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

[@wrbWRX]

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.

[@supercooldude824]

Not the same since Dakota left

[@TheMILVSCR]

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.

[@f-bodygarage]

@@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

[@JDMHaze]

honda dealerships alone are the cause for honda sales because of the same bad customer service but the markups dont help

[@bobbywhitney6262]

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.

[@supercooldude824]

I miss Dakota

[@urgreatestenemy]

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.

[@aluminumfalcon552]

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.

[@lauralumi9466]

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

[@stephenmoore1541]

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.

[@crw3673]

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.

[@stephenmoore1541]

@@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.

[@danteterry1071]

@@crw3673basically the tech and the drivetrain were the biggest differences. Basically everything the average person doesn’t look at

[@ELM777]

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

[@jacobasuncion3132]

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

[@jmw8004]

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.

[@tyanaichigovera7308]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting the S2000 on this list.

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

[@Cyberbeer100]

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.

[@vannom_the_fox]

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.

[@buddyboy8680]

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"

[@matthewnicholas6365]

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.

[@mphogiliana5548]

[@Fartowski]

Now is the time for a rebirth of the Lancer Evo... same body, latest tech. But RNM may have other plans.

[@ogeafa1]

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.

[@WhatTheFoock]

The MOST deserving of being killed off! Well, either that or the Trabant.

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.

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

[@chriscarlisle1974]

Nobody said it was the "original"....but it was uglier and died off way sooner

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......

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.

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.

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 😂

[@crw3673]

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. 🤔
