Spray paint the rotors! :DDD

Yup

Put an F1 engine in the middle.

Give me a fun shaft to grab.

My 2002 Intrigue has 197,600 miles as of this afternoon and still runs like a train with just basic maintenence, gets 24mpg AND will still give that asshat in the new 3-series a run for his money at the traffic light in the morning. Other than a broken A/C vent (my fault) and a loose trim piece on the passenger side…

Well, yes of course, apples and orange.

Igor, blow the boat ashore /
Hallelujah!

If you read old car reviews, you'll see it was actually a pretty good car, because the European Mondeo it was based on was also a very good car, that was often mentioned in the same breath as the A4/ 3 Series. It just didn't feel like a Jaguar, hence the disappointing sales (in the US). Also, the contemporary A4 was…

And they're ungainly, too. I see one from time to time and always look twice to see if it's some other car that's been poorly morphed into a Benz. I can't believe these came from Mercedes. If it was a cheap Chinese copy, I'd believe it.

The Mercedes Benz C class Sportcoupe. It was the worst of the worst built of Mercedes Benz in their worst time period and to top it all off it really had no reason to exist other than to dip the company into a lower class of car. The ride is rough, the car is very hard and plasticy, certain engines are prone to trying…

6 to 7 is pushing the rate of diminishing returns.

924 paved the way for the 944, so i'll let that one slide

Obvious answers: Mustang II - Murano convertible - 924

Yea, because we really needed a 7 speed manual at all. Because 6 speeds were so broken.

At first it was my least favorite feature of the car but after 6 months driving a car with analog dials felt archaic. Why do I have to figure out my speed from a tiny needle moving though the 45 degrees which represent the speed you actually drive?

Ahh, Michael - Automatic seat belts weren't a late 70's thing - they were a late 80's/early 90's thing, And they weren't really an attempt to get people to wear belts - they were a stop-gap compromise for the regulation that all cars sold in the US by 1989 had passive restraints, and many makers found themselves for…

That's because in the US "reliable" is taken to mean "no maintenance necessary", and apart from the domestic brands, only the Japanese have quite figured out how to build cars that require close to no maintenance.

Unexpectedly fun to drive, you say?

You forgot about the NEON! you bastard. xD
