Also, they call the top trim level "Brit dynamic" for a car that isn't even sold in Britain... Really wish SAIC got to develop a new 2 seater roadster to sell here, at least give MG a halo car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Lots to unpack on this page! I like 'Gloster' and think we should probably rename the city and county thusly to make it easier for Americans to pronounce. Also love the 21st century Nissan Sunny, but that Yue Loong more than a Feeling is just superb. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Lada 1200- I assumed the riva was the blanket all market product from its intro onwards - but they kept going With the older Fiat 124 front and rear styling treatment for certain markets until about late 1987.

Spottedlaurel Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 On 12/26/2020 at 12:16 PM, chaseracer said: I recognise that photo. It was local to me and I went to view it on behalf of MatT (longtime AS member who we sadly don't see much of nowadays). That Ford Aztec (Mazda 323) reminded me of the Festiva: As seen on the Baz Renault 9 collection mission in 2007, and believed to be Australian-spec. I assumed it was related to the 323, but no, it appears to be a separate model. There's even a 3-door which looks not unlike the 323/Aztec. Also sold as Ford Aspire in the USA, and Kia Avella (which apparently reached Malta). First-gen Festiva was a rebadged Mazda 121/Kia Pride, and for Japan only the third-gen model was a Demio.
