It looks like people are having a hard time deciding on the superior beater in these races:

Datsun 280z (49.91%) vs. Toyota MR2 (50.09%)

Subaru GL (49.51%) vs. Mazda MX-3 (50.49%)

Other races seem to be going as expected, with the Neon absolutely killing the Sephia (85 vs 15%). The only quasi-upset I would say is the Ford Festiva (54.15%) vs. Mitsubishi Mirage (45.85%)

I think some people might be confusing Festiva with Fiesta.

Festiva

Fiesta

I took MR2, GL, and Mirage. Who do you have?

That fiesta looks like they took the GTI and reverse-engineered it.. Never realized the Mk1 fiesta looked so similar to an Mk2 GTI.

Yeah that first gen Fiesta is quite the good looking car! Especially with the round headlights.

Yeah not bad.

This whole contest is flawed. People are just picking the car they like best, not the one "that you could crash into a tree and forget about"

The end results will be meaningless, as is proven by the Sephia/Neon battle. I mean the Neon had its issues, but the Sephia should be the clear winner if people are voting how they are supposed to.

The only reason I voted for the Festiva was because they made this insane variant.

Maybe. I voted based on the car I would have the most fun driving most before crashing into that tree. :)

Did they actually produce that? Or did just Jay Leno make it up?

I voted for Sundance over whatever it was against. For exactly that reason. I wouldn't give a crap about a sundance. For the winner I picked roadmaster.

Allow me to plead my case: First the 280

Second the Festivus

Well maybe I am just interpreting the definition incorrectly. I swear the "crash into a tree" thing was a real quote from Orlove but I don't see it now...

So now let's pick the best — for thrashing, for offroading, for drifting, for even commuting to your new gig at that coffee shop next to the sneakers hut.

That's what's on the announcement post, so I guess it really is "pick the one you like the most"

I believe they only made a couple but it's still awesome! It's like an American Renault 5 Turbo. And yea Jay Leno owns one.
