So I took the quiz

And got 71-80% with my 4-door Cutlass Supreme. Who knew such a normal car was so jalop?

Wow! The manual Subie wagon I used to own only got 6-10%. And somehow my '06 Sierra rew cab, my '74 Buick Apollo, and the '04 GTO I used to own all tied at 21-30%. Fun quiz, but a bit ... off

Indeed. Although mine might score a bit, as it's a rare Brougham Sedan with the canadian-only Chevrolet 305 V8.

That's the same score I got with the Ranchero, which with multiple carbs/ throttle bodies, "camino-ized", over 50 years old, high uniqueness, front mid, etc. should have gotten something impressive. On the old Jalop score, it hits nearly 500.

Maybe Oldsmobile is a really massive plus? Low points for unibody?

BOF and post-malaise era probably helped, along with defunct brand and not all body panels the same colour (the closest I can find to the original colour is Dark Garnet Red).

I got 11-20% with a Diesel hatchback. :<

A lot of the difficulty in making a good system for this is properly cross-tabbing everything across categories. Unibody is nothing special, unless it's a unibody truck over 50 years old. Then, it actually *is* a bit

It's the same with RWD: it should be worth more in mid-90s cars, probably. The scale also currently doesn't have weighting for weight class of the vehicle, or engine swaps/shenanigans. That's where my abomination really shines.

21%-30% with a 2003 Nissan Maxima. Woot woot.

I'd say a Brougham 305 Olds is pretty Jalop, but others are kinda wonky.

Automatic 97 volvo 850 glt got 21-30%

Previous car, 96 V8 Thunderbird, was the same.

My wife's 2010 Sonata got 6-10%

The Hyundai is more or less accurate.

It's also funny because a camino-ized RX-8 with a turbo kit only gets 61-70%

It's a 2004 Diesel Corolla E12. Just tried looking for a picture to give you an idea of the general shape and found this . I should do that, too.

Yup, those are available as diesel hatchbacks, alright!

The Phaeton got the same exact score.

Then something's wrong.

Hows that? my lincoln is essentially identical to your car based on the questions and we would of answered pretty much the exact same answers. and I got 6-10%.

EDIT: just realized your car brand doesn't exist anymore and that probably boosted your points.

I just made up a car with a rear-mounted, air cooled radial engine with 600 hp, made in France. With sliding doors. Got 100%.

Dead brand, not all panels are same colour (some weird olds-only colour vs. Dark Garnet Red). That's about it.

Yeah, that's probably it :)
