The identical badge-engineed Buick Skyhawk, Chevy Monza, Pontiac Sunbird, and Olds Starfire of the '75-'80 model years were equipped with a 3.8 liter V-6 that was very large for the size of the engine compartment on these small cars.
The result was that, in order to change the spark plugs on the right bank of the engine, you had to disconnect the motor mounts, attach a chain hoist, and lift the engine at least a few inches in order to be able to access those plugs.

I'm pretty sure some 2000s Renault models had it so the only way to change the front light bulbs was through the wheel wells

I can say I did leave a bit of skin trying to change that front line from the engine side. Apparently I was supposed to take the whole light block out or something. You bleed and you learn.
