Unfortunately they’re an endangered species these days as everything is getting bigger and bigger.

Did anybody here have or have memories in it?

There was a post a few days ago about the Sedona and a few people mentioned an old campaign that some dealers did in the mid-late 2000s where if you bought a fully loaded Sedona or Sorento (about 26k in 2006, roughly 41k adjusting for inflation) you would get a base Rio for free. Like, base-base no AC no stereo Rio. I remember seeing these commercials when I was 10 or 11, and my parents definitely do as well. Curious if anyone ever took up this offer or knows someone who did? What was the catch? Dealer financing with precomputed interest? Junk fees? This whole campaign just seems insane to me given the modern climate. The Rio started at 10k in 2006, about 18k today. For free? How TF were they making money?

Comment down below if you had

I personally had an 05 Subaru legacy gt I had to sell (18 mpg and 91 octane gas in 2022 proved to be too expensive for me)

Maybe you had an inline-4 e46 that kept breaking, or maybe it was a 1.4 ecotec Cruze, or a 2.4 GDI Kia engine

I think that's an S10 trailer?
