The same as it always has been in my 35 years of buying cars.....a manual transmission

Yup!! I bought this book as a kid through them as well!

Clearly the only answer is the 1978 1/2 Fiat SuperBrava. Why?

And the answer is....neither, get a flat top instead. My gas grill died at the end of last year so I ended up buying a new Weber which has a flat top attachment where it converts 2/3 of the grilling area into a flat top just like your favorite greasy spoon. Now I have been intrigued by the flat top only machines but

As a kid in the 70's, I was a HUGE Elton John fan and at the time seeing your favorite artist perform either meant going to a concert or hope that they would show up on the limited talk show circuit or appear on American Bandstand. So when Tommy came out in 1975 with Elton playing the Pinball Wizard, I BEGGED my

I was floored at the time of this commercial as I was a HUGE Speed Racer fan as a little kid in the late 60's and had a red 95 GTI VR6.  VW ads in the 90's and early aughts were amazing

A lot of these entries have really cool cars so either I am or the posters are missing the point for ‘worst cars’. If product placement was considered to be the worst as some of the posters have submitted, none are more offensive than Charlie’s Angels (yes I am an old) where the ‘Angels’ drove a Mustang II Ghia, Mustan

The only thing I want to know is when will Cadillac stop airing their television ads for the Lyriq on every station at every ad break.  

1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint and it is the first car I ever rode in when my parents took me home from the hospital when I was born in 1964.  And that’s me in the photo circa 1966

All I know is that it seems like the same cars race every year but under different categories.  Sure, someone can explain how this year’s Hypercar is different than last year’s LMP1 but it sure looks like only five entries (three ‘different’ ones) that appear just like the previous LMP1's

Personally, I cannot stand the hot pink Auto Nation cars and would have ranked them last. Brings back the memories of the godawful October NFL hot pink uniform trim that was festooned on us (I know, I know, breast cancer awareness...great cause, lousy looking uniforms....for a month no less!)

Any cross over or SUV

The 78 Cadillac deVille? Huh? They sold a ton of these and both the public and the press at the time were very enthusiastic with the 1977 downsized Cadillac’s (why is the 78 being singled out since they were introduced a year earlier?). And the previous generation Cadillac’s looked more like Impala’s and were just as

Maybe I am in the minority here but that was one of the most entertaining IndyCar races in recent history. Even the caution was somehow nail-biting with the strategy, the race on pit-row and the potential (and actual) spin-outs. Because of the unique conditions, you had movement from all over the field and it truly

If they shove EV’s down our throat, then we don’t have much of a choice do we?

They did not make Laser/Daytona convertibles...at least from the factory. The pic may have been either some sort of aftermarket conversion or photoshop.  This whole slideshow had some really bad editing with this, the wrong Cadillac Sedan deVille, calling out the 80's American car industry while showing a pic of

Your story about ordering a Whopper Melt reminds me of when I was a kid in the early 70's and being thrilled when Burger King started advertising a new burger called the Big Plain. Essentially a Whopper sized burger with nothing further on other than the bun. As a kid, I hated all toppings on burgers (including

I have been thinking this for years after reading The Yugo by Jason Vuic, that the story would make an AWESOME HBO or streaming service mini-series as a comedy drama.

The Rancho was not based on a Renault but rather the Simca 1100 as Simca’s were rebadged as Talbots after Chrysler Europe sold the brand to Peugeot Citroen

Looks like a manual to me.  There even appears to be six speed H pattern grid on the center console next to the shifter
