I drive a Toyota Cavalier, which was built by Chevrolet to sell to the Japanese, who didn't buy them, so they all got exported to Australia and New Zealand.

It really is an odd car with questionable build quality and some baffling engineering decisions - the boot/trunk wouldn't open, which turned out to be due to the unlocking mechanism coming loose - but it was only connected to the lock by a single plastic clip, the kind you normally find securing upholstery.

Replacing it with a nut and bolt fixed that, but yeah.

"if"???
