Easy: Tireflys. I had such high hopes for seeing these things everywhere at night turning the freeways into some sort of spectacle that looked like the Electric Daisy Carnival that roofed and then date-raped TRON light cycles.
As we've seen with colored bicycle tires, colored tires get dirty and dingy real fast and don't look good.
I was driving an ex's '91 Cavalier when a line blew from rust. It's also happened to me in: '90 Plymouth Voyager, '98 Ram, '92 Blazer, nearly happened in an '89 Tempo. The problem?

If I'm allowed to use an old Jalop article, I would recommend the 1981 Alpina C1. It had 170HP, is an E21, and can get 105.72 miles per imperial gallon. For its time, I think this is a very strong contender, especially since it still remained a gas-powered vehicle.
As lame as I think these are, when I was spending some time in Germany I remember reading that they were rated at around 85-90 MPG on the European cycle. Much Smart(er) than the gasoline models we have here, if you ask me.

1) Then I shall refine.
Actually the idea was the the QACs (Quality Assurance Centers) would sort out the issues of growing pains for the new vehicle. Which is of course the case with ALL new vehicles whenever one is introduced.
