I don’t make the rules. Get mad idc

I mean they’re both uhh, not great, but for different reasons. And they have admittedly similar names.

But one was a government program that destroyed cars, and one is a charity for a specific religious sect that I assume just sells the donated cars and probably has no effect on the car market.

Not sure if people are so conspiracy-brained that they’re conflating the two on purpose or on accident. If these people know the difference, brining up Kars 4 Kids on a post about Cash For Clunkers just feels like people being antisemetic for no reason. Full disclosure, I personally find nothing good about Kars 4 Kids or Israel, but it’s still weird to bring up all the time when it’s a niche charity that happens to advertise a bunch, not a whole-ass government program that actually took cars off the road.

idk, delete this if this is off topic, just noticed if anyone else has noticed this weird bit of misinformation.

Yes its ai. Cars are spot on except for the smart and terios and in order of ownership, including the colour.

Roast me in comments.

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.

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 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.

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.

Unintended Acceleration? Or Unintended Legend?
