"Clunker, Guzzler, Rust Bucket – these aren't just nicknames for Homer, these are the search terms the Simpsons are using to hunt for a new car. And by new we mean new to them. With Homer's credit, he can't even afford a brand new car air freshener - he has to settle for luxury pre-owned scent. From monster trucks to self-driving smart cars, the Simpsons are hitting the road!"
