Well at least they got two of the cars on the list correct, the Ford Pinto, and the Chevy Chevette.

An ignorant millennial ***-wipe obviously wrote the article.

You guys are reacting to a clickbait blogging hack?
Please...
Please...
Still... I had to look... and yes, the author is a moron and unknowledgeable... simplistic and silly references that must have taken 2 minutes to google and misinterpret. Outrage is the point...

I'm reacting to the mouth breather that wrote it.

I googled the author. Nothing. Zip. Nada. The article means nothing.

Chrysler went all-in on the Prowler in the mid-1990s and stuck its standard 3.5 liter V6 engine under the bonnet. Unfortunately, this engine was only capable of producing a lackluster 250 horsepower, which disappointed people who expected so much more from the car. The Prowler also lacked a manual transmission, which made it almost impossible to lay down hot rubber. The result was a car that looked weird and disappointed everyone who test drove it????
This is one of the coolest modern day cars ever built! the price tag killed it....

Had they put the Hemi V8 in it they would still be selling them no matter what the cost.Chrysler went all-in on the Prowler in the mid-1990s and stuck its standard 3.5 liter V6 engine under the bonnet.

So the Imperial was bad because it was big? What a crock of ****!
Soooo because a car is "big" it should be considered a terrible car???

I can tell the author of this article never had the chance to drive one of these. My father had a 1969 and I was in a bad wreck in it. THAT CAR SAVED MY LIFE.

The author wasn't probably not even Born back then. No I didn't even take a look at it, had enough uprage today after crashing my old Bimmer in a Freak one car accident that was completely my fault. Off to my collission work for the next couple of days. Just saying so Stan can pay me back for making fun of his wheellip accident in the past. 
The truth of the Prowler as I know it... The original plan was to pop the LH platform 3.5 in there straight off the line "as built" for the LH... somewhere between styling and function the engineers got stuck with a car that had a MUCH bigger tire profile, which destroyed the final drive ratio.Chrysler went all-in on the Prowler in the mid-1990s and stuck its standard 3.5 liter V6 engine under the bonnet.

Chrysler had done quite well getting publicity from the Viper a few years before and supposedly had plans for the Copperhead to be produced after the Prowler. IIRC the first car was delivered 9 months late while they reengineered the gear ratios and transmission tunning... There were various other issues as well, but a cast aluminum frame that could not be straightened was a big negative in my eyes.
My knowledge is second hand on this model, I was at the local training center when the first one arrived and was back there pretty regularly back then... I had a lot of conversations with trainers and techs at the time. I never worked on any.
Ask any mid 90's 3.5 LH owner about their car's power. The Prowler should have been way better being light weight... they were a mess with all the negative press and disappointing performance if you knew the product line of the time.
I would have liked to see the Copperhead concept happen.

Unbeknownst to the members here, I had a second wheel lip incident recently (same location, btw) that I chose not to share out of sheer embarrassment.
I'm running out of sources for good wheel lip moldings.
I should have gone the 9' door instead of the 8.
