Pretty simple I think.  Take a mid 80s V12 XJ-S, but add the suspension and hydraulic system from a Citroen XM.  There you go.  Utter maintenance hell.

Sounds like a weapon. Many  faults, tho...

So would I!  I would also endlessly curse the name of everyone who designed and built it.

Which happened basically every time I did anything to my XJ-S aside from drive it.  The absolute definition of a car assembled by committee.

The Peugeot 407 was obviously designed by such a person. DPF that spits its dummy out at the same point on every journey, wishbone front suspension made from poppadoms, staggered pedals meant for someone with a left leg 2 inches shorter than their right leg.

I think with their current range that VAG are already about 99.5% of the way to that eventuality anyway...
