Cimmaron, Catera, and the Cadillac featured on a Married with Children Comedy show episode, Allante. Anybody seen what these models, if still around, are fetching on car auctions? What a joke.

Not all is lost to Japan. We got more gold medals than them at the last Olympics!

Ah yes. The Accord. The Benchmark sedan for about 25 plus years. The world-standard.
 
I would think that most people buy cars on their merits rather than how the badge looks. There are certainly a lot of more important qualities to me than the looks of the badge. Perhaps that's more important to others.

I just checked ebay motors and it seems the Allantes are fetching quite a bit more than Lexus, Infiniti or Acura (with the exception of NSX)
 
Some cars with actual bids:
 
'93 Lexus SC - 85K miles - 3 bids - $510
 
"91 Acura Legend - 184K miles - 18 bids - $1450
 
'91 Cadillac Allante - 61K miles - 32 bids - $5700
 
How about a '95 Fleetwood D'Elegance - 37K miles - 15 bids - over $9000

I also found a 2000 Catera with 3 bids only $500 less than a 2000 Lexus ES with 9 bids. $3550 vs. $4051. Both low mileage.
 
No Cimmarons on ebay.

Thanks for posting, greg. I think sometimes it is fun to blow holes in the conventional wisdom.

...although I'll admit I never liked the Catera. I could enjoy a '93 Allante however, with hardtop.

My grandmother's cousin's "boyfriend" (feels weird using that word when you're talking about people that old) had a black Allante years ago. I think he only had it for a few months, because it was hard for him to get into and out of. He was pretty well-monied, and tended to trade often anyway, though. Tended to buy New Yorkers and Imperials back in the day, but at some point I wonder if he hit a low spot, because he bought a1980 or so Cordoba LS. But then I guess he bounced back, because it was all Caddies after that.
 
I think the last car he had before he died was a black DeVille, around a 2000 or 2001.
