They are the cockroach of the car world; I guarantee if you make an effort to keep an eye out for them, you'll see more than 3 every time you go out for a drive. Almost all of them tend to be on 52 plates as well for some unknown reason.

I saw a new Nissan Pulsar the other day which took me aback, didn't realise they had revisited that brand. No gtir though
just shopping trolleys, what a waste of an opportunity. Could have even brought in a short 0-60 electric car under that name and would have sold.https://www.nissan.co.uk/vehicles/new-vehicles/pul...

I was at a big Opel meet recently and looked at some model cars in a trade stand, one caught my attention.
It looked like an Opel Rekord "C" (Mk.3 for you, although I doubt that was ever sold in UK) station wagon
with a Chevy Nova-esque front grafted on, and Manta Mk1 rear lights attached.
Upon asking the vendor who had customized that model, he told me it was existing in real life,
being manufactured and sold by Opel Espana.
I stupidly forgot to buy that model and after some long internet search, I ended up in Brazil,
where this "GM Opala" was sold from the late 60s to the mid 90s as the biggest Brazil-built car,
running 4cyl and 6cyl engines up to 4,1l

The coupé was a looker, too, and is still tearing up quarter miles or being restored or customized

Not a car, as such, but...
I came across this monstrosity outside my flat yesterday...
Mercedes badges but E39 headlamps. What the hell is it?
It will probably be built on a Mercedes chassis but, as making your own lights is very costly, buying in an already certified third party light is much cheaper. I came across this monstrosity outside my flat yesterday...

I guess they preferred the 'styling' of them to the ones they could have bought from Mercedes?

They even showed a Nismo version with 275bhp a few years ago then it never happened as far as I know.

I predict that they'll sell about 7 of them. New UK Toyota Camry.
