Matt,

"Gramps' Junkyard":

As for the *** Value rating, I presume that is based on MSRP.

So which is worse - MB or BMW software engineering?

Jettachero be damned, I'm waiting for shots of the Rangetta...now that would be hellish indeed!

I hope the next billion dollars they spend in the US is to revamp dealer service, which is the worst.

When are we getting the Jalopnik weekend edition?

'90s electronica music? That is the vision of 2028? Save us all...

Was that at Hennesey's, getting ready with the Prowlers for export?

I did not know they regulated displays of hoonage on tv, I had always thought they just mandated malaise and so the cars were incapbable of hoonage!

@UDMan:

While it might be a shooting brake in poorly translated Japanese, with those two long rear side windows those of us in the States would be likely to call it a hearse.

Hey, lets look around in the background for a moment! Where are we?

@graverobber- Two BEER minimum:

Before we get carried away on the bling here Ben, we need to get the Jalopnik Platform Management Relational Database (JPMRD) corrected:

If this thing takes off maybe Daimler Benz will finally get smart and allow a diesel C class to be sold in the US - they would go like hotcakes.

I've seen this car before...but I don't understand why they are giving up on the Chevette name.

Yes, we really really need those amenities, and no one wants a diesel, so Chrysler ain't going there.

Pontiac is (supposed to be) excitement, so scrap Saturn and move the groovy Opel europroducts over to the Pontiac line - that would really shore it up.

It also works backward - If you want to take a flyer and trade in your Civic for the MB ML500 your neighbor is dumping for 20% on the dollar, just put in the numbers and see how how much more a month it will cost in fuel.
