Edmunds Most Significant Vehicles, 1966-2006

Replying to: andre1969 (Oct 24, 2006 9:41 am) Yes, the ML (M class) had very bad reliability at first -- I'm not sure if other Mercedes were also heading down that road at the same time -- Fintail?

Replying to: 210delray (Oct 24, 2006 5:25 pm) So, likely some kind of pre-production vehicles. All product placement, really added to the hype surrounding the vehicle at the time. MB started really having problems around that time...Some W210 E class were glitchy, then the ML came around and they were really dodgy at new. The W220 S-class for model year 2000 was out in the spring of 99 and had several model years of issues. Early W203 C-class had problems too. 1998 was probably the first really iffy year. |

'00 through '06 posted, so that just about sums it up. Meh.

Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 25, 2006 9:40 am) Certainly for 2005, the new Mustang must have been a strong contender for the honors. I agree with the 300 choice, but the Mustang really showed that Ford is capable of doing it right and producing an all-around outstanding car (when it wants to). It also gave us a affordable domestic performance car that can hold its own and seems likely to be the match that reignites the pony car wars.

Replying to: alpha1517 (Oct 25, 2006 12:01 pm) Before the hi po Chargers die out the second time, I still think we're going to see a special, limited edition Charger Daytona "Superbird" (yeah I know, mixing the brands, but) edition, complete with towel rack spoiler and aero nose...

Replying to: john_324 (Oct 26, 2006 2:30 pm) I always thought that was the main reason, but I also heard that they made the spoiler that big to help keep the rear wheels planted on the pavement better at higher speeds on the NASCAR track. |
