6: Plymouth Prowler
In the mid-’90s, Chrysler was trying to reposition the Plymouth brand as a trendy and unique option for buyers. At the forefront of this move was the radically unique Prowler sports car. Designed to look like a hot rod, the roadster was and still is one of the most striking vehicles on the road. The problem was that the Prowler was built using a lot of parts out of the Chrysler corporate parts bin, which meant it wasn’t unique (via Road & Track).
The engine was the same one you’d find in your mother’s Dodge Intrepid and this left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers. So the Prowler and the Plymouth brand were quietly retired in 2001, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that the Prowler is one of the most beautiful cars ever released in Detroit.
