00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:02.490
- Sure Supercars and hyper cars are cool,

2
00:00:02.490 --> 00:00:04.200
but they're pretty much unobtainium

3
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:05.910
to people like you and me.

4
00:00:05.910 --> 00:00:07.080
That's why in this video,

5
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:09.780
we're taking a look at the unsung heroes.

6
00:00:09.780 --> 00:00:12.630
These are the mundane cars
that people like you and me

7
00:00:12.630 --> 00:00:14.220
can't help but love.

8
00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:15.510
The Honda Odyssey.

9
00:00:15.510 --> 00:00:18.150
What good things can't
be said about this car?

10
00:00:18.150 --> 00:00:19.379
It's practical.

11
00:00:19.379 --> 00:00:21.270
It's roomy.

12
00:00:21.270 --> 00:00:22.860
It's fuel efficient.

13
00:00:22.860 --> 00:00:25.216
You can take all your shit with you.

14
00:00:25.216 --> 00:00:27.122
It's got one problem with it, though.

15
00:00:27.122 --> 00:00:29.070
It's not a Chrysler product.

16
00:00:29.070 --> 00:00:30.480
Those are the best minivans,

17
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:31.939
but that's a topic for another story.

18
00:00:31.939 --> 00:00:33.722
Toyota Camry.

19
00:00:33.722 --> 00:00:36.181
It's your neighbor's favorite car.

20
00:00:36.181 --> 00:00:38.885
Ford Fusion, for when
you want an Astin Martin,

21
00:00:38.885 --> 00:00:41.760
but you can only afford a Ford Fusion.

22
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:44.310
That's still okay, it's neat looking.

23
00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:48.300
VW Golf, again, it's a fine car.

24
00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:51.060
I guess the GTI and the
Golf are kind of cool,

25
00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:52.440
but somehow Volkswagen managed

26
00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:54.030
to make them a little bit dull.

27
00:00:54.030 --> 00:00:54.930
But you know what?

28
00:00:54.930 --> 00:00:57.240
It works, and it's entry level luxury.

29
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:58.522
That's why we appreciate it.

30
00:00:58.522 --> 00:01:00.000
The Honda Fit,

31
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.442
for when you find the Civic
to be a little too gauche.

32
00:01:02.442 --> 00:01:05.310
The Honda Fit, it's
kind of the car you get

33
00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:07.398
when you realize it's
kind of all you need.

34
00:01:07.398 --> 00:01:10.770
Now we get to your first
car on the Toyota Corolla.

35
00:01:10.770 --> 00:01:13.070
Think of those fond
memories in the back seat.

36
00:01:14.070 --> 00:01:16.440
Toyota C-HR, for when
you wanted a Corolla,

37
00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:18.245
but you're actually kind of interesting.

38
00:01:18.245 --> 00:01:19.650
Dodge Spirit.

39
00:01:19.650 --> 00:01:21.300
It was the car in the
eighties that you would buy

40
00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:23.220
if you didn't wanna buy an import,

41
00:01:23.220 --> 00:01:24.725
but you wanted a car that worked.

42
00:01:24.725 --> 00:01:27.041
- [Announcer] It's the
new spirit of Dodge.

- Lee Iacocca, thank you for the K car,

46
00:01:34.864 --> 00:01:37.560
the ultimate mundane vehicle.

47
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.024
Are these vehicles flashy,
high performance, or showoffy?

48
00:01:41.024 --> 00:01:42.840
Absolutely not.

49
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:43.710
But you know what they are?

50
00:01:43.710 --> 00:01:46.710
They're cheap, they're
practical, and they're reliable.

51
00:01:46.710 --> 00:01:51.045
If you ask me, pretty good combination.

52
00:01:51.045 --> 00:01:53.253
