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.

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.

What year... by andre1969

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.

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.

The first year of the reincarnated Beetle was 1998. It might be the pick for that year.

Yeah that would be the best pick for 1998.

I think the Audi TT was a model year 1999 vehicle.

Well, fintail, E-series for 1996. So, for the '97 vette, why all the emphasis on performance cars? I just cannot see where they are all that significant in terms of total car sales and the overall market or trends. *shrugs* They do garner attention, though.
 
Oh, and fintail, will you please explain your rationale behind the Navigator, of all worthless hunks of metal?
