The Chevy Aveo. But is it pronounced AH-vee-oh or uh-VAY-oh? I don't remember if Rich ever got the right pronunciation.

(I'm being sarcastic)

I distinctly recall seeing a Ford Aspire (so named because it was aspiring to be a car) given away on TPIR in the mid-1990s.

The Suzuki Samurai.  You'll flip over it!

As it turns out, the US division of Suzuki has just filed for Chapter 11, and will stop selling new cars.

I have to imagine the Geo Prizm
Honestly I think it was the Metro far more often.

(I loved my little POS Metro.)

and the Toyota Takeoff were both offered at some point.
Huh?
From what I remember, the Geo Prism and Toyota Corolla were built on the same platform. IIRC, those were the "sister cars" Consumer Reports always put together. The Geo Metro's twin was the Suzuki Swift.

My mom had a Metro when I was in elementary school...a lot of fun memories in that car. :-)

You know how to double the value of a Geo Metro, right?

Fill it with gas.

I liked the Chevy "Camero" once offered in the bonus round of 'Classic Concentration'...

The Prizm is a rebadging, yes.

I've been more of an AMC Eagle person, myself.

"I think I'd rather just play again, Alex."
Didn't this actually happen?
I think he's referring to this.

I don't know what's worse- the Tiller bad quality or some of the douchey responses by the viewers. I hope someone ridicules him every day for that, one said? Shame.

Herein lies the problem. You give Tiller constructive criticism and he blocks you. Yet people act like total asshats in his comments section and that's okay.
