Edmunds Most Significant Vehicles, 1966-2006
'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. |

This is incorrect in that the reverse actually occured. TIME WARNER (in a less than enlightened move I might add) purchased America Online (not American) Inc. in 2000. BTW... I Agree with the LS400 recommendation for 1990... however if the introduction year of the vehicle is the only one that can be counted, than the Miata still probably had a bigger impact on ITS market segment for its intro year, than did the LS. Also the LS is well... as exciting as watching tree sap.
