Sodding continuity.
I’m watching the Accident Man, 51minutes in, there is a flash back to his youth. There’s a nice little Jaguar XJS in the drive way, then around the corner is an old Rover SD1, oh ye’, and a Ford Ka
ye’, a circa 2008-2016 second generation Ford Ka.
not to mention, four minutes later they are standing between two cars, one of them is the same Rover SD1 they walked past just four mi nutes ago.

When I was in Europe I saw a Ka+. A 5 door Ka.
At what point is it just identical to the Fiesta? Confused as.

Ye’, the body shop gave us one when Piglet went in to have some damage repaired.
Because when the insurance says like for like, a Ford KA+
is the same as a Skoda Superb.
I mean sure, the boot space is the same.
KA+
Superb
The KA+ (aka Figo) is made on the Fiesta Mk5 underpinnings and is essentially the same size as the sixth gen Fiesta.
You know they even make (or rather made) a Ford KA+ Active.
They are or have discontinued the KA+ in Europe.

Actually that’s why I don’t call the Mk3 Renault Twingo a proper Twingo.
Mk1 Tw ingo.
Front wheel drive, three door and front engine.
Mk2 Tw ingo.
Front wheel drive, three door and front engine.
Mk3 Twingo.
Rear wheel drive, five door and rear engine. Look at those awful rear windows.

The Ka+ is a lower tier car, like a Dacia, Chevrolet or how they built Hyundais a decade or two ago . Cheap and shitty, very clearly designed and built to a lower price point . A below-mainstream price point for its size segment . A Fiesta, at least a European market Fiesta, is a much nicer car.

It was okay in the end.
It’s sort of a British, Wick 2.

It is a handsome devil though, the little mk3

Haha, I see. The Fiesta is pretty nice. I drove one in Germany once and loved it.
Must be hard to advertise that. Manufacturers are pretty keen to market cars based on segment, they’re less keen to say “it’s like a shittier, cheaper Fiesta”

As a manufacturer you simply market these by their price. That's their unique selling point, so that's what you emphasize.
