For the 'Merican 4 cyl Turbos, I'll put my bet on the granddaddy,
the scout 800 turbo. about as indestructible and unstoppable as
anything.
Thats a good one! You should submit it. Actually I've got enough
contacts in LA it seems like I ought be know somebody that works on
the show...
I think Chrysler in the '80s and '90s was the worst for this sort of
marketing malarky. Another good one might be "American 4cyl Turbo".
My wife had a Dodge Lancer turbo which was a K car tarted up a bit
with a good turbo charged engine that the chassis really couldn't
handle. I'd like to know what the PT Cruiser with the turbo drives
like. I had a PT Cruiser as a rental once and I thought its handling
was soft and not-confidence inspiring. With more power I think it'd
be scary.
Ooo, what about "American car makers ruined: " where they show off a
classic American car and then show the monstrosity it spawned. Show
a classic Mustang next to a 4cyl automatic Mustang from about 1984...

Okay - got an idea -
War of the Sports.
On my way to work today I got stuck behind a early 90s Dodge Grand Caravan
SPORT. This reminded me that chrysler had a trip package SPORT which I
think bsically meant that the name of the car was the same color as the car
and the word sport was written in script somewhere on the car. A group of
tests show which SPORT is the best. I think the dakota, Neon, minivans came
in the sport trip package - any takers? This way American top gear could
jsut copy my idea.
