warch Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Proper Landrovers have the rear plate on the side of the rear tub, which is practical and looks fine, it’s when it’s offset slightly it looks all wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappy Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Only due to recent purchase have I noticed this one... Mk3 Focii have different exhaust outlets depending on engine size. Yes, some of you cry, the ST is centre exit! Not them, I retort, the 1 litre pez and the 1.6 diesel exit via a subtle route on the left... The larger capacity versions of both, 1.6 pez and 2L diesel exit on the right... Cool, you can all go back to sleep now... goosey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 This pointless little window on the Aldi A1. You won't see out of the O/S one from the driver's seat, why not just change the shape of the rear door and lose the quarterlight post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adw1977 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Also on the A1, weird vents above the grille that make it look like the bonnet isn't quite closed. bunglebus and Tenmil Socket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17-Coffees Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Design it so the window goes down so far then starts to go down at an angle, leaving the top end of the window poking out at a weird angle when down. Ah wait, it's Audi, not 90's Lexus... 😆 - One thing I cannot unsee is the seat-to-door positioning on the Alfa Giulia... When you put the drivers seat into position for anyone that's average height or above, the back part/headrest is in the middle or behind the B-Pillar! It's bugged me since a mate told me. It doesn't look bad in the picture I've posted, but in real life you'll see what I mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the current trend towards all roads in the UK being reduced in speed, this would actually be a massive saving. Immediate safety for towns, everybody having to do 18mph! Think of the children!

Think of the elderly (the designers are now all elderly so are thinking of themselves). Phil Good idea. Could it be extended to distances between towns which would suddenly be 5/8ths nearer? Thus reducing travel time and fuel consumption. Convert back to miles and suddenly Sheffield is only 20 miles away and Leeds 37.

Crackers Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The Cube is a massive BIW change for what strikes me as very much a niche model. I wonder what it cost them to tool up for both variations? The Rancho on the other hand looks to only be a change in one weld-in panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine in the picture below is pre facelift and looks longer. I think it is due to the picture, the B2 was always a Looong car for what they did with it, the only reason the early quattro's dominated rally was due to the overwhelming superiority of the power and drivetrain, as the wheelbase was long and low so it wasn't as nimble as the other cars. See how it looks on my 80 compared to our quattro AnnoyingPentium and Dyslexic Viking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a pointless expense. Just put it in the middle! If only BMW had been as diligent when designing the Bini Clubman's little door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
