Models that Define Automakers
I was inspired by Tex
The rules are simple. Name an automaker and pick 1 vehicle that defines each brand. Curious to see what folks agree and disagree on
---
Ford - F-150
Tesla - Model S
Porsche - 911
Mercedes-Benz - S-Class
BMW - 3-Series
Jeep - Wrangler
Honda - Civic
What's the "bread and butter" seller for MB? C-Class and GLC? No one would say those models define MB--the S-Class does. Porsche sells way more Cayennes and Macans than 911s. Would you say the Cayenne "defines" Porsche? Or the 911 or even the Cayman? I would argue that the iconic 911 is what "defines" Porsche.

The 5000 was also quite poorly built. It was a long time ago, but I still remember the test-drive....rattles/squeaks and loose-fitting parts up the kazoo.
Hyundai Pony

The Civic, in the early-mid 1970s, with its carburated CVCC engine that ran like crap but met 1975 emissions without a catalyst, first got the American public interested in Honda. But it was the larger, more comfortable, and more useful Accord that got Americans to flood to Honda showrooms and buy the brand in force....yes, for big dealer markups because of the Japanese import-quotas. The Accord-cult lasted for decades, but, today, has been greatly overshadowed by the Tesla Model 3.
