You should definitely demand your money back immediately.

Oh, right. That's the finale of the series, where he blows his brains out.

Almost exactly what I was going to say, except that I don't think it will be a mom. It will still be Clive Owen, just older, with bratty kids and harridan wife, so he buys the Active Tourer because his wife's friend's husband bought her one.

Sadly, I've seen several - maybe a dozen? But I was living in Texas at the time, so it's understandable.

Is it any wonder that Sergio sees an opportunity for a Maserati and Alfa revival?

Nominating Acura Vigor. I would say the RL, except it's partly a victim of Acura's current morass so it's a collective fault with the brand, but Acura was hot when Vigor was introduced. It was supposed to fight the Lexus ES and, I suppose, the Mazda Millenia, but no one understood what it was (including Honda)

Not exactly, but there was a marked decrease in the amount of melamine found in baby formula and pet food.

I'm sorry, but anytime I read "F-one-eleven" I hear Sigue Sigue Sputnik. (too bad Kinja keeps barfing on the link)

F1-11? Seriously? Sigue Sigue Sputnik knew the future

I always saw an insect Transformer head when I saw the Daewoo logo.

Corvair was a huge gamble. In the late 50s, Detroit saw the writing on the wall and knew they had to do something to cater for America's new interest in small cars. Ford took the easy way out with Falcon, simply a smaller version of what they already sold. Chrysler launched Valiant with a revolutionary engine,…

And since the original intent of the Fiero was a high mileage, low cost commuter, the front suspension was from the Chevette (at least initially). Another GM parts bin misstep.

Yeah, I can see that. I seem to recall they were derived from the X body, so GM managed to salvage that debacle into something quite successful, if not notable.

Celebrity was A body, shared with 6000, Cutlass Ciera and Century. So nearly as prostituted, but no Cadillac.

GM's J body. It's far worse than the K, because Chrysler actually made variants of the K with different lengths, sheetmetal, and capabilities (G, E, Y, H, etc etc) but the J was so clearly a J, and had so little evolution for so long, it's essentially the poster child for GM's decline.

Just another definition of 'weinermobile'.

And conversely, if it bombs out, then no harm no foul, unlike investing tens of millions in an in-house production line.

Yikes.

Good lord! Do the Spark's airbags completely fill the interior upon impact, immobilizing the occupants as if they're trapped in amber?
