It wouldn't play for me. My sister had a Granada. What a piece of crap that was. It rusted out completely in sort order. One of the doors actually fell off, I think.

A friend of mine got himself pulled over in a malfunctioning Granada by an officer who profiled him as a mule. The car was couldn't go much faster than 55 and all the odd clattering and groaning noises issuing from it made him a very slow and nervous driver - which matched the typical suspect to a "T"

After watching a few of those ads I now realize why some people actually thought the 240D was a great car back in the late 70's.

What I would give to take my 123 up on one of those countless heavy embankment test tracks used in every German automotive promotional video.

The proof is in the putting - I see more 78 MB's on the road than 78 Granada's
