Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

Dong Feng have the best web address ever. It just looks like someone mashed their fist into the keyboard.

That website is brilliant....

The Fiat/Abarth 124 Spider was originally going to be an Alfa, but Alfa decided they don't want any non Italian cars in there line up...

Essentially just the next MX5 but with an Italian dress,(The cockpit is just the same!) and with Fiats 1.4 T-Jet engine. Meant to be a bit 'softer' than the MX5 in fiat trim, wheres the Abarth is more sportier.(Suspension, brakes, etc)  Both have more power than the MX5 as well if I remember off hand.

 

 

Personally, when I trade my Abarth 595 in i'd be tempted to see how much these are.

I saw a Toyota Yaris Verso today. Ideal for people with small driveways but tall hats.

 

Known as the Toyota Fun Cargo in Japan!

[tooSavvy]

Saw a Suzuki SX4 saloon the other day. Undesirable or what! It looked awful, a bit like those Skoda Fabia saloons they used to do. Really badly proportioned.

Booted Fabia....

 

Ha! Saw one today = thought the same lolzz

[Ghosty]

Almera saloons are equally weird.

[sierraman]

Loads of Renault Fluences and Almera saloon in Eire.

The Mazda RX3 Estate, i had seen photos of it before but i never knew there was a estate version and i really didn't know that it was available to buy in the UK, i can't imagine they sold many or that there's even any left if they did.

I have a new favourite car name...

 

Taiwan's not at all unpleasant looking and fanastically named Yue Loong Feeling.

Anyone seen one of these It's a Ford KA+

 

[Snipes]

I like Almere saloons!

Further evidence of dumbing down.

 

This is the KA adding up.

In 1997 you could buy a KA squared or a KA Cubed.

 

Such irony.

[Ghosty]

Ka cubed?

 

That's most of them now.

Some years ago (pre-digital days!) I saw one up here in Norfolk, it was just a couple of miles from where I lived at the time:

Tried to find a home for it, but I think it just got scrapped in the end. The yard that took it did a lot of export, if it went that way I’m not sure what they’d have made of the rotary engine…..

Polish built Ka was styled by Tracey Emin.

[Supernaut]

That Ka plus is a bit redundant with the existence of the Fiesta...

[Tamworthbay]

But the new fiesta is the size of an old focus and the new focus is nearly the size of the first Mondeo. In a few years the new Ka will the size of a Granada and there will four as yet unnamed cars below it.

[MarvinsMom]

I like Almere saloons!

oh thank god for that.....

 

i thought i was the only one!

Not cheap for what they are, made in India. The last gen Kack was a flop, and I suspect this won't do much better

[Mr Laurence]

 

Have we had the Suzuki twin yet? Japan only, and apparently the first kei car available as a hybrid. Not known about these for long at all

[Alexg]

 

WTF is that man?

[chaseracer]

Some sort of Argentinian Renault/Rambler mashup with added Peugeot...?

[barrett]

It's a special version of the IKA Torino called a Comahue, built by a guy called Luteral iirc, built in small numbers throughout the 70s

[vulgalour]

Stumbled across this Panhard while horbgorbling** around the internet and fell down a rabbit hole of bizarre variations of an already strange car.  Put "Panhard Pichon Parat" into Google images to see what I mean.

 

 

 

 

 

**The act of roaming without intent, wandering aimlessly for pure pleasure.

[Sheefag]

Polonez Kombi, I really like this.

 

 

[Ghosty]

Observation of the day: Carisma saloon.

Small numbers hardly a shock really !!
