Jalopnik Does March Madness With 80s/90s Beaters
Raphael Orlove of Jalopnik just released the car-nut equivalent of March Madness — a bracket style competition of 64 beaters, all competing for a shot at glory. Readers of the site will be able to vote on which car moves forward and is eventually crowned the winner, you can read the full article about the unfortunately named March Madness Beat-Off here.
It is an awesome list of 64 of the best 80s/90s beaters known to man…and regular cars featured on DT with a few exceptions. Feel free to put in your predictions for the final four in the comments below.

Final Four:
Alfa Spider
VW Jetta
Volvo 740
International Scout
Mazda MX-3
Honda Prelude
Merc W123
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Although there aren't enough Hondas on there. I'd rather see an EG Civic in place of the CRX. Better usability, similar weight and suspension, similar swap potential.
How can you not love The Great Beat Off?
4 > 924 – MX-3 – Roadmaster – Toyota Pickup
2 > 924 v Roadmaster
1 > Roadmaster FTW by a mile
It's an Alfa Romeo convertible. It is the only car on the entire thing guaranteed to get a chick every time.
The Alfa wins or the thing is rigged or being voted on by dummies.
