When you start looking at the General Motors family tree, things really start getting weird when you get to the part of the diagram that deals with the T-Body platform. The Chevette is the best-known of the bunch, of course, but what about the variations of the fastback first-gen Isuzu Gemini?...
We've only had a single Renault in this series (unless you count the more AMC-ized Eagle Premier), which seems odd. Renault has made some weird cars that leave Americans... March 28, 2012 by Murilee Martin
Most of the vehicles in this series were built in the last 25 years, but what about classic Detroit cars that nobody in their right mind would want? The early Pontiac Tempest... March 21, 2012 by Murilee Martin
We haven't seen a Nissan product in this series since the Datsun 810, way back in September, so we're due! I've thought about the odd-looking NX2000, but then someone on the... March 14, 2012 by Murilee Martin
You know what would be a great idea? A Rover with Honda running gear and Lucas Electrics, that's what! When the Sterling showed up in North America for the 1987 model year... March 5, 2012 by Murilee Martin
Have we really sunk so low as to pursue the twisted dream of Chevy Sprint Turbo ownership? Of course! But sometimes one's Guilty Pleasure--the car you shouldn't want, but do... February 29, 2012 by Murilee Martin
When The General decided to bolster his subcompact troops by adding a Chevrolet-badged Suzuki Cultus to the lineup, even the most devoted GM apologists had to admit that the... February 21, 2012 by Murilee Martin
We went a little crazy last week, diving into the toxic waters of Triumph Stag ownership, but you'd probably manage to find a handful of people who thought the Stag was... February 15, 2012 by Murilee Martin
A lot of folks would be vaguely puzzled by your acquisition of an Acura Vigor, aka "The Forgotten Honda," but there's nothing like a classic British sports car to convince... February 8, 2012 by Murilee Martin
The last few weeks of Guilty Pleasures have gone Ford, Oldsmobile, Infiniti… but, really, the Detroit-to-Japan Guilty Pleasure ratio has been way more skewed in... February 2, 2012 by Murilee Martin
The passenger pigeon was once one of the most common birds in North America, but the last one died in 1914. The first-generation Ford Taurus might be our automotive passenger... January 25, 2012 by Murilee Martin
We've seen a late-80s Oldsmobile in this series, and I'm still looking for a nice Trofeo for my personal collection of cars that cause the owner equal measures of pride and... January 18, 2012 by Murilee Martin
Nissan was a bit behind Honda and Toyota with the introduction of a German-fighting luxury marque for North America, but the very first Infiniti was quite a machine. Based on... January 11, 2012 by Murilee Martin
With the Mark I Fiesta "honored" last week, I feel that we've lingered on Ford products long enough. We haven't considered a Chrysler-built Guilty Pleasure since the... January 4, 2012 by Murilee Martin
Last week, I was torn between the Pinto Cruising Wagon and the early Fiesta Ghia for the week's Guilty Pleasure, and went with the Pinto because millions of Yurpeans still... December 28, 2011 by Murilee Martin
I've been promising to get back to a FoMoCo Guilty Pleasure since the Lincoln Continental Mark V Givenchy Edition of more than a month ago, but then some stuff by Saab and... December 21, 2011 by Murilee Martin
