this brings back a lot of memories. my grandma had one of these when i was a kid, and she loved it. she’d never had a BMW before, and was devastated when the time came to trade it in. i can smell the diesel exhaust now! fun fact: Ford took that turbodiesel engine and offered it as an option in both the Lincoln Continental and the Lincoln Mark VII. they are VERY rare these days

I believe the term is 'planned obsolescence'! It's all about creating demand for new cars every 5 years or so, as your current car/appliance will begin to fail on cue when the it's preset death date comes into effect!

[@fullmetaljacket7]

@@masuphamolapo9560 planned obsolescence is a thing in the automotive world since the 1920's when GM started releasing new models every year. The thing is, cars are more complex now for a number of reasons. Safer, more powerful, more fuel efficient, lighter... That's the price we pay. It's just how it is. Also, at 2:55 you can clearly see why they put that one away to rot, with only 100k on the odometer. Planned obsolescence, you say?
