[Digital Man]

I'm suprized the Chevy Cavlier and Dodge/Chryslers K series didnt make the list. Remember Lee Iacocca's cars from the gov. bail-out? the K series... those cars were really bad.

 

[Mavs Man]

The DeLorean made the list?

I think I saw a few of the cars on that list in some Roger Moore-James Bond movies? Notably, the aeroplane one and the boat-car. :laugh2:

 

[trickblue]

It was cool to see the cars and read about them...

I could have done without the political commentary though. It kind of ruined it...

 

[CF74]

The Yugo should be #1:laugh2:

Anyone remember the "Adobe"... The sassy new Mexican import that's made out of clay?

Adobe

Spokesman.....Phil Hartman


Spokesman: These days, everyone's talking about the Hyundai, and the Yugo. Both nice cars, if you've got $3,000 or $4,000 to throw around. But, for those of us whose name doesn't happen to be Rockefeller, finally there's some good news - a car with a sticker price of $179. That's right, $179. The name of the car?

Adobe. The sassy new Mexican import that's made out of clay. German engineering and Mexican know-how helped create the first car to break the $200 barrier. At this price, you might not expect more than reliable transportation - but, brother, you get it! Extra features: like the custom contour seats, or the beverage-gripping dash. And the money you save isn't exactly small change!

Jingle:
"Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
The little car that's made out of clay!
We're gonna save you some money
that you can spend in some other way!
Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
Adobe!"

[ show Adobe driver get into a fender-bender. She casually steps out of the vehicle and uses her hands to mold her bumper back into its proper shape, in under six minutes! ]

Spokesman: Adobe. You can buy a cheaper car. But I wouldn't recommend it!

Announcer: Not approved for street use in some states. No warranty either expressed or implied. All sales final.

I was thinking the same thing. It also made some of the choices questionable since the opinion was based by some sort of "green" standards.

How can the Subaru Brat or Suzuki Samari not be on the list?

One of my first cars had so much bondo on it that my friends called it an Adobe.

Exactly... how could the Model T be on there? The description was ridiculous...

Uh-oh. Here comes trouble. Let's stipulate that the Model T did everything that the history books say: It put America on wheels, supercharged the nation's economy and transformed the landscape in ways unimagined when the first Tin Lizzy rolled out of the factory. Well, that's just the problem, isn't it? The Model T — whose mass production technique was the work of engineer William C. Klann, who had visited a slaughterhouse's "disassembly line" — conferred to Americans the notion of automobility as something akin to natural law, a right endowed by our Creator. A century later, the consequences of putting every living soul on gas-powered wheels are piling up, from the air over our cities to the sand under our soldiers' boots. And by the way, with its blacksmithed body panels and crude instruments, the Model T was a piece of junk, the Yugo of its day.

Thats a pretty silly list really.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I'm surprised at some that did and did not make the list.

I agree, TB. Freakin' pathetic. Blame the Model T cuz we have pollution 100 years later?

I'm sure the writer of the article rides a bike everywhere and lives in a freakin' cabin.
