@jedchev: Very well stated.

@Straight6er: Reduced bro Edition: Compare the coolness of the original Insight with the current Insight. It's depressing.

@Isetta: Also looked cooler than Patton (barely).

@buick61: The EV1 was nothing new. There have been mass produced EVs since the turn of the twentieth century. The Insight was the first mass produced hybrid. It was the first car with an alternate drivetrain that could actually be driven like (or replace) a normal compact car. It was also quite affordable and,…

@buick61: What's Steve Martin doing in that little car?

@deftonesboy360: Good point, I have to agree. Chalk another one up in the "I always thought those were pretty decent cars; whatever happened to them?" column.

@Brian: Cogito Ergo ZOOM!: Congratulations! I'm right there with you on the west coast, though. We get left out of a lot in life.

A "Cars Ahead of Their Time" list without mention of the Saab 900 or Citroen DS? Well I never.

@mkbruin: Yep, it sure does. Don't forget that the 2009 Optima facelift you posted was penned by Peter Schreyer, the man who designed the Audi TT, New Beetle, and basically set Audi/VW's styling tone for the last decade. What goes around comes around.

@Pessimippopotamus: Dude, I came here to post the exact same pictures. Patman does have a point, though about how Hyundai/Kia got where they are today. Who cares, they look good.

@jchen1: Other than, you know, the most universally respected President of the past 150 years.

@dapper_otter: As for the airplane on a treadmill, at least Jamie made it clear throughout the entire episode that it was stupid and not even worth testing.
