No 6 - Renault Le Car

As you can see, the Le Car had the words "Le Car" printed across the bottom of the door. The late Herb Caen, columnist of the SF Chron, was once told by a dissatisfied Le Car owner that he was going to replace the letters "Car" with "Mon," so that it would read "Le Mon!"

My vote goes to the Ford Escort of the early 80's. Ford had commercials year after year touting the Escort as the best selling car in America.

Seen any on the road lately?

I own a Ford Escort ZX2 w/5 speed on the floor. It's got lots of pep to spare on the interstate.and it's been a pleasure to drive. Built pretty solid for a car so affordable. A far cry from the old pieces of crap they used to make.

It's been a pleasent surprise from the get go.

"Le Merde" would be more like it.
