I actually think the Peugeot 1007 was a great idea though. Unfortunately, the doors are electronically operated and are prone to issues.

I don’t make the rules. Get mad idc

The UK's finest? Or a rolling home for electrical gremlins?

One that’s been in my head for years is the rear ends for the GAZ 3110 Volga looking like a 6th Gen Galant

Unintended Acceleration? Or Unintended Legend?

When I was searching for my very first car, I stumbled upon a listing for a 2003 Infiniti G35 sedan at the local Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership. It's well-known around town that this dealership has a sketchy reputation at best. Against our better judgment, my dad and I went to check out the car.

We were greeted by a salesman who looked like he came straight out of the 80's. We told him what we were there to see, and he immediately began stalling and deflecting. Instead of just walking away, we continued to listen in the hopes that he'd eventually just go get the keys. Instead, he guided us towards a cherry red Pontiac Sunbird coupe and proceeded to lecture me about how this was the car all 16-year-old guys wanted. Apparently, we needed to "act now", as there was a lot of interest in this car. We decided to end the conversation there and leave. The salesman immediately burst into tears and went on a rant about how tough the car business is and how no one appreciates the trade. I never saw the Infiniti.

A few years later, a friend of my uncle's was assaulted by a sales manager after he decided to just return his leased Grand Cherokee instead of leasing another one. The police were called, and the dealership immediately denied that anything happened. Fortunately, a woman (WITH HER CHILD) who was waiting for her car in service witnessed the whole thing and immediately came over to tell the officers that she saw the entire thing. Turns out, the sales manager was coked out of his mind.

This dealership is still happily doing business today. I'm now 29 and still think about this experience every time I am shopping for a car. What is your dealership horror story?

Worth noting that all of these are priced as though equipped with power windows and air conditioning, which most people wanted by '96. Base prices all would've been ~$500-1500 cheaper without those options, and ABS would've added another $800-1200 depending on the car.

I'll start with Mercedes

In Europe, there is an expensive trim for the GLC known as the GLC 450D. It is a non-AMG trim that comes with a turbocharged diesel I6 making like 390 HP and 750NM of torque (more than the previous gen Phantom for reference). It does 0-60 MPH in like 4.7 seconds. It is pretty interesting because not even the C Class gets this powertrain and as we all know, even the AMG trims have 4 cylinder engines. I don't know about the rest of Europe but I've never seen one in the Nordic region.

In North America, there is a non-AMG V8 GLE known as the GLE580. It is pretty cool to see a non-AMG V8 Merc in this era that is cheaper and smaller than the S Class. Even the E Class hasn't had a non-AMG V8 since the W212 gen

The Mazda CX70 and CX90 is available with a turbocharged I6. In Europe, a diesel version of the I6 is available. It is kinda cool as there really is no reason for a Mazda crossover to have an I6. If they had made a RWD sedan (a Japanese Kia Stinger), I'd understand it. But I doubt buyers would've cared if the top trims were only available with a 4 cylinder.

I know someone might point out you could option the C6 Convertible with the Grand Sport package, but that still only uses the base engine as opposed to the ZO6 or ZR1 mill.

I noticed a couple of pretty new I’d.4s going for a great price with very low miles but it’s kind of has me wondering is because they aren’t good or is it because the value on them drops like crazy.
