The Reliant was a massively unsuccessful car designed and developed by the American car manufacturer Chrysler in the 1980's, in response to a growing demand in United States for cars that looked and performed above and beyond the standards set by the crap they had been shoveling out for years. The Chrysler Reliant is also a precursor for the Auto Box Revolution of 1991. Other copy-cars are the Chevrolet Astro, Scion xB, and the Toyota "What the Fuck" F(ucked-up)J(eep) Cruiser.
