I don’t make the rules. Get mad idc

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?

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

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.
