It must be some kind of Mandela Effect, but I swear the first time - and only the first time - I saw that movie there were broken hunks of red fiberglass surrounding what was obviously a VW Beetle pan when the Ferrari (or I guess “Ferrari”)was in the ravine.

One arcane VW fact deserves another - those styled steelies are called Lemmerz GT wheels, Lemmerz being the supplier.

Dodge Caliber Syndrome, the concept was solid but completely undermined by terrible execution.

So, not so much a “holiday” as an “opportunity to get people to sign up for their completely unnecessary app”.  

Will there be a “limit one per customer” rule for the hybrid while supply chains are an issue or will they all disappear into the Orkin or Xfinity fleets?

“Cruise Control Plus”

For that matter it’s an air extractor vent that needs to be painted body-color. A case of clean, minimalist German design taken a step too far.

I’ve said it before, I’m saying it again. These 3rd-row seats are for other people’s children. Not necessarily literally, but for carpooling or when your kids want to bring friends along.

Same reason why it deserves the “worst car ever” award instead of something like, say, the Trabant. The SC430 had all the ingredients to be a great car, Toyota had the resources to make it so, but they settled for meh.

I’ve thought myself that what’s needed is to secretly dose the vaccine into cigarettes. What better vector to reach the most oppositional-defiant, knee-jerk anti intellectual parts  of society than something “They” have been telling you not to do for literally 50 years?

I don’t know about worse, but silver instead of black wheels and using an actual photo rather than a digital render would go a long way to improve it.

Daimler also had issues with the fact that in the 1890s they had profligately licensed not only their patents but also their name so that by the turn of the century there was not only the German (“Cannstatt-”)Daimler, there was an Austro-Daimler and a British Daimler, and those are just the ones that lasted long…

And she drives a Corvair!

Agreed on both counts, that full-size truck hybrid system should’ve gone into the Express van and cube-van chassis. Hybridization would’’ve saved multi-stop city delivery fleet operators real money just as it did with taxis.

It was a short-lived nameplate, for ‘85 which was the first year of the N-body (and two-door only) it was the Somerset Regal, for ‘86 the “Regal” part was dropped but the new four-door took over the Skylark name from the X body, and starting in ‘87 they were all Skylarks.  

I love how the C5 managed to combine the worst drawbacks of an e-bike and a mobility scooter with the advantages of neither.

I do know that the last car *not* to follow this convention was the 1985 full-size Chevrolet which held to the 1930s/50s standard that each “series” (trim level), in this case Caprice and Impala, was its’ own thing and they were collectively “The Chevrolet” as a line (all other Chevys were line extensions, for a while…

The only thing I can think of is that a real dog would shed in the paint booths and chip fab. 

ST was manual-only, if you find one with a DCT it’s a base model with a bodykit.
