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?

Remember, one man's worthless hunk of metal is another man's large family transporting, minivan-substituting, masculine image-preserving vehicle.

Yep you are right
 
So the E gets it...surprising in a way. Styling wise it did set some trends I guess, but it was a far from perfect car. More significant than a Vette anyway, although it did look like a car of the future compared to what it replaced.
 
So...1998...New Beetle?

Thought so.
 
Yeah 1998 has to be the new beatle. It started off the whole retro trend and kind of kicked VW up out of the dolldrums they had been in.

Hahahahahah.... too true! If anything though, the most significant thing about the large "luxury SUVs" was perhaps the manufacturers coming out of the closet and straight up dropping the "utility." It was saying, "Hey, these things are all about creature comforts and image."

Must have had C6 on the brain (that's the one we've been writing about for the last two years). Text will be updated to "C5" shortly.
