I had totally forgotten they still make this. However, I had one as a rental a few years ago and it was actually far better than it was ten years ago.

I feel bad for acing this one, because it's not true. I hadn't seen the new Prius yet when I filled this out, and it's way better looking than last year.

I'm thinking they meant the 60's muscle car version vs the modern econobox versions.

Oh I'm sure, it's a totally valid answer compared to what it originally was.

My former in-laws had an early 2000s one, which was just godawful and it getting totaled by a Wrangler was what it deserved. So bad that's what my mind goes to.

Hey now, I think the first-gen 3 was a good looking car (biased since I owned one) but the second gen was definitely a giant step backwards. The two generations since have each been the best-looking yet, though.

I think it's the C3 because of emissions and build quality that everyone is hating on them. They look loving amazing but because they were so dogshit performance/build wise, no one likes them.

nm again got questions confused but i stand by what i said although C1 and 2 look loving awesome so yeah, you people are wrong IDC if you got the points

If I got a Corvette, it'll be a C3 first no question. Yeah sure it's old tech suspension and it got choked by emission - name me a car that didnt! - but it's got *style* and that car is easily woken up engine-wise and can be turned into a very respectable handling and braking package.

Yeah, I was being specific when I said Stingray (C3) and not Sting Ray (C2). The C3 is still incredible looking.

The Vette peaked with the C2. Yeah the C3 looks good, provided we're talking about an early chrome bumper car, but it recycled the C2 chassis with somehow much worse build quality. And the C2 is gorgeous in its own right.

Part of the reason that the Japanese manufacturers don’t bring over the small kei and mini class cars is that there is no margin on them for dealerships. No matter the manufacturer, their budget options are absolute anvils.

Well, maybe except for Mitsubishi
