It must be something about vehicle manufacturers, because they seem to be some of the worse offenders for this kind of nonsense:

Last time I had one of these, it was when looking up information about Renault cars before buying a new vehicle. We did not buy Renault. We did not even bother go to a Renault show room.

This time it is Scania (don’t ask!)

Now I browse the Internet with either Safari or Firefox. Both are far better browsers than Internet Explorer. Occasionally I use text browsers or browsers on handheld devices, and these stupid sites break with these browsers too.

Now if everybody wrote sites with an eye on web standards, then we would all be much better off, and we would not have brain dead retailers trying to persuade us to infect our machines with Microsoft’s dangerous products, telling us we must “upgrade” to this rubbish before they are willing to sell us their products.
