Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

This car has been mentioned on the thread before, I saw a real one! MPM PS160. It looks a bit unfinished in this colour scheme.865be17f3e2d951c55396b8acf255372.jpg

Drove past one of these on the motorway the other day, the Ssangyong Musso doublecab pickup.

 

I assumed it was some rehashed joint venture shit but it's their own design based on the Rexton chassis.

Probably coming to a FOAD near you in approx 15 years.

One of the few pickups with independent rear suspension.

 

Edit: rong, but it does use coil springs.

It won't go away, but the real achievement is they've managed to lure a female inside the shitty little thing.

We're back in Brazil fellas, with the Ford Verona. There was also a rebadged VW version, that is better in every way...because it's a VW.

 

Imagine the scene twats finding one? They'd be knighted by the brethren of idiots.

That Verona looks like a cut and shut of an Orion and a Sierra Sapphire that somehow lost a pair of doors along the way.

Followed a funny looking rear end today; when the traffic jam intervened I was introduced to the Suzuki Kizashi.

No photo but LL13XAA for proofs it happened.

Kizashis are 4WD and have 185bhp, six speed manual or CVT. They're ace Q-cars but very very rare.

^^^ Absolutely under my radar. And, even rarer in my biased view, a Suzuki passenger car that actually looks quite neatly styled.

 

24-carat futureshite, for sure - rocking horse dung rarity combined with surprising performance. A Colt Cordia for the 21st century... stash now.

I have form in this thread for spotting really ugly 4x4s.

 

The other day (not far from Goodwood) we spotted what appeared to be a Rolls Royce SUV.  Or possibly a Victorian fireplace towing a Range Rover.

 

It was spectacularly ugly.

One of these then. Somewhere around £250000. post-18002-0-10438100-1530346506_thumb.jpg

As far as i am aware we only got the auto Kizashi in the uk. I have had 3. Fantastic cars, other than the £500 odd road tax band.  :)

Gradually the Bentley and Rolls brands are being devalued. If is not an original Rolls they should go after them for copyright. IMHO there is a place for a Rolls offroader - but it should be the ultimate in engineering and usefulness - not some gin-palace. Here is T E Lawrences 1908 Rolls used in the desert - so there is a precedent for one...

Toyota Crown too big?  You'll need a Toyota Tiara then.

Has just a hint of 60s Opel about it.

I seem to be the only person who prefers the looks of the plug-in version of the Prius!

I'd like it more if it didn't suffer from a wheel-to-bodywork ratio that makes it look like it's got cankles.

Great spot! Where'd you see it LP?

In the northwestern suburbs of Paris near Cergy, it seemed to be owned by a building site gaffer.

I think it looks better too, at the back and the front...

I know what you mean, but the problem is that putting bigger wheels on it puts it into the next CO2 class. I found I could forgive the odd look when I understood the reasoning behind it!
