I find the Ford Fusion to be attractive. It looks like an Aston Martin. I've read .275 for that one. Prius verges on unattractive. I don't really remember any GM vehicle, so that probably means it's neither attractive or unattractive.

Like I said, I'm not part of the video game generation but according to Wikipedia there're 20 demoliton derby video games. All I know is the pool of neat old cars is smaller. Except the 1964-66 Imperial:
A demolition derby with modern cars wouldn't be too exciting because they'd all die on the first hit. I drove an '85 Volvo that probably would have held up reasonably well. We've got that Buick Riviera that would probably dominate.

One of my favorite games at Wonderland arcade as a kid was demolition derby. I downloaded the rom so I can play on a PC, but I haven't been a gamer in about 5 years or so.
