speaking of the 300sl... even with the new viper discount. i think i've got yet one more reason to get something else. even if no gullwings.

that whole main grille is just a chunk of plastic stuck there. no opening at all.

I can relate. My dart's not run in over 9 years now. Blew the engine a month after i got married, then moved with a job, had a kid, moved again, had another kid, layoffs, etc. Car's still sitting in the same place on some family property. But it was my great grandparents' car and my first, so i'll hang on to it until…

Personally, I think I'd go for the 1st gen viper, but then, i'm cheap. Given around $100-$125k to work with, it may now seem hypocritical, but I'd likely either go for the GTR or an Ariel Atom v8. The GTR because, even though a bit less powerful, i can fit my kids in the back. The Ariel, because its hard to get a more…

Awesome, What school? I finished at Auburn in '05. Just a word of advice, avoid the playground industry. It sucks right now.

The goal of my post was not to piss off an enthusiast, but take a look at the car from a perspective of one that has to define the success of a product on the criteria of Purpose/Concept, Design (aesthetic), Function (human factors, engineering, etc) and Sales.

Perhaps not the "most useless", but while we're on the topic I'd like to nominate the Avalanch as the Most Dangerous Truck. Because once you've got a load big enough to require dropping that midgate, there's not much left to protect you from that load when you slam on the brakes, or worse, get in a head-on…

I have to defibrilate the squirrels that live under the hood of my Vibe from time to time, does that count?

I'll throw out my professional opinion as an Industrial Designer.

where do we submit proposals for a replacement?

a new bronco

would also like to get this in production

now if only Dodge would re-release the Classic Dart.

I wish we could get the euro models with the Diesel engines in the US, they get nearly twice the fuel economy.

One of my Uncle's engineering projects in his 35 years working for NASA.

Inventor William Thomas told KHOU that the battery inside only last about three months, but it can be re-charged with a backup cable plugged into the cigarette lighter. Although that sounds a bit weird, as most people don't change their wheels and tires every three months, so you'll basically be plugging your wheels…

It's definitely something i've thought about. Including the premise of what if John Delorean had succeeded Preston after his passing. What other market segments would they venture into and so on.

I have my doubts on this one. They've not aged nearly as nice as the RX-7, Supra, or even the 300zx. Even at the time, they seemed bloated by comparison in styling.

It's also interesting to point out. All of the cars that were produced, not just the Tin Goose, were pre-production prototypes (mules) each with slight variations, Transmission, Wheelbase, Center Light Mechanics, even where the gas cap is located (front left fender, or hiding behind a flip out rear fender vent).
