It's only going to be in Mexico and stuff, so I am not "worried" about the image of the brand. That said, I would've liked it if it looked more like a mini-Ram..

Like what I did here.

Now playing

Ooh! I also nominate the Goodyear Inflatoplane. Another one piloted by my grandfather. I suppose it didn't fail at being inflatable but it didn't really end up fitting a specific mission task particularly well. It looks like they even planned VTOL and rocket powered versions of this because the animators of Whacky

Though it would eventually be developed into the F/A-18 Hornet and thus live on in some way, I'd say that the original YF-17 Cobra was one of the craziest failed projects from a military standpoint.

Basically a real race engine needs to be efficient under racing regulation air restriction, fuel economy for longer stints and fewer pit stops, and run flat out for 24 hours something a street engine can't do. Race engines last about 8K miles before they need a total rebuild so a street/race engine swap makes sense.

Still think Hyundai/Kia should be in there somewhere.

*Obligatory comment about how the Hellcat costs 2.5 million less and has about the same power.

Next question?

Here in South America, the only brand that remain some of the quality exhibited in other markets is Ford, mainly because of that OneFord thingy... Before that, it was not very different from the current situation of Chevrolet (look for Chevrolet Classic (Arg) or Agile), Renault (look for Clio Mio, damn it... it's
