E80 Corolla.

God it’s so weird to see Tiff and Jezza in the same car sitting next to eachother, even if they spent like 10 years as co-presenters together.

And the Canadian market HC was so poorly made, that it prompted then Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau, to create a framework for class-action lawsuits.

Smearing “uneducated rubes” who live outside of Toronto all while denying that you have a superiority complex is peak Toronto.

First Rootes, then Vauxhall, now JLR. Someone tell PSA that you aren’t only allowed to buy British brands.

I’ve never seen a Stelvio or Giulia. Ever. I’ve seen a 4C, and that’s all the modern Alfas I’ve ever seen. I live in a city of 1.3 million people and we don’t have an Alfa dealership with the nearest being 300km (186 miles) away.

GM had so little faith in the Cascada that they didn’t even sell it in Canada. Probably also doesn’t help that nobody in Canada buys convertibles apart from boomers in southwestern British Columbia.

AMC sold quite a few cars in right hand drive, both in the UK and in markets like Australia (under the Rambler name). Even the Pacer made it abroad.

The current gen Crafter is no longer a rebadged Sprinter, it’s built on a unique VW platform now.

0/10 French translation doesn’t have nearly enough tabarnak.

Amazon Basics needs to take a page out of No Name’s book and just go full minimalist. Don’t even bother with the pictures on the packaging like No Name, that’s what product descriptions are for.

Michael Scott’s Russian cousin will be thrilled to learn this news.

The last two seasons of Top Gear Australia (with the people who were in the Ashes episodes of both Top Gear iterations) are severely underrated. Especially if you’re a fan of Australian cars. Same with season 3+ of Top Gear USA (NOT Top Gear America). And old old Top Gear (the 1977-2001 version), though I’d go with

I know this has become a common criticism for anonymous-looking cars, almost to the point where it’s become a cliché, but the Borrego genuinely looks like something that could be in a GTA clone. Not even worthy of GTA itself, maybe a Ubisoft game like Watch_Dogs or something. Or Saints Row.
