry and I have the same taste in cars. I heard Jerrry owns a lot of cars.

I'm not familiar with the Seinfeld Starion.  Do you remember what scene
or what episode, or who was driving it or what color it was?  I know
Jerry likes to collect cars, but Chrysler/Mitsubishi is not his style.
He collects Porsches.

Usually it's parked in front of his apartment. I'v even seen it driving by the apartment oon the road . The time is very brief. Maybe one or two seconds of footage.Nobody was ever in it. They're just brief shots.

Everything I've ever read/heard indicates Jerry's taste in cars is more along the lines of Porsche. Not that the Starion wasn't a decent car (in it's day), but I would be very surprised if Jerry would look twice at one.

Odd that you've seen the same (fairly uncommon) car in various episodes. If it was the exact same car, I would guess it belongs to someone else who worked on the show - not the $1M+ per episode star.

Good observation though... take care,

No big deal here...a lot of stock outdoor shots, especially the ones used as bridges between scenes, got used in multiple episodes. The still shots of Jerry's apartment building changed very little throughout the run...and a lot of the full motion scene-setting shots were used on multiple episodes as well. You could be just seeing a single shooting day's worth of outdoor shots used again and again. It saves a lot of money...especially for programs like Seinfeld, where most of the action was shot in LA but some outdoor shots had to be filmed all the way across the country in NYC.
