Vert dissed on Autoblog.

The latest episode of The List is about buying a used car. When they get to the used car lot, the guy shows them a teal DOHC vert, and the hosts quickly dismiss it without driving it. They show it with a flat tire, and make fun of the fact that the paint is faded and that Oldsmobile is dead. But they are interested in an old Toyota Tercel, so whatever. The screen capture that they use on the main post is of the vert. Don't watch the whole thing, just skip to the 5:00 mark. They only talk about the vert for a few seconds.

oh well, they're loss, our gain.

 

anybody that thinks a Tercel is anything but a box of fail is bound to not know of the awesomeness that is the W platform.

I like that kind of advertising, keeps the price down so we can sneak in for the kill! I'll bet a W-Body guy let the air out of the tire valve for a better deal on the car..."That 'ol smoothie" :P

Who wouldn't want that 'vert? Any self respecting W guy would!

 

Extinct brand. What does that have to do with anything?

 

That vert is nicer than the car they ended up buying.
