OK, not that I actually believe that driving your car yourself will ever be illegal, this article gave me a plot for the next great car movie:

I love Vegas, and so it hurts me to do this, but...

Awesome idea- why don't they split the mustang range. Take the AWD Fusion platform and chop it down to a "Mustang II" and make the 3.7 standard and the 2.3 Turbo optional. Then, keep the "senior Mustangs" all power with the Turbo 3.5 from the F-150 range the 5.0 and a Shelby with a twin turbo version of the Coyote. I…

I think I may have the ultimate solution- why not call it the Ecoboost SVO?

That was the cruelest April Fool's joke ever. I remember seeing that article, and running around my mddle school at the time, telling everyone to tell their families to boycott buying a new car until the AMCs hit showrooms. I think one small town in the Midwest would have been swimming in AMCs had this article been…

firstly, I'm part of the target market for these cars, and, contrary to Toyota's ads, these cars are not comfortable, well-equipped, or very sporty.

As you can probably tell by my username, I own an AMC product and am a fervent AMC promoter. I always wondered what would have happened had Iacocca wound up bailing out AMC rather than Chrysler. Would we still have AMCs today?

If they make that engine and put it in a brightly colored, two door, fastback version of the Legacy, I'll buy three.

Amazingly, the Navigator only totaled one car, a Ford Focus 5 door (cringe; it was a ZX5 :( ). I think it was more the Focus' fault, as well, as I heard that the Focus brake-checked the Navigator. But still, that behemoth totaled a car in a parking lot!

That would be a Saab 95, circa 1959. Don't know that much about them, never even seen one in person, but I fell in love with it's looks. Can't imagine that there are very many of them left in the US or, indeed, anywhere.

Totally agree, big trucks (S10s and Rangers are better) and SUVs (Trackers and Sportages get a pass) are terrible for first drivers. One of each nearly destroyed my first car, a 95 Corolla. Because of their enhanced ride height, they got into parking lot accidents at my high school often, and if they hit something…

Yep...I quite like the Kingswood. If they had brought them to the states, I'd be hitting up Craigslist right now for one. If you noticed the Pacer "Pickoupe" above, you might conclude that I gravitate towards cars with pickup beds-which I do.

Where to begin?...

It's bullheaded people like those of you who support this that get cars of a certain model reduced in numbers to the point that it's virtually nonexistent in 15 years. In twenty years, there will be someone writing a "Down On The Junkyard" article about a wood-paneled, chrome laden PT, and scores of people wearing…

I think honda's are more accessible they don't want to be seen in an illegal light. Very few 17 year olds have a McLaren to go hop into and try to replicate the game. But a 1994 Civic? Lots of kids I knew had access to those, and I live in one of the most honda-sparse parts of the country. It would sort of be asking…

I don't have any pictures, but I believe that there was also a Levi's Pacer. If I recall what I read about said Pacers correctly, they were all Hatchbacks with the X options package specified. Seems like they were only avaliable for the 1976 model year, and I would guess very, very few if any exist today.

I really like the list, but I have some suggestions for next year:

OK, so the Mustang breaks more often- it is cheaper and debatably easier to fix when it does.

That's not exactly true either- my Aunt bought a 2007 Chevy Cobalt that, aside from an automatic transmission, was just about as basic as they make cars today, and she still wishes that she could have gotten one that was even more simple. Also, if you tell young people like myself that you get more bang for your bucks…

I agree, but that won't be easy. I actually had assumed that the Regal was just another grandmamobile, because all the hype it had generated when new has sort of died down. That goes to show how sporty even the biggest car freaks of Gen Y see Buick. If they want to have street cred, that's where they need to prove…
