Timewaster Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I had the misfortune to be stuck in traffic behind one of these for what seemed like hours last friday. and that strange bulge in the tailgate started to look reminicent of something, but what? It took a while, but I think it is this: Spotted any other shite reminicent styling on moderns?Fiat 500 / Bini / S-type / Beetle excluded obviously
phil_lihp Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I'm a big fan of the original Mk1 CR-V but that one and even more so the latest incarnations are just plain hideous. I preferred 80s/90s Hondas - neat, simple styling inside and out and good solid engineering. They seem to be going in the opposite direction lately. Often thought the depressingly bland Mk1 Almera reminded me of something... KruJoe 1
Shep Shepherd Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 The current Volvo V70 has a lot of Volvo 245 influences if you look closely
eddyramrod Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Actually this, especially from behind......reminds me of this, which I'm sure was deliberate!
chaseracer Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 You want ADO16 lookeylikey, you want '90s Corolla...
mercrocker Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Mk 1 Ka indicators always remind me of 105E Anglebox ones... morris_ital_lover, eddyramrod, saucedoctor and 2 others 5
Barry Cade Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 New Volvo V40 has the kink in the waistline like the P1800S and a tailgate like the P1800ES.. Citroen Airmax Crosstrainer B pillar looks very familiar.... morris_ital_lover 1
Felly Magic Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 What about the original Honda CRV 3 door? Look at the square back end and then at a Volvo 850 estate's rump....
KruJoe Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 You're thinking HRV, there was no three door CRV. Felly Magic 1
Felly Magic Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Yeah I sit down corrected kru, awfully familiar aren't they?
mercrocker Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 As Mr Partridge rightly pointed out on another thread, it has been Mr Loewys birthday. Here are two he had a hand in for the Loewky-Alike thread....They are fairly close together in the Observers Book of Automobiles too, thanks to alphabetic kinship!
garethj Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I might be stretching "familiar" a bit here... Tatra 613, the first incarnation VW 412, it's the headlights and indicators that does it, but the way the creases to the flat surfaces are done is very familiar too. But from the back, a later 613
phil_lihp Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I knew there was something familiar about the British Leyland ECV3 concept car someone posted a picture of a while back, Charlie2555's Greek spotted thread solved the riddle.
HillmanImp Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I spent about 10 minutes driving behind this the other day: Thinking it was one of these: I was quite taken aback when I finally realised what it was.
hairnet Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 seeing those tatras (70s) makes me think mk1 passat

It took a while, but I think it is this: You know where normal blokes look at one of those inkblot pictures and usually see a gaping flange? This is the autoshite version where you look at something and see an ADO16 Timewaster 1
jonny69 Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 ka plunk.PNGanglebox.PNG Mk 1 Ka indicators always remind me of 105E Anglebox ones... Sitting in an early Ka really reminded me of my Anglia. I don't know whether it was deliberate, but there were a lot of similarities.

chaseracer Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Sitting in an early Ka really reminded me of my Anglia. I don't know whether it was deliberate, but there were a lot of similarities. The engine, for one...
jmsguzzi Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Every single new MPV thingys look the same. Doesn't matter who makes them it's always big gaping mouth and thin headlights that stretch the length of Yorkshire with a kick up the rear wheel arch.
simmo Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 You want ADO16 lookeylikey, you want '90s Corolla... chaseracer 1
Barry Cade Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Those new Picasso's are hilarious! Just me??
