If the government built a car, what would it be?

Serious or funny replies only.

One whose engine was a big, inefficient Daddy's boy who burns oil like there's no tomorrow.

That about covers it.

A big gas guzzling Humvee so the oil industry can rack-up more huge profits. Who cares about oil conservation when money can be made by reduced inventories.

Each passenger would be in their own sensory deprivation chamber with their own steering wheel, so nobody knew what direction the other passengers were trying to turn in. One passenger would have the transmission control, another the brake and another the gas pedal. It would only have reverse gear. The brakes would engage at any time for no good reason. It would cost six times as much as MSRP, but you wouldn't find that out until you'd driven it for a few years.

The UK version of the Governmentmobile would have to be something like the Reliant Robin:

The government would never build a car, but would tell me that I had the right to build any car I wanted.

Every year on April 15 they would insist that I remove 1/4 of any accessories that I bought

They would keep some of the accessories, and give the rest away to other people who could not afford accessories for their own cars.
