I knew the best selling car one because I pass a billboard on my drive home that says what it is

20/20 No cheating. I was lucky, though. I guessed on a couple of the tag lines.

Great post!
Got 19outta 20. Missed the last one about Corolla being the top seller. I thought a Toyota but went with Accord.

BTW that Lexus slogan was tough too, lol.

19 out of 20, chose the VW bug because it is the most selling model to have not undergone a redesign.

Funny, though, how even the company itself got tired of its logo. They never used it at all on the Aurora, one of the last full-size Olds products....they didn't even want to display the company badge. The exterior only had the name "Aurora" on it.

Actually,, gonna have to disagree with you a small bit here. While it is true the they did omit the OLDSMOBILE badging from the rear end of the first gen (95-2K), the signature "rocket" logo was present on the front of the car only. The second gen (2k1 and above) saw a return of the OLDSMOBILE badging coupled with the signature "rocket" logo. The name AURORA was also relocated. See pics,,

First gen,,



Second gen,,
