Not that it matters to me, but the 2009 Kia Borrego was only produced for one model year.

Can anybody think of another vehicle that was only produced for one model year? I'm sure there are some out there...:thinker: I can't think of any though...

that's a hell of a marketing flop. All that design and r&d for only ONE year of production?

I like to think of ours as "special edition" though, makes it less sad. ;)

1997 Camaro SS with the LT4 Corvette Grandsport engine. Not to be confused with the LT1 engine. Only 106 made I believe. I think 6 for Canada, 99 for the USA and I thought 1 went to the Middle East. All white with the 35th orange anniversary stripes, hardtop with only the level III suspension, and 6speed only

30th not 35th duh.

It's not like they did all that much R & D for our cars. Slap in some new apholstery, some interior pieces, some existing cop car suspension parts, change the color of some exterior trim parts, and an existing motor from another vehicle, and "Blingo", Crown Vic becomes Marauder.

I sure like that little red/white/blue Ford badge; reminds me of the olden days. That is a pretty nice car.


On a separate note, check out that guys fan-damn-tastic car collection!!! He has some of the nicest big American iron I have ever seen!

As I think on it a bit more, wasn't there a performance version of the Ford Futura offered in the late 70's - early 80's with a 302 option? Never took off, maybe only produced for one year?

Roush F-150 Nightmare? First offered in 2007, don't know if they're still produced.
