Remember this car? In an episode during the 2nd season of The Simpsons, Homer was put in charge of designing a car for regular Joes like him. The result was The Homer. It cost $82,000 (this was in 1991). Its features included:- Extremely large beverage holder
- Tail fins
- Bubble domes
- Shag carpeting
- Several horns that all play "La Cucaracha"
- A second soundproof bubble dome with optional straps and muzzles for kids
The Homer failed miserably and bankrupted the manufacturer.
This long lost tribute to the auto industry immediately popped into my head when I saw this commercial for the Pontiac Stinger. Thank God this monstrosity never caught on. One look at this and you know why Pontiac is no more:

Holy Moly that car would have be awseome today the Pontiac Stinger of course with a higher drive line and updated components.
Had Pontiac made the car that used untilitarian ideas like that, quality, price and performance with good gas mileage with all there cars they and GM would probably still be in business.
To bad retrominded losers and failures run most companies today.
