Car of the year..it's ludicrous! What ever next....film of the year?!  ::)


it is ludicrous.


Here's proof:


1979 COTY - the fabulous Chrysler Horizon.


And its older but just as shit brother:


1976 COTY - the underwhelming Chrysler Alpine.

Yes and in the early '80s[82?] we had the Renault 9 :D From memory there are not that many cars of the year that have gone on to be truly successful.

The base model R9 [TL I  think]didn't have a passenger side sun visor and from memory the front passenger seat didn't adjust fore and aft,you had to go to at least the next one up in the range[TC?] to get such luxuries as standard :D

Think the 9 and 11 were the same car, just saloon and hatchback?

I drove a 20TC auto for a while, it could shift and was, I thought, quite luxurious at the time.

I remember the old man had help setup a Renault dealership and shortly after the Fuego arrived....remote unlocking, turbo engine, more electrics than you had ever seen on a mainstream car......its French right, what could go wrong!

Then I recall visiting one in Mansfield to carry out an RAC inspection for a perspective buyer.....never seen so much rot on something which supposedly had an MOT....that and the ignition switch was hanging down by the clutch pedal, I would guess it was about ten years old.

I also note there are 6 left on the road and 21 running.....no surprise really!
