Peugeot 406 coupe, obviously. French engineering, Italian design and built in an Italian (Pininfarina) factory, FWD, optional diesel. It's got everything you need.

Toyota MR-2. Not the silly, underpowered child's-toy convertible, but the turbo coupe of the early 1990s:

Farewell, and thank you.......

"Good tires," Bob mused, casually lighting a cigarette. "But certainly not great tires."

Lotus Elan M100. Because it was and still is a remarkably quick thing, especially in Turbo form, fairly reliable for a british car built in a shed thanks to japanese engines, and it even looked good. And yet people still hate on it just because it is FWD, despite it being one of the best handling of its kind.

Renault Fuego.

That guy was SUCH a pussy... ;)

Two dealers for all of New England. Zero anywhere near Boston (largest city). This makes... zero sense.

You guys have it all wrong, his name is Richard Tool.

I have to strenuously agree. There is no way the Contour should be on this list of crappy cars. In it's day, it was a great car, and certainly better than any of its big 3 contemporaries and competitive with its Asian rivals.
