Family Car Featured in Jalopnik Goes Car Hunting

The Peugeot 505 STI that my parents picked up and used in Europe ... now belongs to my sister in LA... and is featured in an article where Jalopnik.com goes car-hunting in LA

Staying with France (for the moment), above is a Peugeot 505 STI. We
like this car for a number of reasons other than its country of origin.
First of all, this car is someone's daily driver. That's 20 cool-car
points alone. Second of all, for a car released in 1978 it looks
incredibly modern. Only the massive bumpers, tacked on for the US
market give it away as being designed while Jimmy Carter was in office.
Also, it very well might be a diesel. That's another 20 cool-car
points. As far as we could tell, all it needs is a new sunroof.
