I loved my little '73 Opel wagon! I could fit the Acoustic 360 just right in the back with the seat down. Flight case slid in next to the bottom. My dad liked it so much that he went and got one, but it was the Opel by Isuzu model. His wasn't quite what mine was.
Nice! I still have a thing for wagons. I've had a Peugeot 505 and more recently a Roadmaster Estate:
That thing was a beast, and sure could move (LT-1
)
My dad had a Manta way back when... always kinda liked those and the GTs.
My wife was in a hit and run last Oct, and her car was out of commission for a while. She ended up with a Buick Lacrosse rental for about a month. Some of the stuff they choose to automate just baffles me - like the engagement of the parking brake via a console switch instead of a mechanical lever (or pedal)... just more s4!t that'll end up breaking. Overall, though, it was a pretty nice car. My first impressions were good - but I have no idea how it would hold up over time.
I bet a lot of it is "global platform" - Open/Vauxhall, etc... Sure looks it.
