Yes, the MG and the MG Midget. I loved those cars! Later, I moved on to the Fiat Spyder.

I strongly disliked the Garmen Ghia, and was glad this car was set to discontinue.

MG is still around, they just haven't been sold in the USA for a while.

Hummer is being resurrected as an all-EV brand. The 2023 allotment is already sold out as is most of the 2024 allotment.

DeLorean is attempting a comeback with an EV called the Alpha 5 scheduled for sale in 2024. As of now it's all vaporware so we'll see.

they are, but they are the ugliest SOBs, half azzed CUVs clones from someone elses small crapper. I learned to drive stick on a 79-B (dad was a dealer) when was the last 'roadster-ish' offering they did?


Saw a last year midget at a car show 2 days ago...might be the only survivor in pitt.

The Midget and the Fiat Spider when I drove them, hard to purchase parts. By the time the car was
able to get back on the road - it was half American.

I learned to drive the stick on these cars too. I loved it. I drove through Manhatten, easy and smooth
around the corners, and had more advantages to parking due to sizing. I loved driving the small convertibles in the Big Apple - looking up at the skyscapes - just awesome. Great on gas going from Long Island all through to the city. Youth and a GREAT car!

I still get misty-eyed on the rare occasion I see a 1971 AMC Javelin.

I’m torn between a pair of GM brands, Olds and Pontiac, and…DeSoto. DeSoto was making some really neat cars in the late 50s.

My son misses his new 1986 Firebird.

Chevy's going to retire the Camero next year, 2024. Good times. Good memories. A fun ride . . .

Where is "none of the above". I did like the H2. Just a rebodied suburban with some off road parts bolted on, but I liked how brawny they were. They were like a shark hunting for a Prius to eat.

Not sure why "Edsel" is listed as a brand. Edsel was a model made by the brand name Ford for a short production run in 1957. Edsel was never a brand by itself.
