I drove an uncle's 1987 canadian 5000, hence my comments...
Electricals would make an Alfa look like the most reliable car
on earth... I dont think the 88 were called 5000 in canada, the
100 maybe? Still I wonder how much improved the seats
could have been... They were hard, reminded me of a jetta...
