How about the car that everybody asked for that only came with a devastatingly deal-breaking drivetrain?

It does have black plastic rockers and fender arches, plus some of the creases say X5, but the forward-mounted roof antenna, non-body-colored roof, less pronounced Hofmeister kink, and rounded corner at the bottom of the rear glass suggest that it's not an X5.

The car in question seems to have a rounded element at the bottom corner of the rear glass (look closely at the 2nd red box). The Hofmeister kink is also slightly less pronounced in the video.

BAM! BMW 5-series GT.

Parts are GM — low resale value means a win for us!

1st: As somebody else pointed out, Acura should really go back to a worded name convention. This CL-RL-TL stuff is just stupid, but the degree of letter doesn't even make sense. In Mercedes marques, S-class is above E-class, which is above C-class. Alphabetically it makes sense. Same way with BMW — the number series…

I smell another AOTD list full of cars manufactured in countries that are not exactly reputable for manufacturing cars.

The last one rolled off the assembly line a few months back. I couldn't believe they were selling those things even up until then, but otherwise I'd agree with you.

I like it. It may not be the best car, but for a starting price of $13,900, original styling, and some everyday practicality without being a bland CUV, this is hardly the worst car ever.

God this...most definitely.

The troll is hard with this one.

The roof is not body-colored, which rules out first-gen BMW SUVs (if not all). I'm going for a GM rental-grade product as well. The chrome garnish above the license plate supports that statement.

I'd probably do a lot better at this if I didn't have to watch a damn advertisement featuring Kirstie Alley with each replay. -_-

D'oh...you killed the joke :/

"for a short time back in 1990"

Wait wait wait...what's a ZJ?

I had a rental Focus last week while in California. It was the SEL (highest trim) model with a DCT. The car was absolutely amazing, and for the money, you can't get more features than in a Focus.

Engineering is on its way to India. My company already has a horde of what I call "guest engineers", who are not American citizens, and do more for far less, including their per diem and housing allowance.

I'm really glad you didn't say "should of". That shit is getting all too common.
