I believe the changes are welcome. What other car companies should change their logos/names? And how?

Cadillac - Buick

GM - actually, I can’t think of a better way to describe GM than “we make cars generally ”

Toyota - Odiosum (combination latin words Odiosis - boring and fidum - dependable)

Lincoln - Navigator. just own it.

Subaru /Honda/Mitsubishi to join forces - obviously it would be called. Nordon defense dynamics. of crap thats already a thing? um. Honbisharu

The Chevy bow-tie is a shit logo that makes their cars look cheap.

Nissan sent vehicles to Saturn? I thought only Opel did that.

Well that’s accurate then, at least.

Probably some will even make it to market before the sun explodes into a supernova.

What is a Stellantis? Sounds like an infection.

There’s been a call in the FP comments for Mergio to come out of retirement for this.

Or perhaps a congenital heart disorder. Not good.

The flowtie WOULD be the stupidest ‘feature’ ever put on a car if it didn’t make the chevy logo so much less obvious.

I’m sad we don’t live in a universe where I can choose between a Nissan id-x and a Chevy 130R

I think Stellantis should change their name to STELLA!!!!

Agreed....but still asymmetrical which is the worst thing you can do to vehicle design unless you’re a Mack R model.

Hmm. Not sure if i agree or not on this one. I sort of like the Nissan Cube. I do not like the veloster, nor did I like any saturn with a 3rd door. My mom’s Mini Clubman though, i do like.

What about gas caps and windshield wipers? Does the lack of symmetry there bug you?

ClassicDatsunDebate > feather-throttle-not-hair 07/15/2020 at 20:54

No, gas caps I can handle.  I like the cube too but a badge, at least it’s silhouette, should be.  In my book anyway.

A neighbour has one of these and it pisses me off every time I see it.

Mk1, front engine, FWD, 3 door hatch,

Mk2, front engine, FWD, 3 door hatch then

Mk3, rear engine, RWD, 5 door hatch.

The Mk3 goes against the history of the Twingo.

Not to mention that stripe that runs from the front, to the A pillar, up, continue along, half way along the rear door, it comes down and continues to the rear.

Rant over. Lol.

wait the new one doesnt come in 3 door?

but...but... its a dinky little hatchback...they are supposed to be 3 door

rear engined rwd just means more fun potential tho

Svend > farscythe - makin da cawfee! 07/16/2020 at 16:33

Nope, strictly five door.

Sporty 3 door hatchbacks are getting rarer and rarer.

Hell, 3 doors are getting rare.

The only real inexpensive 3 door is the Ford Fiesta ST Performance Edition, 1.5 Ecoboost, 197bhp , which is wheel drive and front engined.

Corsa 3 door, gone,

Polo 3 door, gone and

Golf 3 door, gone.
