That’s hilarious. Looks like they were copying a Bini , put in the correct dimensions for height and length (presumably). Then someone says “how wide should it be?” so another someone is told to go find out and puts the original Mini size in. Chinese whispers truly.

Have to say, I'm quite thankful for that.

If they had made it earlier it would have been the Beetle. Looks far more like one than the VW.

The new Ssangyong Tivoli

So new it's now apparently a KGM. Anyway the door handles aren't at the same height which is annoying

Should be renamed the Titahi, because I do.

This is the ErreErre Furioserie, based on an Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio.

ErreErre's wild Furioserie rebodied Alfa will get 562bhp and (maybe) a six-speed manual (msn.com)

It looks great from the front

 

but not so good from the back.

The bods at Top Gear do not seem to have picked up were the styling has come from.

I’m sure all that shit is just to distract us. While we’re laughing, they’re also working on proper cars which will destroy the car industry in the West.

A Torres?
Passed one of these parked up today in the middle of nowhere so I only got the butt (ugly) view and had to do GoogleFoo when I got home - turns out Ssangyong can actually do an uglier car than the Rodius

I rather liked my P reg Mussolini despite being fugly, and my wife still covets a 2000 era Korando just because it’s so ugly only a mother could love it 😊

It’s OK but terrible on motorways as you can’t get it out of the middle lane.

Is it just me or do they all appear to have been designed by a team who have all just fallen out with each other?

Just saw an advert for some kind of Shkoda SUV coupe thing.

I didn't know the 2nd gen MR2 had 90 odd full convertibles sold in the Japanese market. Aftermarket conversion I think.
