misbadging cars

Oh...I wouldn't have known, so the misbadging would have been lost on me.

No problem.

SUVs are kind of off my radar, so the misbadge didn't stand out to me or impress me either way.

Genuinely, I assume the non suspecting bought that used.

I agree it is tragic though.

My neighbour across the road has similar. E class diesel fully badged up as an E63 AMG, only single exhaust though.

Pretty much all manufacturers do this though - M sport, R line, R design, S line, AMG line, N line, GT etc etc.

There used to be a 520d up the road that was being slowly turned into an M5 lookalike and driven by the sort of bell-end you would expect to do that.

It got a clamp for non-payment of VED and was driving around without an MOT. Priorities. Spunk all your money on definitely not stolen M5 accoutrements, don't waste it on frivolities like MOT and Tax.

It is actually a Lancia, but marketed as a Chrysler in the UK as Lancia are still under the impression that Brits only remember them for rusty Beta and Gamma and not awesome Delta and Thema.

Could have made a good job of rebadging though, like actually bought the correct pieces from a Lancia dealer in Italy.

Oh, and get some new number plate bolts and how many cars has that faded Auto Italia sticker graced.

Sort it out!

On the windscreen:



A lot of wannabe Lancianess going on.
