It’s a looker IMO

The spec names are a little odd.

Looks nice and compact.

There’s even a spec for America, lifted slightly and plastic around the lower edges.

WHAT!? Too soon?

From the side, it reminds me a lot of a Fiat 500 (a car that also has odd spec names like Pop and Lounge).

I think they look better (from other angles) than the Fiat 500,

An interior I could live with more.

As the owner of a red 2012 Fiat 500 Sport, I respectfully disagree. But they both look good (minus the one with plastic cladding and hideous chrome trim).

I didn’t mean any offence, sorry.

It’s not a market I’m into.

I’m more into the Corsa

No offense taken. It’s all a matter of personal taste.

I enjoy small cars because it’s all I need. I’d feel like I was wasting space if I drove myself to work in something bigger like a Honda Accord.

The chrome bit is just part of the current design language on some of the cars such as the

Astra estate,

Insignia estate,

Were these popular at all? I remember vauxhall launching it in the early/mid 2000s...

dunno, never sold here in Oz.

I’m generally not a fan of chrome on cars. Looking back at the original two pics you posted, the one with no chrome, black roof, and black wheels looks infinitely better to me than the one right below it. Same with the newer Honda Civics. That huge chrome grille is hideous, but the black grille on the sport model makes it look good.

I have a 1.4 Superb (VW Passat) ((‘dad car’)), so I can’t talk really.

It needs to take one person mostly but often has a dog in or a couple of passengers and has to be able to carry two wheel chairs.

All very boring.

I’ve always felt that being into cars was about finding ways to enjoy whatever you drive. Nothing wrong with a dad car if that’s what you need.

Most of my driving is just me. Occasionally it’s me and my better half and a small dog. The Fiat is fine. I’ve sat in the backseat for a quick ride to the bar, and I’m not small. There’s no children for me to worry about.

They tend to delete the chrome for something sportier.

Chuckles > Svend 04/27/2018 at 10:05

In both cases, the version without chrome trim looks a lot better to me.

I like the way people do double takes when Piglet is looking fresh, people commenting on the colour and people that ride inside saying how spacious and comfortable it is.

I think if circumstances were different I’d like something quite a bit smaller and though I’m not into anything fast I do like some of the styling.

Svend > Chuckles 04/27/2018 at 10:12

Ye’, they also seem to delete the chrome from the base vehicle too.

I thing on some cars with certain colours it works but ye’, I’d rather not have it.

The Fiat is actually my larger, more practical vehicle. When the weather is nice I’m driving this:

Oh man that sounds good.

I’d love to have a Fiat 124 Spider.

Scratch that, the one I grave the most is the Lancia Aurelia b24 Spider America,

In white with blood red leather interior and wire wheels.

But at £800,000. It’ll remain a pipe dream.

I’ll take mine in Abarth trim please

I like this one for the colour and the rack on the boot.

So classy.

Chuckles > Svend 04/27/2018 at 11:15

That is a nice blue. If you pack smart you shouldn’t need the rack unless you’re going on a very long trip.

Getting my car cleaning stuff in, may be difficult.

Not an issue when colleagues come to me but like Wednesday next week I have a colleague who I go to.

I don’t fancy having to take trailer driving lessons and do a trailer test.
