U forgot to add the r8 and hellcats and u call ur self American 😳
YES I AM SUBSCRIBED!
The Focus RS was a prime example of why dealerships need to be abolished. Dealerships are 100% responsible for the failure of that car in America because they wouldn’t let people test drive it and they did massive markups before they were cool. The RS was a sick hatch in its own right but it’s target audience couldn’t afford to throw down the ridiculously high 65-70k price points of the dealer markups for what was really a glorified ST with all wheel drive. I always loved the look of those cars but knowing the price point kept them completely off my radar
I’ve been saying that for years. I tried hard to get one and couldn’t. A large dealer in my area had 3 2018s they were asking $20k over and wouldn’t budge. Still had them in 2020 asking the same. That pushed me away from any Ford product ever.
Not the same since Dakota left
I had a 2012 non-RS version of the Focus for about 3 years, and the transmission was so damn bad (we got out of via a lemon law). But I tried to push my wife at the time to the RS, she wasn't having it because of the the transmission issue with ours. I would've loved to have the badass equivalent to said vehicle. It was a sick little hatch that was amazing.
@@TheMILVSCR yeah those DCTs were hot garbage, focuses of any trim level with a manual are actually quite reliable but the automatics unfortunately gave the cars a bad reputation
honda dealerships alone are the cause for honda sales because of the same bad customer service but the markups dont help
I have always wanted ANY year Mitsubishi Lancer EVO after seeing the movie "2 Fast 2 Furious" but the Mitsubishi dealers ONLY had the "Lancer" cars at that time. Sad lost to see this all-wheel drive beast die off.
I miss Dakota
I've owned two Evos 8 last one was a MR crashed the first one on a wet bridge and rolled the other into a ditch after attempting to avoid a running deer trying to commit suicide on the highway. I miss my evos they are great cars I had to buy a WRX because I couldn't find another Evo in my area fun car but not as good as the Evos.
A buddy of mine had a Lancer Evo X GSR, I was sad for him and surprised when he got rid of it. Such a badass car.
Fun fact, the chevette is one of the most famous and cheapest drift cars here in Brazil, people swap engines, put turbos and even compete in championships in them, it is very loved by Brazilians since you can get it for 2 thousand reais and the next cheapest rwd drift fitting car is the e36 for more than 30 thousand reais, so it is kind of a legend around here lol
The 5th gen Honda Prelude is the only gen I've gotten to drive but even with a busted rear passenger side suspension, it was still THE BEST HANDLING CAR I'VE EVER DRIVEN! It has pretty much the same suspension as the original NSX but FWD and with a back seat.
Pardon my ignorance, but what was the difference between a Honda Prelude and a 2 door Honda Accord? I think they were too similar to coexist. From a manufacturer standpoint, do you get my point.
@@crw3673 the first gen prelude was pretty much no different, but as the gens went on, they kept upgrading the suspensions and the engines. Most people didn't see a difference though and bought the cheaper options ie civics and accords.
@@crw3673basically the tech and the drivetrain were the biggest differences. Basically everything the average person doesn’t look at
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting the S2000 on this list.
The best sounding award goes to the LFA. It ends there. When it comes to Japan's best the popular answers include the NSX, the R34 GTR. Even the s200 gets more love than the LFA. Few people were willing to fork over all that cash to end up struggling against R35 GTR
If Pontiac made a modern Trans Am out of a modern Camaro like they always did in past, it would have had helped Pontiac sales and saved the brand
Pontiac was already dead by the time the 5th gen Camaro made it to production
Or even a firebird!
This was a good list I have a few more to add to the list: Honda CRX, Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, Toyota Celica, Mazda Speed3, and Volkswagen Karman Ghia
We had an Xb. Cheap? Yes. Horrible aerodynamics? Yes. Noisy at speed? Yes. But it was freaking bulletproof. Aside from poorly designed brakes and the classic rust-out Toyota exhaust, it ran like a watch and was super practical. Surprisingly great in the snow.
What about the Ford Pinto?... a notable car that came with free cremation if you got in a bad accident.
LOve your videos, but the STi needed more time for the moment of silence!
I own a pontiac 87 fiero gt and my wife owns a pt cruiser. Take care of your car and it will last a long time. My fiero is garage kept.
Now is the time for a rebirth of the Lancer Evo... same body, latest tech. But RNM may have other plans.
No mention of the Toyota Celica, Honda CR-X or Nissan Stagea?
I had a 2.0S (Carb) and a 2.0Si Prelude, both 1989 models. Miss those cars so much, was like driving a 5 speed go-kart.
Is it a matter of choice that the Yugo was somehow NOT on this list? Forgotten because we 'want to forget' that disaster of a car. ---Just my two cents.
The MOST deserving of being killed off! Well, either that or the Trabant.
For me, as someone who live nearby japan and can buy used, and not only, cars from japan, the discontinue of a Toyota legendary drift sedan was a tragedy... RIP Mark II... Maybe, many do not know you, but you we're Supra's 4door brother.
Love the Z8 but I don't think we (Britain) made too many large capacity V8 2 seat roadsters tbh. Smaller, lighter, lower powered was thr British formula for most cases. I wouldn't put cars like the DB5 or E-Type in the general "British Roadster" category tbh. Lotus, MG, etc are what springs more to mind.
You missed the Mitsubishi Galant man.....When did they stop the production of the Galant, especially the 2003 models? I want to see them come back with a refreshed model of the 2003 Mitsubishi Galant.
Bring back a VR4 Galant. Awd and Turbocharged please
How is there no Yugo in the list of the worst?
The 2006 Evo IX is the Bruce Lee of sports cars, its awesome in many ways.
And the LFA is still my desktop's wallpaper😍. I wish the BMW i8 was on this list though
Always love how they come up with unique car videos so often
So true
I miss Dakota
the evo is the one of the reasons im studying to get good grades in school because before i die i wanna drive one
I’ve had a 2012 evo x and still have 04 evo 8. Also been slowly chipping away at restoring an evo pajero for the last almost 2 years. I will always have an evo in the garage
Okay whoa there. You cannot talk nasty about the Corvair. That thing was total conspiracy.
Agreed…they need to do more research because they are definitely wrong
Syclone and typhoon for the truck guys here.
Great content 👌, I wish you mentioned the mazda speeds
A few years back I owned a 1985 Pontiac Fiero,and it NEVER gave me a problem. The car was comfortable…fun to drive…and believe it or not…went through snow like a hot knife through butter! (If the snow wasn’t TOO deep) I kinda wish I still had it…but now I finally own a BEAUTIFUL 1977 Black and Gold Trans-Am…so I’m not going to complain. 😉
Mazdaspeed 3. I waited and waited and waited for its resurrection (after owning a Gen 1 for 7.5 years) and it never came (after a number of teasers) so I finally gave up and bought a Golf R which turned out to be a vastly superior hot hatch albeit more costly.
Big Mitsubishi Evolution fan. Owned one. Mitsubishi needs to bring them back to the open market. Seriously.
They won't and never will
You guys mentioned the El Camino SS like it was the original. The Ford ranchero was the original, and they had the ranchero with the Cobra jet engine in it. Whoops the snot out of the SS
Nobody said it was the "original"....but it was uglier and died off way sooner
@@chriscarlisle1974 ugly you're subjective. I thought the rancheros looked better than the El caminos. Except for the last generation of rancheros. As for died off sooner, they both lasted about 23 years.
Ranchero died in 1979....ElCamino in 1987. True, the El was made for 25 years vs 22 for the Ranchero, but it died off way sooner.
@@chriscarlisle1974 it also started way sooner. And the EC was 64-87, only 23 years. 57-79 for the ranchero. And the 70-71 ranchero CobraJets were some of the sexiest utes
Great list Trav!
A vehicle they do need to bring back although it's not a car well technically a van would be the Chevrolet Astro
Number 6 doesn't make sense since the Huracan is still in production
lambo has announced this is the final run of the huracan and its replacement will be launched in 2023 or 2024.
@@glarrettvlerdone so they're not even out of production yet
Both the Aventador and Huracan are going to be replaced by hybrid successors in 2024 but yeah, they are too early to be on this list lol
The Chevrolet Chevette 1.4 liter engine was rated at 52 hp, not 23. It would be absurd for a modern car to have Ford Model T horsepower.
Back in the nineties, I test drove a Fiero. As I was driving, my friend yelled "it's on fire!" I looked in the rear view mirror and watched in horror as flames came up out of the engine bay. I pulled in front of someone's house, grabbed a hose, and put it out. I did not buy the car......
I was lucky enough to get 1 of the 3000 Focus RS's brought to America. I did get to test drive it and WoW was it a fun test drive. Mine is Nitrous Blue and the Special Edition Model. It was my daily driver and now is a 2nd driver. It still make the hair on my neck stand when you hit the boost and to this day has NEVER spun the wheels on pavement. I paid $50K for mine so the markup wasn't to steep. But, bang for the buck, is very good. Traction alone is awesome and it's nice to have a Hellcat owner in a panic when you leave him at the line. However, the V8 will run me down at about 200 ft. I always tell them " It's not your moms Focus"
It's sad that the Corvette is the last american car in its BodyStil... And not even this is entirely true 😑 RIP Viper!
Great Video! I agree with all this content, well done guys!!!
Appreciate the continued support!
I miss dakota
I was really expecting to see AMC and eagle lineup as well. Definitely need to revisit and add some of the most iconic auto makers
9:05 It’s Alfa Romeo not Alpha Romeo!
To be honest, I always liked the PT cruiser looks and design. Rubbish in many ways, but it does not look that bad.
I had one as my first car, very unusual in the UK to have a 2.0 vehicle as a first car so I liked it, was a good size for passengers, don't really know how big the boot was, seemed okay but my boot release broke off so I could only access it by pulling down my back seat.
Did no one notice that that wasn't a jag but a Mercedes the queen was bespokedly driven to her last residence in???
Yeah, I noticed that immediately! I'm like, "Jaguar, what is he going on about? That's a Benz!"
The element was and continues to be a great car. It can haul almost anything small and runs like a tank at 200K+ miles.
5:07 I was 18 years old when I got my Scion xB and I loved that thing! We still have it to this day and it runs great! Little secret is that the xB if done right are burnout machines for a FWD car 👀
Absolutely agree with the top pick 👍 R.I.P the Dodge Viper 😞
If you guys ever return to this list you should include the Holden commodore and the Mitsubishi delica. Also loved the video!
Aztek is not a bad car it just didn’t age well in comparison to other cars
That's the bad part
I think the Pontiac Aztek is an awesome car it was just made before it's time
They also had build quality issues, plastic everything. My homies pops had one it we made fun if it mercilessly, the transmission blew up on around 90,000 miles.
@@illuminatidestroyerbear2231 I admit the build quality could have been better
I have a buddy who hated his and sold it to buy a Mitsubishi Montero. His montero is a valve stem seal eater lol. The Aztec is still running.
if they made a 240sx refresh id buy it instantly
I would buy a aztek but I would need a custom front bumper and back looks good to me 😅😅
i miss my baja turbo..... the motor finally died at 263k tried to source a STI powertrain, gave up and tired to just find a good WRX turbo set up couldnt find one worth swapping in smae with the oem drivetrain so i sold the roller for 2k more then i paid for it...dude said he was gunna rebuild it..... wish i woulda just kept it
Vr6 corrado in America and yes I know they’re still sold over the pond.
To me VR6 Corrado was the closest thing to a Porsche without paying the Porsche price
Brad i really need to know what are the best first reliable car for a new driver please
The early Eagle Talon Tsi AWD. I have one and it’s a beast.
Plymouth Prowlers for the most part increased in value. Go try to find one in new condition for less than $40,000 dollars.
Dealerships were selling them for twice their MSRP due to their low numbers. One here in Mt sold for $90,000 at the dodge dealership.
Crazy Taxi is classic af frfr !! 😎🤘🏽
The fiero was cool though lol. IT was mostly the 84 that had the fire issue, But it ruined its reputation
I wish the evo was still here
what about the Mazdaspeed 6? 2.3ltr turbo AWD 2006 and 2007
one thing i never got was why the impala 2013 model v6 3.6 liter was never mention on any list
The Veloster N's failure had little to do with the door configuration. The problem is that Hyundai stealerships (who are notoriously scumbags) were charging ~$17,000 over MSRP. It got to be such a problem that Hyundai decided it was no longer worth making the car.
When l was in high school from 72 to 75 there were at least six Corvairs. My buddy had a 2dr 64 Monza with a 4 speed that l drove quite a bit and it was great. Not fast but not slow it was enough and the only thing l noticed that was dangerous was it would oversteer but he had 14x7" rally wheels with radials it wasn't much of an issue. Sounded like a 911 too
Prowler, Prelude, MR2, Fiero, FJ, Baja, Silvia, Trans Am, Magnum, S2000, LFA are the only ones that deserve to still live.
In the early 90's guy I was neighbors with bought an 1984 Fiero even thou told by many to avoid. A year later it caught fire while parked over night. He swore up and down that someone did it. Yep GM engineering.
I absolutely love the El Camino
How did the queen ride off in a Jag and you show a Merc 😂
my thoughts exactly
Just picked up a 09 evo MR with 44k km on it. Got it for under 40k Canadian. Its my second one after I totalled my first one. Bought a bmw and that shit just keeps breaking down lol had to switch back.
If you have ever drove an fj you would totally understand why it was terminated. That is unless you don't care to see.
I had a 1983 Chevy Chevvette in the early to mid 2000s. 4 speed manual.....man did i get sooo much crap/stares for driving that car. Lmao i miss it
I knew a guy who put a 350 in a chevette. He literally ripped it in half right in front of the school showing off doing burnouts. It was a rusted hunk of shit. Dude went one way and his rear end went another and hit a parked car.
yea the suvivor guy lived in my hometown.... i remember when the tax shit went down as a kid..it was all over the new ..real big deal...lol
I love the 65 corvair good car
I love firebird my dad has a 79 trans am firebird looks so cool hasn’t ran in years tho
17:06 umm.. idk how to tell you this but that seems to me like an E Class hearse, not an XJ
FJ cruiser is still being made and sold in south Africa
Well, as usual 80% of the ugliest cars were in the "good" side of the video 😂 But hey, to each their own *PS...love the way in the first part of the video where you explained how the Fiero was notorious for engine fires...the fire was coming from the front of the car 😂
So... if you squint, that Jaguar hearse looks a lot like a Mercedes. Lol!
I had a friend who owned a Chevette. We called it the Shove It .
Worst car ever made is definitely not the a gm product but it was certainly the yogo or agreeably the reliant Robin
2002 last year for the Veloster?
The s2000 would be great to get going again.
2002 will be the velosters final year? can you maybe do another take on that
AWD Hot Hatch EVO, if kept close chassis wise, would sell like crazy today. Even if it had a mediocre transmission or something. Itd probably be a Nissan and called a Kancer Shmeevo or something now.
Was the 23hp voice over Dan Reikart?
It's funny how the Chevette is such an icon in Brazil
what about the Honda ridgeline????
I loved the Nissan S cars because of its been a drift machine
They should bring back the 1966 Corsair as a ev all they need to do is update the interior
1985 GNX Buick . That was a great one ! .
Just an FYI....the Buick Grand National GNX was only made in 1987
Yeah I realized that after I posted it , it was ' 87 . My late wife and I almost bought the '85 Grand Nash but we decided on the G.T.P . Grand Prix instead . Best Wishes for the holidays .
Man, that would be awesome. GN or GNX. GTP not a bad choice either, I have 2 GTPs, a 97 2door and a 2000 4door
The Dodge Viper has been a dream car for a long time and I'm sad it's not being made anymore.
Now I want to see a Subaru Baja with its roof cut off in Crazy Taxi
The Hurst you showed was a MB
Thank you for not including the Mazda Miata
I'm so sick of the hate on the Aztek, Fiero and the Covair. The Aztek should have never been under the Pontiac umbrella, period. If it was built under Chevy or GMC, it would have had a better looking front end. Pontiac needed to stay in it's lane and made low volume performance cars. The Fiero was one of many GM cars, rushed into production without proper development! And just when they got it right, in 1987 pulled from production. Same thing goes for the Covair! After GM redesign the rear suspension, it was pulled from production. The El Camino got dropped like all the other G bodies, because GM thought FWD was the future of all cars. Maybe also why the Fiero got dropped. 🤔
You forgot about the Shelby Dodge Omni GLH.
The Thunderbird but with a decent engine.
You turn the ac on in a chevette and it's like kicking the car in it's balls. - bill hicks
The Celica gt four was killed off too soon
