You didn’t even get hubcaps on your “executive” car. Meanwhile, the UK Executive was the fancy pants trim on Carina II, Corolla and Camry. I prefer "your" taillights though. "Ours" look a but half arsed. Why did they change them? MorrisItalSLX 1

UK/European cars required a redesigned taillight arrangement to fit a rear fog lamp and to accommodate your very long number plates. Australian and American cars use the original Japanese design.

Timewaster Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Oh boy that's ugly. Not deliberately challenging like a Ssangyong, just utterly half arsed. It looks like some sort of scrap yard skip lash up made of bits of old Daewoo. bunglebus and Datsuncog 2
vulgalour Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 It probably is. Every 90s hatchback ever made is a Daewoo. FAKT. Supernaut and LightBulbFun 2

Should be : Damp, Mildew, Layby, Piss bucket, Cleethorpes, deckchair, powdered milk. I think the accepted protocol is to prefix every caravan name with the word "anal". Anal Pioneer, Anal Ace, Anal Swift, Anal Sahara, oh...

Ford Popular. Ford Probe (snigger). Mazda Friendee (wtf?!). List goes on. The pre-WWII Skoda was Superb. And the Rapid pretty funky. Datsuncog 1

I loved my Carisma, just a shame that the Renault diesel engine kept having the attacks of the random (and ultimately un-fathomable) limp mode. It was a very well designed and ergonomic family and kit hauler. I'd have another. Plus I love the curvy lines of the face lift, pictured.

I think it eventually became the base model for the 205 309, 405 as opposed to a GE with an optional pop-up sunroof.

Needs a bigger arch 6" further forward In fact now I look again, the whole body is 6" too far forward compared to the "chassis"
