Yeah, the book is only remembered because GM started playing dirty trying to discredit Nader rather than letting everything blow over like it would have.

Yes! The Prowler is the domestic equivalent of Nissan’s Pike Factory cars or something, just an excuse for the company to let the designers to go a little more wild, and use the parts bin to make something fun and unserious.

I’m guessing it was some janky beater from the 70's that was one good speedbump from falling apart anyhow - my father-in-law often tells the story of the driver’s door on his dad’s truck falling off in the carwash, and having to toss it in the bed for the drive home.

Just because two-wheeled enthusiasm is adjacent to four-wheeled enthusiasm, everyone needs to try riding a motorcycle at some point.

I’m calling it now, 20 years, she’ll star in her own Neeson-esque revenge thriller, and if so, good for her.

Racing pedigree? Powered some of the fastest cars of the world in its day? Good enough for a 43 year production life? Just looks really pretty? The Jaguar XK has all of these traits, and I silently judge anyone who transplants a Chevy 350 in its place.

Another weird one, a Bon Jovi special edition Golf, in 1996! I guess with a Mark III, you’d be Living on a Prayer once you’re out of warranty, but I don’t think these were ever Wanted Dead or Alive.

I feel like no homologation special really counts, because it was done for a good reason even if the road car was a turd.

They've been doing that for years - I remember plenty of 10th anniversary Caravans and Voyagers running around my Mopar-heavy hometown (only new dealer was Chrysler, and the only reason to get a non-Chrysler van in a town like that, in most of the 90's, was to tow a boat or a pair of skidoos - sorry, sleds). Nothing…

If not worse, most inexplicable is the Chrysler 200 Carhartt - peak awful rental car and blue collar workwear have nothing in common as far as I can tell.

The simple answer is probably that it’s a fixation of my high-functioning Autism.

Jim Rockford got a new Firebird yearly, except for the last season, because James Garner didn't like the last restyle. I mean, I kind of dig them, but I'm also not going to tell the ghost of James Garner he's wrong.

I think it’s telling the Maybach 57/62 was supposedly based on the W140 rather than the W220 that had already been out for a few years.

Going with a proper (compact) performance car over a wheezing landau topped mess?

Now I need to hear an indie rock cover of Little Mouse.

The eGolf got the expanded colour selection as well - someone the next street over from me has one in Fahrenheit Orange.

It's Montreal, pretty sure someone was just trying to beat the traffic commuting out to Laval or something. 

...I actually have a soft spot for the horizontal tails, although I get the heritage reasoning to shift to vertical.

On a similar tack, I think I’m the only one, but the New Edge refresh was not a great update to the SN95 Mustang, just a bunch of circa 2000's styling cues on an extremely mid-90's design, all riding on a modestly updated 70's chassis. Although, at least the New Edge Mustangs got all the good special editions that…

The 4th gen Camaro went from shark nose to bass mouth, which is a shame, because the LS1 was a great upgrade.
