The Maestro prototype looks like a Lada! 

Only with less rust proofing.

New one on me - fell over this tonight surfing the web (does that date me? Web surfing?)
Launched 1997 with a 214BHP V6, re-engined 1999 with a different 253BHP V6
Household here is split 50/50 on fugly/not fugly

You could get a matching trailer for your Prowler.

What Prowler?
This would do, I could then drive around in with it without attracting attention?

One I spotted on a recent trip.

And one the better half saw online.

I've driven a Windstar! They're not bad, though I find it hard to believe it doesn't share /some/ DNA with the Kia Sedona - given the Aerostar is VERY different...

[bunglebus]

They were pretty well known in the 90s, you could even get a Matchbox version

Fugly. Also, pretentious.

[barrett]

Probably not too controversial an opinion, but I've always assumed anyone who drives a Prowler is a nonce

Still better than a PT Cruiser though.

One from France, the Hyundai Azera. A selected market rename for the Grandeur, which I also didn't reallly know about.

 

[Timewaster]

Does anyone else keep seeing generic looking SUV EVs with unrecognisable badges?

BYDs and Jaecoos I can pick out, but Ive seen a few now and thought WTF is that?

One badge has 6 rounded squares in a rectangle pattern. One looks sort of .//. 

Presumably Chinese but I really don't know.

[sheffcortinacentre]

How many will have stopped making/selling them by end of this decade?

Nothing. They're BrilliANT.

Heard of the Polo cross, but the UP! cross is a new one on me.

 

As is the XC90 (I think) ambulance conversion.
