Long Into The Future Autoshite

[In The Pit]

Here's a peek into the future with cars that have been or will be released this year or in 2015/2016.  Ones that have an Autoshite feel to them already and are likely to look wildly outdated and Tagoraish (I think i've invented a new word, that only we will understand) by 2034.

 

First up this is the Citroen C4 Cactus

The pads on the door are called Airbump and are available in black, grey, chocolate or dune (AS beige?)

 

 

This abomination is the new VW XL1

Apparently if you open the boot you see the face of Anakin Skywalker.

 

 

The new Kia Soul

Kia have succeeded in making an already ugly car worst however with the story in today's news that the Pope used a Kia Soul in his visit to South Korea could this now be the ultimate car to travel to mass in.  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2724665/Pope-Francis-makes-visit-Asia-tiny-Kia-Soul-requesting-South-Korea-s-smallest-car-visit.html

 

 

Lexus RC Coupe

The buying public hated the new Ford Scorpio because of it's wide mouth grille.

 

 

Hyundai Genesis

Looks quite nice actually but i've included it because Hyundai say this will only be available in small numbers for 'selected buyers', I wonder if they'll let Phil Collins have one.

 

 

Possible new Ford KA

I've only added this as it shows Ford seem to be copying Mini in making a car that's supposed to be small massive.

 

So in 20 years time (aside from the KA) maybe these will be the Autoshite gold.

Chrysler 300C. Already drifting into shiter territory.

^^^ try and find one without a tossy "bentley" grille

[Micrashed]

I want a Kia Soul solely so that I can refer to it as "Our Soul" when speaking about it. 

[laser wheels]

I genuinely love that Citroen Cactus! Can't wait for the epic depreciation to kick in so I can buy one for tuppence ha'penny in 18 months time.

[laser wheels]

Oh, and that Hyundai Genesis thingy is a Ford Mondeo AICMFP.

[DVee8]

Can i play 2015 Nissan Pulsar  From £15,995

 

[dave21478]

meh.

 

take the badges off and you cant tell them apart.

 

At least Autoshite cars are recognisable in amongst todays ocean of monochrome amorphous blobs with swept-back teardrop shaped headlights.

^^^ try and find one without a tossy "bentley" grille

I've found two;

 

 

One of these is on my drive, the other my nightmares.

This is the reason Domestic Management went for a C3 instead.  Oh, and that the Soul was crushingly SHIT...

[Junkman]

All of this ridiculously hideous newfangled tosh will long have failed an emissions test until 2034.

Thanks God.

 

Oh, and I once hinted at buying a Soul, when it reaches shite territory.

My children didn't speak to me for a week.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

I wonder how long it will be until someone transplants either Hybrid or plug-in electric motors into some old shite?

It may seem far fetched but there's a lot of modern Diesel engines finding there way into some unlikely places.

[tooSavvy]

I flagged that unn ^^^^^^^^^^

Oddly enough, I was thinking Pug 508...

[Jim Bergerac]

I think the Cactus is great. That said, I reckon one that will still have the touchscreen (which is used for the operation of a lot of things such as the stereo and air conditioning) working by 2034 will be impossible to find.

[rml2345]

I reckon that Hyundai Genesis is a great looking car. I might even buy one in 2034 for 500 Haggis or whatever currency Scotland has then.

Your parenting is complete, JM...You have passed.

The thought of transplanting 21st century engines and the 100kg of computers, sensors and wiring which goes with them horrifies me! As would having 180hp in an old, twisty monocoque. Something mid-90s like a 406 turbo diesel would seem to be best of all worlds - simple engine, no computers, rot-free body and the thing was designed to work as a whole.

 

Praps the VW TDi engines are as simple as modern stuff goes, plus very easily tuneable. SImpler and more logical electronics than most, too. Always fancied building a Lotus 7 style thing with a 110hp TDi with long gearing. I think Richard Wilshire of Turbo Techincs once popped a Ford 1.8td into a Westfield (to make a Weasel) and reckoned it was superb. Having a proper wind-in-hair sports car running round on free fuel sounds very appealing and very autoshite.

Having an appalling grease-in-hair dodgy car running round on gallons of fuel because it was nearly free sounds very appealing and very autoshite.

[Squire_Dawson]

They're just odd, and all of them will feel 'soft' to drive, uncomfortable and hard to park, as we all know. I will stick to a proper car, thanks.

[Pillock]

We looked at a Soul. It had a nice driving position bit also the performance of a snail gaffer-taped to a rock, and a really awful interior with shiny creaky plastics.

 

The stereo speakers light up in time with the music.

[Felly Magic]

Anything with a Chevrolet (Daewoo) badge? 

[Partridge]

Nah, they're just "shit".
