Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

[Timewaster]

I think we have had the Grandland before.

 

Shows just how forgettable they are.

[Steve79]

Don't forget the Vauxhall Grandland

 

Uhh...oh wait forgot!

[vulgalour]

 

I knew it was a Seat because of the big badge on the back, had to google which one.  Apparently a Leon estate, sometimes seems to be an Exeo?  Anyway, the one I spotted today was in this fabulous turquoise metallic with not-stupid wheels and just looked really nice.  It's one of those cars where all the photographs make it look like a knock-off Audi while in person it's quite a smart bit of design.  Anway, I didn't know they existed until today, so here we are.

Its a leon estate, my daughter has a 15 plate one the exact colour as that one. It had those wheels o it until I wrote off my leon so she took my nicer 17" wheels which had new tyres on and those wheels went away on my write off.

An Exeo is a rebadged Audi A4 with a different front end.

And all of the quality removed!

[wuvvum]

Given that most Vauxhall Mokkas seem to be driven by utter cunts, I shudder to think what the audience for the Grandland will be,

[Lacquer Peel]

The best VAG vehicles I've had were made in Spain.

Exactly the same.

 

Generally obtained by sponging morons cashing in on grandmas/fraudulently obtained Motability allowance.

 

I work at an all Vauxhalls are Shit dealership, and we have a queue of the above waiting for Grandlands.

[Aston Martin]

A suzuki kizashi drove past me... I forget they existed.

 

Top shitter chod in about 15 years.

[treehugger]

Suzuki what? And whats a Grandland? Off to google................

My neighbours, he has an Insignia, she has a Qashcow............contain your jealousy!

[SRi05]

I just walked past an 04 plate jag with cloth seats and a manual gearbox, didn't know they came with either! Proper povvo spec

Yes we've had it before and I made a wisecrack along the lines of 'in 10 years time it'll be called the Poundland'.

 

As it has made a re-appearance may I be permitted to make the following wisecrack?

 

Grandland?

 

'In 10 years time it'll be called the Poundland'.

[Bucketeer]

I've just been reading about a W126 500SEL that a Japanese artist bought and created an estate out of.

Did they take their design insparation from the Toyota Tercel?

 

[Junkman]

There were more elegant answers to a question nobody asked.

 

 

 

Also hatchback.

 

 

It was flogged on eBay a few years back, has deteriorated on someone's driveway ever since and is now in dreadful condition.

Here is an article about the blue Japanese conversion, which is meanwhile in Berlin: https://www.motor-talk.de/news/die-wahrscheinlich-schraegste-s-klasse-der-welt-t6316251.html

I had no idea that these existed until I saw this photo in the Jury Service thread.

 

Girlfriend's dad had a Taunus though.  He really wanted a Mustang but could never have got away with it.

Ironically he was the town's Ford dealer until he sold the business to his brother.

An American oddity, why do things like this get imported to this country?

The epitome of US styling, the 1990  Chevrolet Corsica.

Fortunately at $800.00 asking the owner should lose money

[Jazoli]

They normally arrive via American military service people who bring them to their base I've found, I used to see a lot of old USA stuff around air bases back in the 90's.

[STUNO]

American bases are NOT PERMITTED in this country, they got told to f off years ago . They got upset for a while.

That Chev will have been imported by someone who fell in love with the styling. His wife has probably withdrawn services until it has gone from the driveway.   

[Sir Snipes]

Lakenheath is a American base isn't it?

I understand that technically the USA dosen't have any bases of it's own in the UK anymore - they're all became RAF properties but almost exclusively used by the USA. RAF Lakenheath is the only one from which the USAF still flies, but, for example, the massive spying operation at Menwith Hill (RAF Menwith Hill) is still going strong. There is no attempt at keeping the secret...

 

[Aston Martin]

Alot of cool shit comes via Mildenhall I believe.

[Tayne]

Stuno was referring to New Zealand where he lives and where that Chevy is for sale.

[Aston Martin]

I saw a Golf R convertible and I thought, there's no fucking way that's real.... It is.

 

It was supposed to be £38k, but they lopped £5k off after launch.
