#300 of 349 Well... by lemko Oct 13, 2006 (8:30 am)
...I'd pick three cars as significant "lasts." The 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood, Buick Roadmaster, and Chevrolet Caprice were the last full-size, full-frame, RWD, V-8-powered GM cars. Ten years ago, these cars were numbers one, two, and three on my car-shopping short list Replies to this message: bumpy (Oct 13, 2006 9:02 am)

Replying to: lemko (Oct 13, 2006 8:30 am) Hmmm. I'd say the Impala SS would be a good runner-up for 1994 and might have made the grade if GM hadn't killed the RWD cars two years later to build more Tahoes.

Replying to: fintail (Oct 12, 2006 5:44 pm) Normally, I wouldn't know.... But, I had a '95 Pathfinder SE... the last of the boxy ones...   Well, it wasn't really the last.... as noted by others, the boxy look is back...
#303 of 349 '96 Taurus.. by kyfdx HOST Oct 13, 2006 (1:23 pm)
If that was the first year of the ovoid model, then that might be it.... Replies to this message: fintail (Oct 13, 2006 1:27 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 13, 2006 1:23 pm) I think you're right on the Pathfinder   The car that coincided with the Taurus' fall from grace can't be the best in 96. I'd vote for the 1996 E just because of its early use of side airbags and its new face, compared to a poorly themed Taurus. There has to be something better than either.
#305 of 349 Let's finish out the decade... by bumpy Oct 13, 2006 (3:39 pm)
Ford Taurus for 1996 Acura Integra Type-R for 1997 Lincoln Navigator for 1998 Honda Insight for 1999
#306 of 349 Forget the Audi TT?? by xgc75 Oct 13, 2006 (4:18 pm)
I'm a Little dissapointed in all of you! Who could forget the introduction of the Audi TT in '98? Is it not a revolutionary car or a worldwide success? The TT took over press intrest for a great deal of time with its unique shape and design, but especially for its exemplary performance. And we can't forget the stunning interior. Not only that, but the TT made great use of modern structural materials, computers, and the wonderful Quattro awd system.
#307 of 349 What year... by andre1969 Oct 13, 2006 (6:47 pm)
did the new Beetle come out? 1997? I could see that thing getting picked because many people consider it to be what kicked off the retro craze. Although honestly, I think the retro craze really started with the Dodge Ram in 1994. Replies to this message: 210delray (Oct 13, 2006 7:49 pm) british_rover (Oct 14, 2006 6:26 am)

Replying to: editor_karl (Oct 13, 2006 7:39 am) thanks for the explanation, Karl. I guess I just got thrown off by the way the Ram's description was worded. Made me think that they were crediting the '94 with being the first year it offered a 4-speed automatic, period.

Replying to: andre1969 (Oct 13, 2006 6:47 pm) The first year of the reincarnated Beetle was 1998. It might be the pick for that year. Replies to this message: british_rover (Oct 14, 2006 6:26 am)
