How does a nondescript three door economy hatchback from over a decade ago that was never sold in the US end up as a toy at my local CVS?

There were actually two:

Also, why did CVS ignore my prescription for three days, tell me it’s ready for pickup when I called, and then tell me they’re still filling it and I need to wait 5-10 minutes when I showed up at the drive through ~30 minutes after I called?

They were too busy figuring out what a Peugeot 307 even is...

A lot of drugstore cars are made by Kinsmart, likely including these . They are Hong Kong based, and seem to like to distribute whatever they produce indiscriminately .

I see those 307s as well as some other unlikely candidates all the time on my local Kroger’s rack.

This is actually a good thing, since you can then explain to inquiring kids about Peugeot and show them some of their actually cool cars.

EDIT: Look inside the back seat of every car on the rack. There are ALWAYS plastic suitcases back there, possibly to hide the wind back mechanism.
