I counter with James Bond's V8 Volante

Hard to say, Mighty Max is a pretty excellent name. I think the pre-Frontier truck was sometimes called Hardbody too, but not everywhere.

Honorable mention to the Toyota Van, Nissan Van, and Mitsubishi Van

FJ100? As in Land Cruiser?

The chyron saying "This is a serious situation" is just so perfect

I know a guy who had a Saab 99 that died whenever he turned on the high beams and wipers at the same time. Fun times.

I had this poster. I was a weird kid.

Few automakers embody the concept of disappointment more than Nissan does. With the notable exception of the GT-R, there's no real reason to buy Nissan's middling, anonymous, bloated-looking cars over their competitors.

We did, it was called the Samurai here

Thank god one of his tires wasn't 1.5 psi low

To be honest, it probably didn't really make that big a difference, but it spoke to bubble economy Japan's efforts to just overdo everything. John Davis didn't think it made much of a difference either, but I still think it's neat.

Fiat's always been good at cheap and cheerful, I'm psyched to see what appears to be successful application of the formula to the Jeep brand.
