Subaru Justy.

Classic Concentration once had the Yugo GV up on the big board.
-
The Suzuki Samurai. You'll flip over it!
-
Without a doubt, the Chevy Cracker.
-
Daihatsu Charade or Eagle Premier. I really did like the latter growing up.
I must say, the first time I saw my car (Honda Accord) offered on TPiR, it warmed my heart. What can I say? It's a good car. :-)

Didn't this actually happen?

Ah, yes, the luxurious Rolls Over.

I think he's referring to this (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUOwfLy40P4#t=0m50s").

The Tesla Roadster offered up a couple years ago on an Earth Day edition of The Price is Right- there is a Tesla dealership near where I work and I've fallen in love with their cars since I saw that episode.

I have to imagine the Geo Prizm and the Toyota Takeoff were both offered at some point.

Honestly I think it was the Metro far more often.
(I loved my little POS Metro.)

Huh?

Chevrolet Vega, a better way to see the USA!
-
That little Opel with those shiny disks in the background they gave away on Gambit.
-
A 2-door Speck.
-
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 (http://"http://money.cnn.com/2012/11/05/autos/american-suzuki-bankruptcy/"), and will stop selling new cars.

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. :-)
/My grandfather still has his 1994 Samurai...another fun little ride
//Bonus points to Aaron for the Speck reference
-
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.

So, was she a contortionist or a little person?

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

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.

Herp Derp can fix the commenters. You cannot fix a tenth-generation dub.

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.

Not the car itself, per se, but I always chuckled when during the car plug one game show (Baffle, I think) would show a toy car on a turntable. I favorite car-winning moment occurred on The New Treasure Hunt when a woman fainted when she won a Rolls Royce.

I know Gambit did, but I think a couple Heatter-Quigley shows might've done that. HSq did an art card, though...

True, and before the Geo nameplate it was the last incarnation (pun not intended) of the Chevy Nova. Which led my friend to call his the "Cheyota Novolla."
The Geo Storm was made by Isuzu. (Would I lie to you?) It was a less equipped version of the Isuzu Impulse, but I liked my Storm a lot. I figure everyone is allowed one impractical car per lifetime, and that was mine.
I think the Cullen TPIR had some interesting cars up for bids, but I don't recall any of them at the moment.

Its the car that goes anywhere--even when you don't want to.

My research turned up no car by that name.
