ITT: Cars that would have been legendary if it wasnt for one fatal flaw

Speaking of shitboxes, the ZX2 could have had a more lasting reputation if they hadn't over-lapped the launch of the Focus over it.
It was supposed to be the last hoorah for the Escort platform, and it was a really thrashable little shitbox, but the Focus ZX3 stole the spotlight.
So I guess its flaw was bad sales timing.

Legendarily ugly. Reliable cars that were made for TEN YEARS and there are still tons on the road.

The only reason these raised-roof Neons are still kicking is because most of them were initially owned by grandmas who kept them in garages and only drove them to church and back.

Plenty of 200k examples around. The engines are bulletproof, and they are cheap as shit to keep running. Parts are as cheap as they could be and they are everywhere.

Unless the tires are slipping with normal power this shouldn't be a problem.
Better fuel economy, less weight, less parasitic loss, and more beginner friendly driving dynamcs.
Fits perfectly for a cheap fun car

There technically was. But M2 Miatas are incredibly rare. I’ve only seen one on Craigslist ever.

PEAK dogshit domestic days. 1990-2006 was when all the execs knew the companies were going bankrupt and were just producing worthless crap committing fraud, stealing inflated salaries, retirement packages, golden parachutes, stealing exec cars for them, their wife, their kids. it was NUTS how much cronyism fraud was occurring in Metro Detroit at the big 3

still tons on the road? not really. far more in the junkyard
