Exactly. When I made the suggestion yesterday, I specifically cited Ford's response to the problem. Valid complaint or not, they should've done a redesign immediately to avoid a PR disaster.

Ford Probe GT. Circa 1990.

And while we're at it, the Eagle Talon.

I have been driving for ~22 years. In that time I have backed into a gas pump, hit a car at low speed in stop & go traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway, been hit at low speed on the Schuylkill Expressway, been sideswiped by someone trying to turn left from a right lane, been rear ended at low speed at stopsigns…

Yeah, that's why I led with the disclaimer. Still, bad example or not, the Malibu Maxx sure did fall out of the ugly tree.

Agreed. The Protege5 looks terrific, as does it's successor the 3 Hatch (though I'm biased).

You know there's a pillar in there, right?

I rented one once. I don't know if there was something wrong with the one I had, or if they're all like that, but that car had the worst understeer of any car I've ever driven.

I'll take that dare. The 2004 Mini Cooper has as bad if not worse cup holders. Not that I'm complaining overall, we love that car.

I'd like to award a tie to Chevy and Ford for the early Vega's cylinders and the Pinto's gas tanks (specifically, Ford's decision to not redesign them immediately).

My eyes! The Goggles do nothing!

LeMons Geo Metro with a screaming motorcycle engine.

Group B returning for 2013!

Cadillac Cimarron.

But...but...GT40.

Because it has 3 pedals and a stick?

Nice QOTD idea. I like the cut of your jib.

The question isn't "can they hit 260?" The question is "does that paint job mean we finally found a GT $kaycog won't love?"

I thought the Klingons were Russians and the Romulans were the Chinese

They shut down the Latrobe PA brewery?
