Well. Nobody loves futuristic cars more than I do, but ... really? Now I've seen everything. It is unclear whether this is a complete joke/spoof or if someone who never saw a real Packard came up with this at a frat-party kegger.

I'm watching my YouTube feed and this thingie pops up with an awful robotic AI narration. All filled with mis-pronunciations The robot spiel was obviously written by a guy wearing a plaid sports coat, with mirror sunglasses and smoking a cigar!

The video claims to be displaying "the 2025 Packard Caribbean." It shows several views if what appear to be three different designs ranging from what appears to be a modified Lamborghini to golden combination crab/praying mantis. And amalgram other present-day supercars. Meanwhile the robot narrator glowingly describes "quilted leather seats"... (while showing what appear to be flat-padded vinyl). Yawn.

The narration goes on to describe "traditional Packard design hallmarks" but shows none. No red hexagons. No hood spears. No bird ornaments. No family crest. The narrator even goes into the "upright radiator" in one version, incredibly claiming it is "like Packard" but showing neither traditional Packard shape nor cusps. Sorry.

Then, they really step in the pile by misspelling Packard ON THE VEHICLE as both "PACARD"... "PAKARD" and "PACLARDD" while they repeatedly reference the lighting as "lead lighting" (presume this means LED lighting). Then calling the car "krib-yin" instead of Caribbean.

Have fun looking. They never say who or what is behind this video...

AI-generated garbage and nothing more. Actually it's probably edited manually by someone in a low GDP country such as Nigeria, but with 100% AI images, text,
and text-to-speech.

Did you see the "El Camino"-Camaro video next to it?

See all new Trabant with more doors than ever before! New style, speed and power compliments soft seat with cover of cloths. Requires no more gas than a motoscooter and doubles as a nifty breadbox for kitchen or rustic piknik!! New price and same old color or new sunset pink if you like for smallest upcharge! Includes starting key and another tire!!

Thanks for the laugh.
