    @Pessimippopotamus: This was the reason I clicked on this feature.

    It looks similar to the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.

    Just having the idea of some one making a racing version of the alfa make me giggle in joy.

    I tried to google it but no luck :(

    Oh, and of course the Mitsubishi Carisma, the least charismatic car EVER built. But since CAR magazine points this out in every issue, I guess this post is redundant.

    @RentalCarGuy: Yeah, but the "Carisma Evo" was just a Lancer Evo with a Carisma nameplate on it. Not a Carisma at all, that is. A cynical (and short-lived) attempt to help market the unmitigated disaster that was the Carisma.

    The Honda Joy Machine sounds pretty optimistic to me. I'm not making that up.

    I propose the following change to the aspire caption:

    If you've purchased a Ford Aspire, you immediately aspired to obtain a better car.

    Error!

    The Suzuki Swift was only offered with the 70hp, 1.3-litre four in the US (or with the 16-valve GTi engine). While the Geo Metro sister car was slow, the Swift was rather swift indeed.

    Maybe the Dodge Dynasty was referencing the seemingly endless existence of the K-car platform.

    Speaking of optimistic, the Aspire trim level that includes the saddest-looking fog lamps ever...

    You meant Plymouth Acclaim, right? Because the Triumph Acclaim was the applause of nation freed from BL domestic terrorism. But, yeah, it was probably not as much fun to drive as a Dolomite Sprint.

    Le Awesomist sounds like the house brand of body spray from Hot Topic.

    Surely the horrible Hyundai Excel deserves a spot here, as well.
