1974 is a year that lives in infamy for a lot of models.

“You won’t believe who Jalopnik readers editors voted in as the 10 coolest celebrity car collectors!”

These lists are getting more and more buzzfeed-y.

These two always get all the stars!

“It’s not a limit, it’s a goal.”

Whoa, whoa, I’m not looking to commit homicide, bro.

The SVO Mustang’s 85 mph speedo.

I think the Toyota GT86 (and it’s sister cars) were something nobody expected. Not after Toyota dropped the kale-eating, “tree-hugging”, green, turd that was the Toyota Prius. Although - this may not count, because they teased the return of the “86” for some time before dropping this.

The ND Miata, the last car to be reviewed by Top Gear as we knew it.

Hello...BBC? Yeah about the Top Gear openings...Call Mr. Elba...like now. KTHANKZBI

Pretty sure that the exhaust gimmick was ditched sometime (95 MY?) after the first refresh

Subaru’s outsell VW’s in the US. It’s impossible to forget them here.

Did anyone say piped-in engine noises yet?

It’s very easy to forget them on my side of the pond! We used to see youths driving around noisily in WRXs and the like but they’ve just gone away. Last time I looked Subaru’s market share was something like 0.16%.

Tops and doors were dealer installed (usually aftermarket) options in the 50’s-70’s. Most jeeps were delivered and sold without them.

Where Dafuq is the 288GTO.........

The quintessentially Japanese car. Take a segment owned by another country’s product. Do it better. See, just about every segment there is.

Congrats sir for making the miata answer the question
