@vavon205: All right, guys, you may laugh, but the '92-'97 626 was actually a genuinely good car, provided it had a manual gearbox rather than a slushbox - especially the hateful and unreliable Ford CD4E attached to the four-banger. Our Mystique had one, and it tried to shake itself apart at idle when in gear.

@MifuneT: The Skylark is unforgettably hideous, as is the Achieva to a lesser degree - Flat-topped rear wheel arches? Really? - and I have mental scarring from a Grand Am with a quarter-inch of something caked into the carpets.

@Royal Flush: Saab Rainier, I suppose. It's a Trollbläzer.

@annu621: The two-door Legend was vaguely memorable, and the Lexus SC certainly so, but this? Nope, not at all.

@jaccottrell: Memorable for its incredible tendency to rust, as well as its Vo-la-RAY twin, if'n you ask me.

@spikejnz: They were all white, except when they were cranberry or light blue, and all the colours flaked off like dead skin.

@Bizzarodave: Aha, but ours were only two-doors, weren't they?

@pidgeonsplatz: I found an ES yesterday and turned around in excitement to snap a few photos. You just don't see 'em anymore. Hell, you never really did.

@Whitetrashsteve: That's a really good example. We can all remember when Corsicas were plentiful, but now they're nearly gone (at least up here in Snow Country) and they still don't catch your eye.

Seen a Dodge Dynasty lately? Neither have I. Remember when they were the aging middle-class ride of choice? Okay, even that's a bit optimistic. But the vertical rear window was only on a few cars by that time, so I suppose it's almost too memorable for this question.

@Rust-MyEnemy: I quite like the philosophy of electric for the passenger side - if my next car is indeed a 245 I intend to get one with power windows and swap a manual regulator into the driver's door only.

@Coreboy: Hence why I'm not even 20 yet, and I've always been a bicyclist - not a BMXer, a cyclist - instead. I figure this way I can get it over with and buy an old station wagon, skipping the tiny chavmobiles entirely.

@whateverist: Wait, you don't normally perform handbrake turns with a supermini? I thought the handbrake was there to make you feel better about buying a reasonably-practical FWD car?

@Cheeseslap: Precisely. He's more a fan of a good hunk o' beef. Combining that with cream, for obvious related reasons, makes him uneasy.

@pauljones: The XT is 90% awesome and 40% cheesy, which is a hundred and thirty fucking percent. If you had a steering wheel and digital dashboard like that, you'd get away with it too.

For $1,500 in nickels, I'd call Jonny a chickenfucker.

@volvoluvin: Delicious! I was hoping you'd fed it a stick. M56? I always wondered how strong those were.
