Damn Eugene Levy was good in this....Chicago car dealer/con man. Very good and underutilised actor. The "Truckster" was actually better looking after it had the front of it smashed off by the crash later in the movie.
As "far fetched" as this scene may seem, the American auto sales and manufacturing industry was not that far from this. Why do you think Asia did and still is kicking our butts in the auto industry. Which I find personally very rewarding because what 90% of what the American auto industry did in the past was purely criminal.
What I always hated about this scene was that car dealerships do not destroy trade-ins like a scrap yard. What a joke the whole thing is. Also, if you look at the background in this scene, they are at some office complex, not a car dealership.
This HAS to be the funniest "opening scene" to a movie of ALL time! I love Ed saying-"You know,I owe it to "myself" to tell you,Mr. Griswald...." Classic words for EVERYONE to use at their job when asked about ANYTHING urgent-"I don't know,sir"! (then turn and WALK AWAY!)
I would have sued the place for destroying the old car, as they had to know they didn't have what I ordered. Then they provide a rental for FREE so I can do my vacation and then I get what I paid for when it finally DOES show up. Bait and switch BS. Looks cute in a movie, but in reality it's a dick move.
@20alphabet Maybe in the United States. In Canada we have to be certified, licensed, know what we're talking about and are heavily regulated. Walk a mile in our shoes then make that comment.
@grandprix1963 Today, any teen would prefer walking over driving THAT... thing... to school. They'd probably drive it straight into a brick wall just to get outta being near it again.
To the dipshit under me..(snotra)..this is a hollywood made car based on a early 80's ford or buick..not a real one..american cars trash?..watch barret -jackson auctions in january ..see how the value of the trash is going for..you dont see any euro trash there..
Any dealwership that participates in the CARS program is basically doing the same thing. Preying on the lack of education and ignorance of the car buyer.
Yikes. Reminds me of the silly cash for clunkers stuff, except the fluid that is forced into the engine of the traded in car to seize it, then, they crush it. Its a shame. I love the clip though.
I would have tooking the bus home until they got the car I wanted. the trip would have been put off till 6 weeks. that ugly thing would have never never ever left that lot with me...no!
