Not sure how weird it was but does anybody else remember the Corsa with a built in bike rack in the bumper? Kind of weird but also quite clever I thought.

My E34 M5 had fog light washers. Think they were standard though, not optional

We have done this before: but the business man’s Alfa, with built in and removable briefcase was always a good one !
That had the first electric spoiler on a car too, albeit on the front. Shortly before the Thema 8.32, Corrado and 964 I thinkMr Tidy said:

If I had the windscreen wipers on in my 1985 Ford Scorpio and I put it in reverse the rear wiper would turn itself on. I still haven't had another car with as many gadgets.

My old MG ZS180 used to do that (I imagine 1990's Civics of the same shape whould do the same). If I had the windscreen wipers on in my 1985 Ford Scorpio and I put it in reverse the rear wiper would turn itself on. I still haven't had another car with as many gadgets.
Probably the only advanced thing in that car

I’ve had it on a few cars, including my current Mk1 XC90, but I recall it being part of a magazine advert for the Rover 800 Fastback in the 80s tooIf I had the windscreen wipers on in my 1985 Ford Scorpio and I put it in reverse the rear wiper would turn itself on.

Mazda do heated element strips under the windscreen wipers. Not heated windscreens, just the bit under the wipers and at the sides of the windscreen where the final wipe is.
Seems obscure and pointless…. Mazda like to do things differently as they say.
