One very important car not mentioned here is the Peugeot saviour, the 205. Huge part of its success was the Group B 205 T16, which became the most successful car in Group B World Rally Championship. Group B's immense popularity and the success of the 205 T16, winning the driver's and the constructor's title in both full seasons it contested, made the 205 sales sky rocket, which saved the struggling Peugeot from going under. Cool to see one of my favorite brands was saved by one of my favorite cars of my favorite motorsport.

[@iankemp1131]

Hmm, the 205 was a great car, but not sure that the rally success was what drove it. Even now I remember the "Oh, what a feeling, the 205" TV ads that made a mere number sound exciting. Then it won Car of the Year etc. Because it was simply incredibly well designed. Plenty of them were going strong when 20+ years old (my wife had one and we often saw others of similar vintage). One typical detail design point; wheel arches with no recesses where mud could build up, hence no rust in this usually weak spot for so many cars. And of course every boy racer wanted the 1.9 GTi.

[@RosyMiranto]

Is it ironic that DB7 saved Aston Martin yet the company has been bankrupt 7 times in its history? I guess this company really can't avoid number 7 even in non-James Bond related context

The DB7's front end styling became some of the most influential ever, through a process that was somewhat controversial. Ford's styling department designed it for Aston-Martin and it became a very distinctive hit. During the 2000s Ford sold Aston-Martin and started using the same theme on their own cars. Aston-Martin was pissed but without a legal leg to stand on since the original styling was done by Ford.

I feel like an oil crisis, financial recession or a war are the only reasons people actually voluntarily bought all of these econoboxes and smol cars :v The only exception being the Gallardo and Boxster, although you could argue they're more economical than their bigger sister models. Regarding the last three cars, I could figure out the 300 SL and the Bentley Continental GT, but not the first one

Ford also saved Jaguar when they came out with the XK8 which was very similar in design with the DB7.

[@c63w204W]

They were the same cars, but jag had v8s only, where as AM had v12, because Ford did not want to make a cheaper competitor for their own sinking brand

[@rustyturner431]

FYI... While the Isetta kept BMW solvent in the 1950s, the company was in dire straights by the mid-1960s (again). The 1500 got the company re-directed, then the 1602 and (2 years later) 2002 brought the company to true profitability. There have been a few hiccups since, but nothing like the old days. Plus, the 1602/2002 were both splendid cars to drive; something nobody ever accused the Isetta of being.

I had a 2011 Mercury Milan for almost 4 and half years. I got it in June 2012 about 3 1/2 months after my car accident. I picked the car since it had lowest mileage from the Ford Fusions at that time. It was a very good cat in driving. I test drove it and drove it home that same day. For a couple of weeks both of my parents were driving it. When I finally drove it in early July that same year. I totaled it by hitting a deer the 2nd time on December 8 or 9th, 2016. The 1st one was 8 months before. I’m a Ford gal and mostly drive a Ford vehicle.
