It's an Opel/Vauxhall/Saturn Astra clone!

It so has to be the Crown

I actually teared up when I saw this, my father had a Crown Delux Saloon (not quite so plush as the Super) between 1974-76 that was the exact same color as this one. Those fender mounted rear vision mirrors actually had turn indicators in them. The mirrors were sort of louvered so that you could see the signals…

I thought mercury was something your teeth used to get filled iwth

Will be interesting to see if it actually sells

It's looks like what might happen if a Fiat 500 mated with an Opel Corsa

I saw a documentary about how they make Kimchi on a Korean Airlines flight once, it seemed to involve mixing it all together and then burying it for 6 months. Personally I wouldn't bother digging it up

Shame he resprayed it blue, my family had a green 504 TI exactly like that one except it had alloy wheels which the NZ market 504 came with

tough can be beautiful!

maybe they were stealing the money to buy a better car?

@west-coaster: LOL my god yes, anyway I looked up the IMCDb movie car datebase and discovered the Ranchero is something of a movie star with 91 movie appearances though no mention of The Birds or Goldfinger so clearly it's not even a complete list

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit

Didn't the Mitch Brenner in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds drive something similar to this, it would have been a earlier model as the film was made in 1963 but I'm sure I remember him driving a white Ranchero, now I'm going to have to waste a lot of time looking for a still, jez

That engine has to be a production prototype for a high-output Diesel that will end up in the TT and A4 as well as other VAG products

@teargas: you're right of course, if they could just keep the handling but improve the packaging without increasing in size, that'd be just great

Look I'm sure the MiTo will be a sweet little thing and all but exactly who are they trying to kid?

surely the Peugeot 4X4 is the definitive PCH car

who cares?

OMG it's yellow, it's a an SM, it's a yellow SM. I would do almost anything just to look under the hood

all it needs is a V8
