"Breaking news on the FT-86! Now it's going to be FWD and a sedan! And have a hybrid powertrain with 0-60 of approximately 8 seconds! And the Subaru version will be a body-on-frame SUV; both are priced in the mid 35,000 range!"

Yes, but will women buy it?
May your marriage be as the Chrysler Slant-Six: virtually indestructible and beloved by all, a legend among its peers.
If it's new, the only answer is Dacia Logan. Honest, simple, third-world tested. If it has to be american, whatever stripper Silverado they're selling; this may be damning by faint praise but the Silverado is certainly the lowest-tech of the Big Three's offerings...
Where would they mount the twin tanks in the stepside in the last photo--inside the wheel wells?

You might say I'm GT3 RH positive.
A beat-to-hell '94 Miata. If someone calls it a chick or a queer car they don't know what they're talking about.

BOXXY PLS
I dont know how the Azera slots in between the Genesis and the Sonata.
It always got decent reviews in a Buick-y sort of way; I once passed two baby boomers in a parking garage raving about how much they loved their respective Azerae.
I love this design. No apologies. I think it's because I had a two-tone Matchbox of it as a child, but the bustleback is irrepressibly bizarre and I respect that.
Hell, I'd even call it elegant, especially compared to its boorish Continental contemporary.

Man, some long answers.
It's an interesting idea, but muscle cars looked good and had a whiff of danger. They aint what killed GM.
It the committee--which would have prevented the GTO in the first place. It was losing the motivation and drive of one man's unique genius to make something special. Other successes:

Heck, I'm sure you all could come up with fifty more. But it's hard for me to think of a period where a car company ruled by committee turned out something brilliant.
See, when you start off driving one of these, that butt yaw sensor gets primed for a lifetime of driving.
@Number_Six: I can't figure out how to do it around town; in my car you'd have to stamp the brake pedal down REALLY far to roll over to the gas.
@Mulry: I don't think I'll ever forget the line "We used the same door for 27 years. Why? It was a good door."
@cgarison: I forgot about the Supra! That was a great car! I always liked driving the Diablo on the city level because you could get it up to the heady speed of 202 mph; the best opponent car was the Porsche Turbo--wasn't that the slowest one?
I know the NSX wasn't that quick either but dad drove a Legend at the time and my brand loyalty didn't allow such betrayal.
PS: the lamborghini had the best video, in my opinion...
@Rust-MyEnemy: YES. The OG Road & Track Need For Speed!
The videos were the best part...
