The Plymouth Prowler Was Pitifully Underpowered
The Plymouth Prowler, like many cars from the 1990s, was never destined to achieve classic status. Although its design paid homage to the golden era of hot rods, it missed a crucial element that defined them: horsepower. Under the hood, the Prowler’s 3.5-liter V6 delivered a modest 250 horsepower, falling short of expectations for a car with such bold styling. In 1999, it received a slight bump to 253 horsepower, but still lacked the option for a manual transmission—another key ingredient for driving enthusiasts. By 2002, Chrysler brought the Prowler’s production to an end, leaving it as an intriguing, yet underwhelming, chapter in automotive history.

A Three-Wheeled Car… What Could Go Wrong?
The Reliant Robin, a compact car manufactured by England’s Reliant Motor Company, holds the distinction of being the second most popular fiberglass vehicle in the country. Known for its quirky design and infamous three-wheel configuration, the Robin has a reputation for being prone to tipping over. While it gained some notoriety in the UK, the Robin never caught on in the United States, often leaving American drivers perplexed upon encountering one for the first time. The car achieved pop culture fame in an episode of Top Gear, where host Jeremy Clarkson repeatedly flipped it on turns—a dramatic stunt he later revealed was deliberately staged.
