I see them all the time. Of course, I live in one of the communities that was chosen as some sort of pilot project for them, probably because we are the home of the factory that is making the new Outlander, among other things.

My wife and I looked at one (non-Ecoboost, sadly). It was quite nice, but also quite expensive when stacked up against the competition. Also, why is it available with heated leather rear seats if it's meant to be a family car? The middle / back seats of a family car are a bracket to bolt child seats to and be…

As for iconic "moments", I would have to say the point in the movie right after that where Doc is remote controlling the car right toward himself and Marty, and *POOF*, it disappears, leaving trails of fire under their feet.

They're supposed to be ugly. That's the point. Ugly and quirky like an english bulldog or boston terrier. So ugly they're cute and endearing.

You win. That's awesome. The lady's voice is boring, but some of the stuff she's saying is amazing. You can use the slide-outs in the water. Mind=blown.

Didn't they do that ad with the '87 Buick Regal GNX first? Can't find it on Google Images, so maybe not...

How about the Ford GT90?

Fantastic. New challenge - make it blow soap bubbles!

Came here to read this, and the webserver told me "Error: 503: No healthy backends." I think it was talking about MySQL, but that made this article even more funny.

There's a guy that drives around my town in a truck with 2 pistons hanging by their connecting rods from the back of his truck instead of nutz. I'm OK with that.

I, for one, would pay to watch that.

There's a red one that cruises back and forth between Peoria and Normal, IL. The guy drives it the speed limit. The one time I went to pass him, I tried to yell out the window at him and thank him for being awesome. I don't think it came out like I meant it to :)

I may be biased here, but more times than not, when I see one of the new turbo Hyundai Sonatas on the road, it's usually cutting me off, being driven by some asshat on his phone yelling at his wife and generally just being the "most important person in the world".

+1 here. I have a wife, 2 kids, and an 85 pound dog, commute 40 minutes to work every day in a region that it snows in the winter, and enjoy somewhat spirited driving. Forester XT was on my short list, and I drive a 2005 now.

Seat? That's easy. 'Seet'. My car has 2 in front and 2 in back. It what you put your butt in. ;)

I re-read, and now see we are talking Gross Weight. I give you my wife's car - the SE 4dr 4x4. Gross Vehicle Weight = 5,049 lbs (according to http://autos.aol.com/cars-Mitsubish…). 166 HP (at the crank, not the wheels). Again, this is a "7 passenger" vehicle.

Base-model Mitsubishi Outlander. The standard motor is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that pairs with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and produces 166 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. 3,500–3,800 lb.

COME AT ME, BRO!!!!

Mitsubishi i-MiEV. Electric, so gas prices aren't an issue, and they won't be able to get too far in it. Great for around town. Unsexy and slow and all that. They're about 10 grand new, and you'll get a tax break on top of it if you put it in your name and make your kid a secondary driver (which you'll do with any…

I see T-tops!! Awesome!
