Saw this in the Best Buy parking lot today:




With Manufacturer plates. In mid-Michigan. Who is importing Citroens?

Please GM, please at least bring this to Canada.

But then why is there a Citroen driving around at all?

GM wants to build a car that people want to buy but with even worst build quality then the French. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Described as "New return line" on Facebook, but this looks like shoddy work to me. I don't know a ton about the car, but its some sort of built up turbo Civic. Seems like this will be in the mechanical failures thread soon enough.

It looks like a couple of pieces of swage and a piece of tygon tubing. All of which more then likely cost more then the real parts would have.

 The problem with idiot lights is they turn on for idiotic reasons, "You didn't tighten you gas cap enough, time to turn on" is not a reason to throw codes.

That car also had air vents that moved back and forth. Its best feature.

This may in fact be my single favorite feature in any car in history. I remember having it in a 626 we had as a loaner once and it was awesome. Why don't more cars do this

Did the owner go to prison after he caught her?

Ok.



Someone posted this tumblr in this thread a few months back and it's fascinating to watch how people get worse and worse at parking in that lot over time.

This is what a parking lot in Canada looks like in the winter, but at least we have the excuse of not being able to see the parking lot in the snow.
