    Sending that car into battle can elicit two responses:


    1, Pity from the opposing force who proceeds to give Hiluxes and Land Cruisers to the "impoverished" US Forces.

    2, Hate from the opposing force at the automobile and severly increased enemy firepower, but makes a good decoy

    That is too true. Pretty much every innovative and/or significant domestic car is made when the manufacturer has a (self-imposed) crisis and has no choice but to either knock one out of the park or go out of busness.


    1986 & 2010 Taurus, Fusion Hybrid, upcoming Fiesta, Chrysler minivans, Neon, LH (often rumored to stand for "Last Hope") cars, early-90s Northstar Cadillacs, original Saturns, the list goes on.


    Then they get lazy and build utter crap for the next decade, and the cycle starts over.

    May I suggest using Sebrings as fuel for power plants. That way, we can burn them with fire AND provide much-needed electricity during these hot summer months.

    That GEO Tracker one is hilarious. They should make politicians ride in it as well.


    May I suggest throwing some 13" deep-dish chrome rims on it as well-possibly Daytons.

    @Roberto Grijalva: Hey man, you're talking about my childhood there. To this day I'm amazed by the stuff my dad hauled home in that thing.


    Part of me thinks thats all the car most people need. But the other part of me decided to buy a 4500lb, body on frame, four wheel drive SUV, despite being single, having a 30 mile daily commute, $4.00 gas and not actually having to haul anything.
