Sometimes the manufacturers get inspiration from cartoons.

 

I think the designers of the Mercedes SLR watched a lot of Ace & Gary.

That and the Aztec were some of the "Darkest Hours" for Pontiac. This is an example of what can happen when you let committees design a vehicle.

I like that it's on it's base. It represents the massive lower body cladding/ rust enabler panels that Pontiac got so liberal with in the late 80's right up until pretty much the end. Too bad it was before hybrids, that plug would have been basis for a lawsuit by Black n' Decker.

I remember here in Windsor at the 'old barn,' home of the Spitfires hockey team, General Malaise Corp. had a Lumina unveiling featuring the coupe, sedan and van models with the great Bobby Orr as the spokesman. Got to meet him and get a signed 8x10 glossy. The only good thing a Lumina ever did...ever!

One more for ya!
