Tata Safari is a SUV manufactured by the India based car maker Tata Motors. It was the first truly India made SUV, as the vehicle was designed, developed and manufactured in the country.

The first generation of Tata Safari was launched in Turbo Diesel form with 87 PS (64 kW) power. The car has undergone several modifications and has improved with times.

The first Fiat Doblo, which came in 2001 was ugly. After that in 2005 it received a facelift and became even uglier. But Despite the efforts made by several car manufacturers (read French and German carmakers) to give their vans an extra edge, the title of International Van of the Year 2011 went to the Fiat Doblo Cargo.

Basically, everything what worked in a Yugo worked as poorly and cheaply as possible. The car design is based on the mechanics of the Fiat 127, under licence from Fiat.

The Yugo Koral entered the United States by means of Malcolm Bricklin, who wanted to introduce a simple, low cost car to that market. Yugos, priced below $4,000 when first introduced, came to America as a great benefit to comedians.

Geo Metro was a small economy car based on the Suzuki Swift. It had the best fuel economy of any gasoline vehicle in the US, with 41 MPG.

The Ford Pinto, one of the best-selling cars of the 1970s, had a defective gas tank with an unfortunate tendency to burst into flames in rear-end collisions. Ford was fully aware of all these construction problems.

However, people didn't know that until Mother Jones magazine published a stolen copy of an infamous memo that was sent out to all senior management at the Ford Motor Company.

Ford continued to build and market the Pinto without modifications until news of the memo broke. It led to criminal charges, an avalanche of lawsuits, and a recall of all Pintos; the mess went on for years.

Although it was first manufactured by the Japanese automaker in 1970, the most important version of the Jimny was introduced in 1998 and is still in production this year.

Fiat 126p was originally designed as a 4-person car, with two types of engines: a 594 and 652 cm3. The car was produced in Tychy and Bielsko-Biala, in south of Poland, and for a short time in Italy.

After 28 years, the production of the Fiat 126p finally ended in 2000, with the last, limited yellow edition, dubbed "happy end". The last car went to the Fiat museum in Turin.

It was easy to repair, easy to live with. Everyone had a joke about the Trabant, but it was still the basic mean of transport. The epitome of socialism: bad, not capable of doing too many things, not too efficient but still manages to work somehow.

Volkswagen Bus was for years really a big, boxy body on a Beetle chassis. The Volkswagen Bus even used the Beetle's air-cooled horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, and mounted it in the tail, just like the Bug did. And much like the beloved Beetle, the Volkswagen Bus came to symbolize liberty and unconventionality for a whole generation of Americans.

The Peel P50 microcar comes from the Isle of Man off the English coast, it was manufactured by Peel engineering in the early 1960's.The diminutive P50 is 135 cm long by 99 cm wide and is powered by a 49 cc DKW fan cooled engine. The P50 has 3 forward gears and no reverse, to move the car backwards, the driver simply had to jump out of the car, pull it backwards using a handle attached to its rear. The Peel P50 fits the bill for those who want to travel cheap and with ease but need to grab all attention. With only around 20 p50 on roads today, the price of a Peel P50 has magnified parallely. What retailed for about 200 U.K pounds back then has now grown to about 55,000 $.
