So this came into work today, and caught me totally off guard. Either I've completely erased any knowledge of the Almera Saloon from my mind, or this is the first time I've ever seen one.

 

Just seen one heading north on the M1 in gold.

Did Top Gear do that for practice before the Espace episode?

That is just not nice. Obviously influenced by Zagato and the worst of Japanese (Lexus) styling. It's a no from me.

Without being racist and stereotyping, do you think they possibly meant it to be Ringroad?

Saw one of these today, can't remember noticing one before. A SUV with only 2 passenger doors:

Why?

Are you sure? I see a shut line going down the rear quarter panel and a possible handle at the rear of the rear window.

[adw1977]

Yeah, I think Honda have cunningly concealed the rear doors.  Probably more obvious in lighter colours.

Hyundai Bayon.  Had one as a hire car in Holland last weekend, had never heard of it before.

More to the point what's with the weird image that drives off the side of my phone screen?

Honda's website shows all of the details,  including the 'coupe' styling which features hidden rear door handles.  No mention of a two (or 3) door version. Only 5 doors.  Anyway, I don't like it.  It's like a Nissan Juke with most of the ugly bits ironed flat,  just leaving a dumpy, ill-proportioned look that we are supposed to admire.   

[Timewaster]

I have a real hate for concealed rear for handles.

I just don't get it.

Did anyone think the Alfa 156 was a 2 door coupe? 

No.

Now these lifestyle bullshit blobs like the H-RV above and particularly the Toyota CHR have rear door handles almost in the roofline.

Tiny rear doors and a low roof mean the rear is only suitable for children....Who can't reach the handle?!

Looks like I'm wrong, again. I still don't like the look of it though.

My wife got me a T shirt with that written on it - 42" chest any good  
And I agree - that's Fugly.
Went to the East Midlands last weekend (i.e. richer that around here so stuff newer than a 15 plate  ) and we were behind three SUV thingies at a junction sat up in the van cab- missus remarked that there were three identical marques of car in a row as we looked over the rooflines -  they were actually a Skoda, Hyundai and (I think) a Kia at the front. Subtly different here and there but so bland (and fugly)

Now that's something we can both agree on🙂

I've printed that out and pasted it up in the cab alongside my other identification sheets so we'll be safe from enemy raiders...
