22. Subaru BRAT
The Subaru BRAT, which stands for Bi-Drive Recreational All-Terrain Transporter, was conceived in the early ’70s. In fact, Subaru designed it to take advantage of the popularity of compact trucks in America. However, there were steep import taxes for foreign trucks, which destroyed all of Subaru’s profits.
So the company thought of a genius way to sell the truck as a passenger car by installing two seats in the back. The BRAT was an inexpensive way to get an AWD light truck, but with four seats. This feature made it one of the strangest cars of the 1980s.
