  29. I'll never understand Jaguar's thinking on the new XJ6.  Apparently sales
  30. were suffering so they took an upscale car made it cheaper and less powerful
  31. then tried to sell it for about the same thing.

  33. Personal favorites:
  34. most overpriced        - Honda  Del Sol
  35. ugliest                - Hummer  (though I'd buy one in a second)
