May 14, 2010 - @joh2 any idea on where the Singer Vouges were built as my dad has 1, would b kl to know
JohnnyBoi93xD Says:
May 14, 2010 - @TheChipmunkTwins Cute? here in the UK in the 70's, that was a bad ass car, Plymouth Cricket in US, Hilman Avenger Tiger in Uk, prefer the Hunter and Vouge sedan styling, looklike a cooler Mk2 Cortina
joh2 Says:
May 14, 2010 - @JohnnyBoi93xD The Singer Vogue, being a rebadged Hillman Super Minx (early) and Hillman Hunter (later models) was built in the same factory, at Ryton-on-Dunsmore near Coventry UK.

May 15, 2010 - @JohnnyBoi93xD : Yeah! I think it's adorable, and it may have been bad ass back in the day, whatever, here I'm in Canada and it's 2010. I think it's cute. Sorry if that offends you. It's kinda hard to believe that a car called Cricket, after the little hoppity bug, couldda been bad ass.
JohnnyBoi93xD Says:
May 16, 2010 - @daigle46 us/ canadia gave it a gay name LOL it suited Tiger more
JohnnyBoi93xD Says:

May 16, 2010 - Yhey put the decimal in the wrong place it should be $19.15
SeekerKC Says:
May 25, 2010 - Oh man...my mom JUST told me she bought one of these! I can see why...kinda cute (for the day) & VERY affordable. She also said she's never considered buying Chrysler since as the Cricket 1) body wasn't even as strong as it's namesake's shell, & 2) she would've felt safer in strung-together tuna cans.

Jun 1, 2010 - LOL!! they call it a sub compact!! this was a medium size car in the UK- although if the US got the same engines we had, I reckon the cricket would be a bit out of its depth with the sort of distances over there. some nice looking old detroit dinosaurs there too. make mine a monaco or fury
ayremaster5000 Says:
Jun 1, 2010 - @barrybas yes, correct
MattTheSaiyan Says:
Jun 15, 2010 - Cutest car I've seen on YouTube for some time.

Jul 2, 2010 - Those cars had Lucas ignition systems not dependable unless you wanted to break down on a dark road late at night with your best girl by your side. With a full moon and you hold her close and begin to tell that your not like other guys. And she says she knows as you begin to mutate into a wolf creature wih a long snout. As you rip her poodle skirt with your long claws you can thank Cricket.

Jul 12, 2010 - It looks an awful lot like a toyota of that era.. chrysler built my ass
thatmuse76 Says:
Jul 15, 2010 - I know it is based on a Hillman, but it looks an awful lot like a Morris Marina.
UNLIMITEDMACKEY Says:
Jul 26, 2010 - but does it come with a HEMI ?
soco13466 Says:
Aug 1, 2010 - That car wasn't built by Chrysler! It was one of the first of the Japanese cars with an American nameplate. And it was a true POS.
soco13466 Says:
Aug 1, 2010 - @ayremaster5000 I've Google Earthed England. The old Detroit Iron wouldn't fit on many of the country roads there. My first car, a '67 Pontiac Catalina, was so big, it practically required a tugboat to get it out of harbor. But it was fast. 400CUI, that car didn't ask questions; it went like a bat outta hell. My second car was a '72 Camaro, 350 CUI.

Aug 7, 2010 - Lil' Cricket, comin' through and left as fast as it came in. LOL
Napalmdog Says:
Aug 8, 2010 - @soco13466 Strange; I had a friend that had one and he THRASHED that thing and had no problems...
soco13466 Says:
Aug 8, 2010 - @danosly Poodle skirt? That was in the 50's, I think. This car was in the 70's. Don't mix Elvis with Pink Floyd, eh?
joh2 Says:
Feb 5, 2010 - I get the idea it was a styling gimmick! I encountered a 1974 Ford Capri II with a similar treatment (tan paint, with an yellow/orange vinyl roof), however the half-vinyl approach was done in a elliptical curve on the roof!
