Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

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.

[davocano]

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.

[Ghosty]

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

[Datsuncog]

^^^ 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.

If anybody's vaguely interested, here's my Kizashi review from 2013:

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.

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.

No more proof needed that capitalism needs to die.

[lesapandre]

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.

[Aston Martin]

Kizashi in the uk. I have had 3.

I have many questions.

[bunglebus]

I've seen many odd things lately;

 

Hyundai Kona;

 

 

Infinity QX56;

 

 

Prius PHV - seriously odd rear window and indicators;

 

 

Citroen C-Eysee

 

 

Ford Ka+

 

 

Suzuki Forenza;

 

 

Seat Arona;

 

 

Prius+;

 

 

Dacia Logan van - the one I saw just had the rear windows blanked, can't find an image;

 

 

Dacia Dokker;

 

 

Lancia Ypsilon Elephantino;

 

 

Dodge Dart;

 

 

Vauxhall Cascada;

toyota will...

Prius PHV - seriously odd rear window and indicators;

 

[SierraMikeHotel]

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

[vulgalour]

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.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

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.

Great spot! Where'd you see it LP?

[bramz7]

 

Biagini Passo. Yes, it's a MK1 Golf with a 4x4 chassis. Those crazy Italians.

[Lacquer Peel]

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.

Never knew these existed. They look ace and value used too.

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!

You may want to get your IT guy(s) onto that, you have three comments all of which are spam and/or dodgy links.

Cheers, deleted now. Problem is that the site was forced to move over to Disqus when Intensedebate went all doolaly. It's a bit of a spam free-for-all on older posts that escape moderator attention.

 

Not like this place, where such behaviour is swiftly and robustly dealt with.

[vulgalour]

I knew about the later 90s Ford Tempo.  I didn't know about the earlier 80s ones.  What's weird is the four door sedan versions look like a really chunky oversized version of our native four door hatchback Sierra.

 

 

[JeeExEll]

Based on the Honda variant rather than the Acclaim but hey ho. And WTF ?

 

 

 

Thunderbirds Are Go.

[Sir Snipes]

How wonderfully bizarre! Front on almost looks like a Starion.
