Some of the scrapped cars in 2009. Interesting read...

Some of the list is hilarious though like the 'Yoyotas' that got scrapped and the Volkswagen Astras

People are idiots. I bet all those ace cars got chopped in for some new euro-shitboxes too..

Sounds like I was right not to look at those links...

In a similar vein, I have a friend who just chopped in one of these;

for one of these;

TBH I had one of those Saabs, the scuttle shake is appaling as is the steering. Though being a turbo, it pulled well.
