I bet they used to complain about this in 19-dickety-9

$1350 Chevrolet asks “why not a cargo van?”. He can keep your cargo dry and locked, and doesn’t have a ridiculous step up into the cargo area like any pick up truck made in the last 15 years.

Make it about the cars. Don’t make it about the people, or fake drama, unless that’s an honest byproduct of the cars. While I adored Top Gear, the manufactured aspect of the show did occasionally get in the way. Large parts of the show are saved by the amazing chemistry the three hosts had. One of my absolute favorite…

Hi Kat, ahh the old ダッジバンI ‘ve seen this somewhere... Ah I found it.

I always think of answers to these after the fact. I was trying to think of the most iconic video game car I could, in the sense that when you think a particular game, you think a very specific car from that game. I think it would probably be the ice cream truck from the Twisted Metal games:

Exactly. How many Americans would even know what an R34 is if not for the GT series?

The R34 is a legend largely because of Gran Turismo. And my homer pick are the cars in Top Gear (SNES), my favourite game as a kid. Awesome soundtrack; the white was the best car for beginners and the powerful but thirtsy LeBaron knockoff was the best for experienced drivers.
