My personal favorite from here in Kentucky—they stopped using them in 1998, but I've seen one as recently as last year.

In Ohio, they have these for DUI offenders. I've seen them a couple times in the past 5 years—once on a minivan full of kids. When you see them, if you know what they are, it's pretty arresting.

This makes my soul smile

@kgatesman: good point

@vicariousrider: Oh, it was badge engineering, all right. Perhaps this wouldn't have happened if they had just made it the Concorde instead of that mustachioed mess. :)

@vicariousrider: I think the problem with that, though, is that the Vision was the best-looking of what were easily the three best American mid-size sedans of the 90's. It is badge engineering, but I would argue that it wasn't bad.

@BEYONTECH: Badge engineering?

@kgatesman: Sorry, that sounded bitchy. I'm locked in a room studying for my medical boards and my only interaction with the outside world is through commenting on blog posts. Still, the Cutlass supreme was firmly midsized, and Saturns were all tiny until the L-series in 2000.

@kgatesman: Dude, it's not a Saturn. It had literally absolutely nothing to do with any Saturns. It's much larger than any of the Saturns at the time. It shared a platform with the Buick Regal and Pontiac Grand Prix. There is kind of a visual similarity, though.

@JC Whitless: Lawsuit from Jezebel in 3.2.1... :p

Sterling 825, or, the Joe Lucas Edition Acura Legend.

@brachial_plexus:

Pontiac Torrent: Because GMC didn't want it. (until Pontiac was gone and the new Equinox, however pointless crossovers are, was at least competent.)

@FriendlyFloyd: I thought about that, but ironically, my mom drives a base model Charger.

@87CapriceEstate: Plymouth. Breeze. In purple. The family around the corner from us had two of them. The Voyager actually wasn't bad, and I don't think there was a difference between the Dodge and Plymouth Neons. So the Plymouth Breezes owned by my neighbors, who ironically, did not live in a trailer park, were…

@ThirdWorlder: I second that motion.

I feel even less emotion about this than I did about the demise of Plymouth—I was actually joyful to see Plymouth go, as it had turned into "Dodges for the trailer park."

@twitchykun(lvl. 75 JDM Hoon): Btw, whatever happened to that guy? Haven't seen many comments from him lately.

The following is a legal announcement from the United States Department of Transportation.
