Nissan e-NV200 Combi. Saw one last week parked up:

I was at a camping expo a few months ago and one company had one of those as campervan. I still can't see the point of a campervan with a range of 200 miles before needing several hours charging.

Because hippy hipster.

It's actually advertised as 170km range for the standard van

Still, that would get you to the seaside in the UK i suppose

Indeed. But it was a thing of beauty. The new Megane also looks good (and is coming to the UK)

Not coming to the UK apparently because the Brits prefer ugly boxes on wheels SUVs and crossovers.

Cars are taxed on every subject under the sun anyway, so how about an aesthetics tax? Bagsy I get to decide...

New Fiat Tipo, saw it the other day, do you lot get that one?

'16 plate one of these last night, first time I'd ever seen one - Suzuki Baleno.

I spotted those too in Le Mans, was a bit confused what it was for a while! Saw quite a few of the Estates in particular. Apparently they aren't even engineered to be RHD capable so not just the UK missing out. Similar story with the new Espace.

Hi there,

On the M4 today in Wales I overtook a Volvo S60 that was riding very high and looked odd. Having passed it I could see it was badged 'AWD' A bit of digging tonight and I found out it is an S60 XC (Cross Country). I know Volvo have a range of XC estates but I have never seen it on one of their saloons.

They are getting more and more popular in Sweden, well around Göteborg anyway - so that probably means they've started giving them out to the factory workers! Went in one the other week, very nice ride as a passenger.
