The Glas Isar is interesting; it was originally thought of as a bigger, more upmarket Goggomobil, but then was rebranded the Glas Isar, which for some reason the company thought would sound weird in some non-Germanic markets, so they also sold is as the “Isard,” which they somehow thought was better? It’s got a little air-cooled 700cc flat-twin under the hood, too. Charming little guy. And the guy in the black suit absolutely has a boner. He’s not even trying to hide it. Get me Don Draper, stat! any money spent on an rx-8 is already too much money. If it’s going to need a rebuild in 60k miles, it really ain’t worth it. Like when you see 20-30 somethings fawning over a Korean shitbox Buick the way these people are reacting to this rather plain car, or when every 2nd commercial on TV features and interracial couple obsessed with their dog that has absolutely nothing to do with the product or service actually being advertised. I guess that was something to get excited about behind the Iron Curtain.
